GLOWING SKIN

SKIN CARE

Do you remember when you were a child and your skin had that natural glow? Even as a teenager, skipping the pimple phase, you had beautiful skin. Then when you turned older you looked in the mirror one day and asked yourself, what happened to my glowing skin?
What happened to that glowing skin is it's not naturally glowing anymore: it needs your help. You are at the age where you have to make some type of effort to get and keep that glow. If we were smart, we would start taking care of our skin much sooner, but most of us don't. We wait until we wake up one day and realize we don't look like that child or teenager anymore.
The most famous remedy for glowing skin is "water". It is boon to mankind from Mother nature.Water has detoxifying properties which helps the cleaning of the skin. So drink as much water as you can...

Some more ways by which you can achieve the glowing skin :-

• Mix oats with honey, yogurt and ground almonds. Apply this in your face, leave it for five minutes and wash with lukewarm water
• Cucumber is a natural cleanser. Mix cucumber juice with milk and use it instead of a cleanser
• Mix half-a-cup honey to your bath water for soft and smooth skin
• Carrot juice applied daily fades blemishes.
• Apply honey on your face and neck for 20 minutes. Wash it with cold water. Your skin will glow and become soft and smooth.
• Mash a banana with milk and apply on face and leave it for 20 minutes. Wash it with cold water to get a skin that will glow

Some important things to remember -

1. After every shower apply moisturiser, else your skin will become dry and this gives an open invitation to wrinkles.
2. However tired you are do not forget to remove your make-up before going to bed.
3. Apply an eye-gel every night.
4. Try to get a sound sleep , else your stress can harm your skin.
