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.

Sun Tan

Few days back I went to a water amusement park and got tanned :(
Here are a few ways which I tried to get back my original skin.
  • As soon as I reached back home, I washed the tanned area with cold water.
  • Then used the scrub on the affected area. Few effective scrubs are Apricot Scrub and Papaya Scrub.
  • After washing off the scrub, apply Aleo Vera gel.
  • After an interval of 5-6 hours or next day, apply the Fuller's earth or Multani Mitti mixed in rose water.
  • Use sunscreen daily.
These things has helped me a lot. I hope it helps you as well.

First Post

"Beauty is the gift from God"- and we should strive to enhance the value of this gift and retain its worth. In this forum, we can discuss the ways to enhance the beauty. If a simple routine is followed everyday, your beauty will enhance with a multiplier effect.


As we live in a tropical country which has hot weather with ample exposure to sunlight, preventing our skin from tanning is of most importance. Following few tips can help:
  1. Use suncreen everyday without fail, even though you are not exposed to direct sunlight.
  2. Choosing the correct level of SPF is necessary. People living in desert and coastal areas need higher SPF (around 45) compared to people living on plains (arounf 25).
  3. Drink lot of water (4 litres a day)
