Daily Skin Care

today, everyone is busy running after career and success and have no time to take care of the skin. Here a few things that can be fitted into our daily routine and the skin problems can be prevented.
1. Start the day with two glasses of water after an exercise of 20-30 mins. This helps in increasing air circulation of the skin and moisturizes the skin from within.
2. While taking bath, use the facewash on face and neck. Facewash should be selected based on the skin type.
3. After bath, use the moisturizer on face and neck. Typical moisturizer should be of same brand as facewash. For saving time, moisturizer can be mixed with sunscreen and toner and then applied. If toner is not available then rose water will also do.
4. At night, clean the face with rose water and then apply some night cream or aleo vera gel or lacto calamine or turmeric cream.
5. Take proper sleep.
6. Include fruits and salads in the diet.

Sleep Well

GO BY THE HOUR: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day-both on weekdays and weekends.

MAKE A RITUAL: Come up with a daily ritual before sleep-reading a book, listening to soothing music, drinking a cup of warm milk. The body recognises sleep cues.

DRESS WELL: Be careful what you wear to bed. Natural fabrics, such as cotton, allows your body to breatheand sleep better.

CALM DOWN: No tv, no tea or coffee a few hours before sleep. Brain stimulants can keep one from sleeping. Try meditation.

DARK MATTERS: Make your bedroom as dark as possible. Also make sure there is no noise to distract you.
