REFRESH YOUR LOOK ONCE A WEEK

                  To keep your face looking as youthful as possible, you need proper skin care. For this

once a week facial is must. The purpose of a facial is to improve circulation, deep-cleanse, smooth and moisturize the skin. A complete facial includes a cleansing, steam, exfoliation,blackhead removal, mask, toner and moisturizer.  
                               How you care for your skin is utterly dependent on the type of skin you have : oily, normal / combination, dry sensitive.




THE BASIC 7-STEP SKINCARE REGIMEN :-   

STEP 1 :- 

         Cleanser remove make-up and impurities from the surface of the skin. It clean your skin hydrate, leave

a radiant, silky and healthy complexion. Take a small amount of cleanser which suits your skin, apply it over your entire face and neck massage it gently for 1 minute in a circular motion. Then rinse your face with water, followed by a refreshing toner.
                    It soften and remove dead skin cells, which allows more effective absorption of other skin care products.

STEP 2 :-

         Exfoliation makes skin smooth and regular use of this removes the build-up of the hard keratin layer and allows better absorption of other skin care products. Take a small amount of it on your palm apply evenly on your face and gently scrub it on your skin until it dries. Leave it for 5 to 10 minutes and then rinse your face.
         In one of my earlier post I have already mentioned about natural dry fruits scrub, so you can use that also its one of my best formulation.It really nourishes our skin and its not harsh like those ready made scrubs.

STEP 3 :-

      Steaming the facial skin is a wonderful way to open the skin pores and remove the dirt. If you have one of those home steamers, then its great, but if you don't have then just just fill a medium container with hot water, place your face over it and cover up with a towel for 5 to 10 minutes. Try to cover properly so steam won't escape. Be careful to avoid hot water burns. This procedure opens up your pores for the next step.

STEP 4 :-

        After taking steam skin becomes soft, so it becomes easy to remove blackheads. Gently remove blackheads if you have but don't just squeeze them! You can use either a blackhead extractor or one of those nose strips that you stick on your nose and wait for 10 to 15 minutes, then peel off.

STEP 5 :-

       Face mask, after all these steps use face mask according to your skin or requirements like for glow, fairness, nourishment etc. If you want to go for home made face mask you can visit my previous posts. I have covered most of all face masks for different type of skin, functions, treatments.

STEP 6 :- 

       Toners refresh and balance the skin pH. Apply toner over entire cleansed skin with a help of cotton boll and leave on. Use toner twice a day after cleansing or mask to refresh your skin. Finish with serum and moisturizer.


STEP 7 :-

      Moisturizers hydrate and soften skin. Even oily skin needs a light moisturizer to maintain softness and suppleness. So use moisturizer according to your skin type.

  

NIGHT Skin Care

             We know it's easy to follow morning skin care routine, but when it comes to the end of the day we are too tired to look after our skin. But the problem with that is our skin is carrying pollution,

make up, oil and germs. So its as important as Day skin care. 
                                   The benefits of a Night skin care routine include improving skin tone and color , reduce skin blemishes , hydrating and rejuvenating the skin. It allows the skin to breath, heal and restore to a healthy young glow.

              So when ever you are finally done with your work follow these steps in your routine life -


STEP 1 -  

            First thing to do before going to bed is wash your face with an no alcohol cleanser. They are very important as they help remove excess oil and impurities.
                   As we all know one should wash his/her face minimum three times a day.

STEP 2 -

           Toning is one of the most important step. Because it tones our skin and improve skin elasticity.

 STEP 3 -

           Back in some time night creams were not so popular but now-a-days they are. So if you have dark  and leave it.

circles problem or puffiness use it. Take a drop of cream on your ring fingers and massage it in between fingers then gently pat under your eye area. Give it a gentle 10 seconds massage
                        Because there are no oil glands around the eye, using eye cream on the skin around eye restore the skin and reduce puffiness and dark circles.

  STEP 4 -

           If your skin is feeling on the dry side, apply a thin layer of light oil-free Moisturizing Gel before going to bed. If however, my skin feels comfortable or a bit oily that day, I will skip this step.

