Your Own Guide To Everyday Skin Care

Your Own Guide To Everyday Skin Care

Skin is the largest and the most exposed organ of the human body. It is exposed to sunlight, chemicals, pollutants and micro-organisms resulting in sun burn, itching, allergy, dullness, acne and lots more. A bad looking or unhealthy skin not only drops down one’s confidence level but also gives a bad image. To get a radiant, glowing, flawless and disease free skin, adopt these steps in your everyday life.

    1) The CTM Routine:

It’s the cleansing, toning and moisturizing routine. It makes the skin look healthy and glowing and removes the dark patches.

Cleanser: A cleanser is something that deep cleanses the pores by opening them and also removes makeup. Choose a cleanser according to your skin types. A gel based cleanser is good for oily and combination skin. Dry skinned beauties can choose a cream or oil based cleanser.

Toner: Toner helps tighten the pores. According to me, it is the most important of all the three, although the rest two can’t be ignored as well. Toning makes your skin glow and adds life to it. It also prevents the formation of wrinkles in the long go. It helps in rejuvinating the skin. Choose the toner according to your skin type. Oily and combination skins mostly need a balancing toner whereas dry skin needs a hydrating toner.

Rose water, cucumber water and raw milk are good natural home-made toners which suit every skin type.

Moisturizer: A moisturizer helps keeping the skin hydrated, soft and supple. Oily and combination skins may prefer a gel based or oil-free moisturizer whereas dry skinned beauties need a more creamy and hydrating one to nourish their skin.

Go for a moisturizer with some SPF and sun protection to avoid tans and wrinkles.

Try an under-eye cream to reduce the dark circles and puffiness around eyes.

You can also try professional facials in parlors or at home to keep the glow and increase the blood circulation.

    2) A Healthy Diet:

Whatever you eat, shows off in your body. The better you eat, the better your body reacts to it. To keep your skin youthful and glowing eat lots of organic food. Go for less fat, less carbohydrates and a more protein rich diet. Add fruits, green leafy vegetables, fish, sprouts and pulses to your everyday routine. Avoid junk foods and ready to eat meals.

Drink lots of water. Water keeps you hydrated and also helps in removal of toxins from the body. Water is also known as ‘’natural healer’’.

    3) Exercise:

The list would have been really incomplete without exercise. Adopt for cardio, yoga, stretching, weight training or any form of exercise you love. You can also try your hands in some outdoor sports or walking, jogging or anything that suits your routine. Exercise at least 3-4 times a week.

   4) Meditation and sleep:

Meditation heals your mind. You stay calm and look fresh. It also helps in the realization of the inner self. Incense sticks, a photo of your guru, candles, a clean room, mats are some of the tools to assist meditation.

A good night’s sleep is a must to make you look fresh. Get at least 6-8 hours of undisturbed sleep.

Stay healthy and blessed. Keep glowing!
