The Essential To-do for Healthy Skin

We all love to look on point. A lot of it has to do with having a healthy and radiant skin.

The good news is that just about anyone can have great skin – all it requires is some time, and of course, lots of TLC!

All the secrets to flawless skin lie in following a good skincare, exercise and sleep routine, along with a nutritious diet. Here are a dozen tips that could make the world’s difference to your skin.

1. Always remove your makeup and let your skin breathe. Take your sweet time to do it. Follow up with a moisturising cream (even if you don’t have dry skin), as make up usually dries out your skin.
2. Put on a mask once a week. Most face masks target a specific problem, and with all of the different options, please be sure of the type you pick up for your skin.
3. Use vitamin C serums. These actually work wonders if you want youthful skin. They reduce fine lines/wrinkles around the face. Apply a small amount of it once or twice a day.
4. Avoid the sun if you want to avoid one of the biggest causes of visible ageing. Also, you should develop a habit of using a sunscreen.
5. Drink green tea (or drink green juice). Walk into a cosmetics store, and you’d find many products that have green tea as an ingredient. It has a good number of benefits for the skin. Drink a cup or two daily.

6. Exfoliate once a week. Please do not miss this. Exfoliation can benefit every skin type. I love how this Cosmopolitan article describes it. “It’s like sanding a wall before you paint”.
7. Go for facials once a month. It’s a 360 degrees skincare process. Not to mention the facial massage is also a great stress reliever.
8. Don’t pick or touch your face. Most do this unknowingly. My advice – please be conscious.
9. Avoid processed foods, and replace refined, sugary foods with natural foods like fruits and veggies rich in Omega -3 fatty acids, zinc, vitamin C, and proteins. Take probiotics as well.

10. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water during the day. Avoid drinking too much water in the night.
11. Exercise regularly. Work up a good sweat. It helps with blood circulation which your skin needs.

12. Get an 8-hour beauty sleep. There’s not greater stress buster than a good sleep, and a relaxed mind and body are very important for healthy skin.
