Sunscreen is your must-have shield to protect the skin, through all seasons and for good reasons. Ultraviolet rays not only change your complexion forever making it look dull but are also carcinogenic and make skin age faster. Choose a good quality sunscreen with SPF 30 or above and apply it generously on the face, neck, hands, legs and feet to build a barrier which can block ultraviolet rays and prevent them from unleashing all that damage on the skin.

Sounds interesting right? If you were ever told that what you eat, reflects on your face – this is what they were talking about. Medical experts say that many skin conditions like a sudden breakout of acne, psoriasis and eczema are a result of poor dietary habits like consumption of excess fat or too much junk. If you are experiencing allergic skin reactions or other dermatological issues, right after eating processed foods, white sugars and high on gluten stuff, stop it right away. Allow the good bacteria to grow in your gut if you want healthy, beautiful skin.

For many of us, a facial is often a quick fix before going to a party or a wedding. Facials are an amazing way to trigger a good amount of blood circulation, retain moisturise, regenerate new skin cells and maintain skin health. Go for a facial that suits you best at least once a month and ensure to get a nice massage for a super glowing look.

Not all fats are bad as there are many good ones too. Traditional wisdom suggests including coconut, groundnut, nuts and flaxseeds in our daily diet to derive the benefits of good fats to glow from within. These fats aid in building stronger cell membranes and decrease the occurrence of skin dryness. Similarly, opt for flavonoid-rich foods like citrus fruits and legumes or use beauty products like facial creams, gels or facials masks that are derived from these plant-based sources to combat hyperpigmentation, promote collagen production and lighten complexion.

Using a face mask is not a cumbersome job anymore. Thanks to beauty innovations, thin, sheet-like face masks soaked in the natural goodness of various plant-based products like rose water, honey, orange peel, and lavender are readily available in the market. Pick up the right face mask for your skin type that comes with lots of hydration, vitamin E, and other major components, and make it a habit to use it once a week to maintain that ravishing look.

For external hydration, apply an intense moisturizer during the day and follow a night CTM routine. This should take care of the skin’s hydration 

Exfoliate Weekly 

Mild exfoliation is essential to eliminate impurities that may clog your pores. Use it gently to ensure that the skin does not get ripped of its essential oils and that the layer of grim goes away.
