The constant use of compact for fairer and cleaner skin, loads of kohl and some lipstick, this is a common way to get ready for most Indian women. We have got so used to this routine that we do not realize when our skin starts to get dull and this habit of makeup becomes a necessity. Here is how to kick this addictive habit and get dewy fresh skin:
Water: All Indian women, especially the working ones, spend most of their time in air conditioned places this creates a havoc with the skin. Most women have dehydrated skin. Have some 10-12 glasses of water. It helps flush out toxins. Also keep a facial mist spray like Bodyshop Vitamin E mist or Fab India Bitter Orange facial mist at your workplace and squirt on your face every 2-3 hours.
No matter what, always clean your skin before sleeping. The dust, grime and makeup residue is a potent combination for skin allergies.
Sunscreen: The climate in India is very unpredictable but we sure do get out fill of the sun! Always apply sunscreen. Keep a stronger one for summers and a medium coverage one for winters. See sun screen as an investment for good skin in the future.
Facials: Get a facial once a month. It helps cleanse skin, get rid or dirt, improve blood circulation and delay wrinkles!
Pay attention to facial hair: A no makeup look with lots of hair on the face is a no-no. Get bleach done once every two months. Always keep your eyebrows in shape, upper and lower lip areas clean.
Elaborate hair: When you decide to remain make up free, your hair must look immaculate. Unkept hair with no makeup can look very shabby.
Use an eyelash curler to enhance eyes and some gloss to get nourished pink lips.
