Nothing looks more stunning than a face that’s glowing with health. No amount of makeup can match that natural radiance. Most of us hit the panic button when asked, ‘what happened to your skin?’ What follows are frantic trips to a salon, dermatologist or to the cosmetics store to stock up on creams and ointments. Skin darkening gives most of us sleepless nights. Skin damage can be caused by:
· Exposure to sun – cause tanning and pigmentation.
· Environmental factors – result in uneven skin tone. The unequal accumulation of the skin pigment melanin causes patchy skin.
· Long exposure to air conditioning – saps the moisture off your skin, making it lifeless and dull.
Your friends may insist that people with normal skin are the ‘lucky’ ones. But, it doesn’t mean you should take your skin for granted. Your skin’s like a baby. It needs constant care, love, attention and pampering. This holds true irrespective of your skin type. Here’s how you can flaunt perfect skin:
Stay Fresh
Washing your face removes all traces of dirt, grime and makeup. Avoid soap, as it can dry your skin. Exposure to wind, sun and other environmental factors, even air conditioning, can also block up your skin’s pores. Use perfect radiance fairness face wash that will help in keeping your skin soft, bright and sparkling with its gentle deep cleansing action. A face wipe also helps in keeping your face dirt-free.
Plate Right
Chocolate, candies, French fries and pizza! Delicious as they are, these food items are definitely on your skin’s foe list. They cause blemishes and make your skin oily, which can, in turn, cause acne. Stay away from fried food and aerated drinks. Eight glasses of water a day is the best-kept secret of many a diva! Include as many fruits, veggies and liquids to your diet. It is hard to digest the fact, but reduce the intake of the delicacies and feels the difference.
Sweat It Out
Regular exercise works wonder not only for your body, but also for your skin. You don’t need to be a fitness freak to enjoy the benefits. Squeeze in 45 minutes in your daily schedule for walking, running, jogging, swimming, dancing or any other physical activity that interests you.
Scrub ’Em Off
Don’t ignore dead skin cells. They result in a dull complexion. Exfoliate at least twice a week to reveal a new glow.
Ban The Rays
Bright sunny days may cheer you up and make you want to step out in your floral dresses. While you’re enjoying the outdoors, the harsh UV rays are having a gala time damaging your skin. Long exposure can leave your skin blotchy and cause premature wrinkles. Wear sunglasses and wide-rimmed hats and dab an ample dose of fairness day lotion enriched with SPF-15. The lotion is light and quickly gets absorbed into cleansed skin.
Make Me Up No More
Avoid makeup whenever you can. Your skin needs to breathe. Regular and excessive use can cause break-outs, rashes, dry skin and discolouration. Stick to popular brands and ones with fewer chemicals.
Hydrate Generously
If you’re locked up in an air-conditioned environment all day long, moisturising is a must. Keep a day cream in office or in your car so you can hydrate your skin frequently.
Kick The Habit
If you like to have a drink too many times a day or are a nicotine addict, you’re in for all kinds of skin problems. Wrinkles and blotches may become a permanent feature. Smokers and drinkers often have an uneven to dull complexions.