   STEP 5 -

           Gently wash your lips with warm on a soft cloth. This will remove any dry and dead skin. Apply a lip balm to soften and heal chapped lips.

       And when it comes to sleep be sure to change your pillow covers on a regular basis, as dirt trapped in fabric can cause irritation and breakouts. 


                                            AS NEEDED :- 

• If you have any acne spots and use a acne clearing cream on affected area so you can use it after all the above steps.  
• If you want you can use natural face mask on daily basis to keep your skin health

            1. FOR DRY SKIN :- 

                         Aloe Vera juice 5 drops

                         Almond oil 2 drops 

               Mix both the ingredients together apply this paste on your face. Leave it for 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water.

            2 FOR OILY SKIN -

                           Aloe Vera juice 5 drops

                           Orange oil 1 drop

                 Mix all the ingredients together apply this paste on your face. Leave it for 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water.

                           

My DAY Skin Care Routine

                  This is not a vanity; its a basic fundamental maintenance for our skin. As we all know we are so used to wearing makeup, we live in a sunny country, we take hot showers, work in air

 conditioning and sit in front of heaters. All these activities harm our skin daily, so we need to recover back what is damaged, and clean off what has been pushed into the skin, to calm down the ageing process.  
                              One should drink lots of water but don't just gulp it drink slowly, eat healthy diet, exercise and be happy. When my skin is at it's best, it's because i am treating it nicely, remembering to exfoliate it after a long day of applying make up many times etc.

               Skin care is very personal - there are so many products launching every month and lots of them are really worth buying. But we just cant buy all of them and narrowing down to one product can be difficult but the only way to find out if a product works on you, is to try it yourself remember take your time and listen to your skin. 


                             MORNING SKIN CARE :- 


STEP 1 -  
            First thing I do in the morning is wash my face with an anti-oxidant cleanser. They are very important as they help remove excess oil and impurities.

• Here I am mentioning some home made cleansers, which you can put to use and as you already know they are without any negative effects.

        1. FOR DRY SKIN :-

                                Aloe Vera juice      1 tbsp 

                                Lemon juice            2 drops 

                                Almond oil              2 drops   

         Mix all these ingredients and use this gel as we use cleanser. Wash your face with lukewarm water.

        2. FOR OILY SKIN :-

                                Aloe Vera juice    1 tbsp 

                                Rose oil                2 drops 

                                Almond oil            4 drops   

          Mix all these ingredients and use this gel as we use cleanser. Wash your face with lukewarm water.

STEP 2 -
           For me, toning is one of the most important step. I apply a toner as soon as I get out of my shower, because I feel it effects more when the pores are open.

STEP 3 -
           If my skin is feeling on the dry side, I will apply a thin layer of Moisturizing Gel. If however, my skin feels comfortable or a bit oily that day, I will skip this step.
                     
STEP 4 -   
           In recent years Eye care has become one of my top priorities and i rotate many eye creams. Some of them, I prefer to use at day and some specially for the night.
                                 I apply my eye cream, while the toner on my is drying. I massage my eye product in between my ring fingers and gently pat onto my under eye area. Then i give it a gentle 10 seconds massage.

STEP 5 -
        Lastly, if you want to apply make-up you can now otherwise you can just leave the house with sunscreen to protect your skin from sun damage.



                            EVENING SKIN CARE :-

STEP 1 -
          Always do remember, when ever you are back from work first remove your eye makeup with eye

makeup remover. It should be non-irritating and easily gets rid of even waterproof makeup.

STEP 2 -
           Then I remove the rest of my face makeup using face makeup remover. Use a gentle makeup remover,which don't leave any sort of residue behind.   

STEP 3 -
           Lastly, wash your face with your favorite cleanser.

• You can use some home made face wash.

      1. FOR DRY SKIN :-

  

                             Gram flour     1 tbsp

                             Rose oil         2-4 drops

EYE BAGS

                            Eye bags also known as puffy eyes or swelling around the eyes.  As i have already written that skin around the eyelids is the thinnest skin in the body, because of which its too sensitive,  

so it's this area that is most influenced by the flow of fluid . Seasonal allergies, cold and sinus infection are some of the things that can lead to water building up under the eye. Eye bag problem is not included in diseases but it comes under most important part of our life so the earlier you pay attention to it, the better, because after a few years bags under the eye can became permanent if not taken care of. 
                          While some degree of puffiness may be normal for some individuals, factor such as fatigue and age may make the swelling more prominent.

