Dos and Don’ts for Beautiful Skin
The Golden Rule No.1
Do: Make sure you always remove your makeup before bed. The skin needs to breathe overnight, and makeup prevents that, as leaving it on overnight clogs the pores which may cause blemishes and/or blackheads. Just put some olive oil on a cotton pad and gently massage the oil onto your face to get rid of the makeup and dirt.
Don't: At least once or twice a week, exfoliate your skin to remove the layers of dead skin, sure to leave you with a healthier glow and brighter skin. You can also apply a paste of walnut in powder form with yogurt to exfoliate your skin, as the antioxidants present in walnuts help remove dirt and promote radiant skin.
2. Apply Sunscreen Everyday
Do: Apply sunscreen with SPF. Since a lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems, you have to protect your skin from the sun.
Don't: Skip the sunscreen, whether it's cloudy or cold outside – wear your sunscreen.
3. You are What You Eat
Do: Keep a note of what you put on your plate. Eat fresh fruits, greens, sufficient protein and vitamins. A diet rich in vitamin C and low in fats and sugar promotes radiant skin.
Don't: Eat spicy and fermented foods, salt, citrus fruits, fried food. Instead favour blander foods such as rice, oatmeal, and applesauce.
4. Sweat It Out
Do: Exercise regularly. Running, jogging and yoga will give your body the necessary blood circulation, and also accelerate the cleansing process of your entire body. You will notice a glow on your face after working out.
Don't: Skip skincare before and after a workout. Apply a toner to help minimize oil production before heading out. Exfoliate after, and then apply shea butter or olive oil to moisturize the skin.
5. Beauty Sleep
Do: Try to sleep at least eight hours every night. If you don't get enough sleep, your skin gets tired - it sags, and you get bags. So don't risk it. You can also apply honey on your face twice a week to naturally soothe and heal your skin.
6. Hydrate
Do: Hydrate yourself. Drink lots of water daily, at least eight glasses if not more. Also, eat fruits and vegetables that have a high-water content such as watermelon, cucumber, orange, strawberry, grapefruit, and cantaloupe.
Don't: Ignore rose water. It helps prevent and reduce eye puffiness in the morning, maintains pH balance and naturally hydrates your skin if you spritz it on during the day.
