After spending endless amount of money
on cosmetics and salon treatments, Are you still in search for the fountain of
youth? Well, you will be surprised to know, that how certain habits, that
might seem harmless otherwise, are ruining your skin. So, here are the 12
things that you do need to keep in mind to keep your skin young and beautiful,
always!
You are what you eat:
Yes, it is
true that what you eat reflects on your skin as well. So, if you do not want
oily and greasy skin then refrain from eating junk and oily food. For a
youthful skin maintain a healthy and balanced diet.
Bleaching cautions:
If you do not
have the time to bleach your skin at home, do visit the salon by all means, but
be careful of what bleach they are using. The professionals at salons ask you
to choose from all sorts of fancy names, and yet end up pushing the brand that
they have bought in bulk. So, be careful!
Keep a soft towel handy:
Always dab
your gorgeous skin instead of rubbing with a soft and clean towel. Even if you
use skin wipes to wipe the sweat beads of your face and neck, be very gentle.
You perspire through skin pores that are better left unprovoked. So, it is best
to keep a clean and soft towel with you, especially while working out.
Use sunscreen on cloudy days too:
A day of
overcast is no reason for you to ditch your sunscreen. The sunscreen protects
you from ultraviolet (UVA and UVB) rays that are present during all daylight
hours. So, even if the sun is playing hide and seek, your skin is still exposed
to the wrath of harmful rays.
Soak in some vitamin D:
Sun is a
natural source of vitamin D, which is essential for the body indeed. Do your
skin a favor by taking some walk during the early hours of the morning. Early
morning, the sun is beautiful and bountiful, rather than scorching red.
Say no to smoking:
‘Out of
sight, out of mind’ could probably go for the damages smoking does to your
internal organs that you cannot see early in your life. But not when it takes a
toll on your skin. Smoking leads to premature ageing and skin wrinkles, puffy
eyes, skin infections and even skin cancer.
Remove your makeup before going to bed:
Always allow
your skin breathe in comfort. Wearing makeup to bed can leave your skin
dehydrated. This will lead your skin to produce oil to moisturize itself,
making you wake up to an oily skin. So, if you don’t sleep in your party wear
then why leave the makeup on.
Don't volunteer for free makeup at
kiosks:
Well, we know
it is very hard to turn a blind eye to those calls of free makeup touch-ups and
instant makeovers, but watch your steps! You do not want to trust a bunch of
marketing students trying to smooth talk you to complete their target at the
cost of your skin. New and untested products can be very harmful for your skin.
All fabrics are not for you:
If an
expensive fabric does not feel good on your skin then no need to get bulldozed
into wearing it. All fabrics are not skin-friendly. It is always advisable to
give your new clothes a good wash before wearing them.
Skin packs and scrubs:
If you have
just used a scrub or a pack on you face, then you should not go out in the
sunlight immediately. So, it is advisable to apply some cream or lotion on your
skin after using a scrub or a pack.
Now, keep away from the habits that can cause harm to your soft and supple skin. Just follow these simple things to keep your skin young and smiling, forever!