EYE PUFFINESS MAY CAUSED BY :-

• ALLERGIES - Allergic reactions can lead to leaks under skin capillary beds which can lead swelling on the face, including around the eyes. 
• OVERSLEEPING - Disturbed sleep cycles are common cause of eye puffiness. When sleeping, use a pillow to make sure that you sleep with your head slightly raised above the rest of your body. This helps to keep fluid from collecting in your face.
• DIET - A dinner heavy with salty food encourages fluid retention and may lead to puffy eyes.
• FLUID RETENTION - Various conditions can lead to the retention of fluid, particularly under the skin. These conditions like pregnancy and hormonal imbalance can cause swelling around the eyes.
• TOBACCO AND ALCOHOL USE -  Tobacco and alcohol contain toxins that may lead to stress, hormonal changes and fatigue, all of which may lead to fluid retention and swelling around the eyes.
• SKIN DISORDERS - Eye puffiness can be a side effect of some skin disorders.
• CRYING - The salt in tears may cause fluid retention in the eye area.
• AGING - As a person grows older, skin around the eyes becomes thinner and may swell or droop.

EYE CARE :-

1) Use Of Turmeric And Indian Lilac (neem) Oil For Eye Bags  -

                           1/4th tbsp turmeric powder
                            2 drops of Indian lilac (neem) oil
                            2 tbsp rose water
                            2 sterile cotton pads

• Mix all the above ingredients.
• Then soak both the cotton pads in it.
• Place them on your eyes for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Rinse your face with lukewarm water. 

2) Use Of Rose Water For Soothing Effect -

                                       2 sterile cotton pads
                                       Rose water

• Dip both cotton pads in rose water.
• Place them on your eyes for 10 to 15 minutes

3) Use Of Milk And Rose Oil For Nourishing Eye -

                                       2 sterile cotton pads

                                       1 drop rose oil

DARK CIRCLES

                       Its the dark pigmentation around the eyes. There are many reasons of dark circles, including heredity, tension and bruising. As the skin around the eyelids is the thinnest skin in the

body, so its too sensitive and easily gets harmed. The most common reasons of getting dark circles are lack of nutrients in the diet or can say lack of balanced diet, tension, lack of sleep, stress and deficiency of iron in body.
                                    We can minimize dark circles by following these simple steps -

1) NUTRITION - 
                             Proper nutrition is the most important and easiest way to prevent dark circles. One should have a diet rich in iron and multi-vitamins like green leafy vegetable, dates, pomegranate, jaggery, pulses etc.

2) BEAUTY SLEEP -
                                  As they say, adequate sleep is a beautifying thing. It prevents dark circles and sallow skin. So, having a regular routine and adequate 6 to 7 hours sleep is a must.

3) AVOID STRESS -   
                                 Tension saps all our energy and in a similar way saps the glow of our face and produces dark circles. I know its never possible to have a tension free life but try avoiding unnecessary stress.

4) FACE MASKS -

     a) USE OF LEMON AND KOKAM OIL -     
   
                                          1/4th tbsp lemon juice

COCOA BEANS (chocolate)

     Theobroma cacoa, the scientific name of the plant from which

raw cocoa is made and the main ingredient in chocolate , literally means " food of the God" .  Basically chocolate is made up of  Cocoa beans. 

                                            So friends here i am going write about the properties and uses of cocoa bean powder. Basically Cocoa powder is the one used to make face masks but its called chocolate face mask every where because chocolate mask sounds much more appealing. We can't use chocolate in masks because they contains relatively low levels of cocoa compared to high calorie, high fat ingredients such as sugar, dairy, artificial flavors and additives instead of doing anything good they will harm your skin.

                   Chocolate which  you use in mask should contain maximum amount of cocoa in it and very less amount of sugar and other ingredients. Some people even use dark chocolates but instead of using any type of chocolate one should prefer unsweetened COCOA  BEAN  POWDER. Which u can easily  get from market.
