Skin Care – Quick Tips & Home Remedies For All Skin Types

Who doesn’t want flawless, spotless and glowing skin? The cosmetic industry today realises the extreme measures people are willing to take and the money they are willing to spend in order to achieve it. However, when it comes to skin care, sometimes just following basic tips and home remedies can be the answer.

Skin care tips 

• Conduct patch tests –  The skin over your face is more sensitive than the rest of the body. Hence, patch test any cosmetic product before you use it. Try under your chin area and leave about and an hour or so, to make sure there is no adverse reaction.
• Also, do remember that the skin on your face has different thickness at different sites- the skin under the eyes and around the lips are the most fragile. Care should be taken not to scrub hard over these areas. Spare them from applying a face mask.
• Cleanse, Tone & Moisturise –  It is necessary to keep your face clean and well hydrated as this is the part of the body which gets most exposed to the external environment. Wash preferably with cool water 4-5 times a day; optionally, a gentle face wash may be used. Choosing your face wash is also equally important, as the skin texture varies from person to person. Another important part is how you dry the face. A gentle tap with a clean, soft towel will be the best way to retain the softness and smoothness rather than rubbing a rough towel over it. Use a toner to balance out the pH of your skin and then moisturise well.
• Your skin reflects what you eat and drink –  Yes, I would say. Avoiding oily and spicy food helps to maintain a lustrous skin. Drinking at least 7-8 glasses of water will prevent dryness and keeps the skin hydrated.
