TIPS FOR SKIN CARE

If you have the proper knowledge about your skin you can take its proper care and keep it free from problems. On the one hand, to keep the skin intact, healthy and glowing, we ought to take good diet to provide the vitamins required fey our skin; on the other hand, to deal with the harmful effects of atmosphere we have to take the help of external applications known as cosmetics. Cosmetics claim to do everything from ensuring safe tanning to reversing the ageing process.


Avoid too much of sweets, fried foods, alcohols and cakes because they cause blemishes and blotchiness on the skins surface.

Eat one seasonal fruit in the morning, preferably before eating anything else. Also eat vegetables, especially raw ones.

Drink at least 6 to 8 glasses of water everyday.

Avoid the sun. If you have to go out either cover your head with a chunni or take an umbrella. Also apply sunscreen lotion (refer page 8).

Avoid smoking, specially passive smoking, that is, inhaling the air polluted by somebody's smoking.

Use bathing oil to soften your skin. For making your own bathing oil take 1 cup each of palm, almond and olive oils and half cup of wheatgerrn oil. Mix them well and keep it in a bottle in the dark. Take a little of it and massage into the whole body before bathing or swimming.

• Try to keep your bathroom warm so that the increase in temperature
will encourage the skin pores to open. Bathrooms can be kept warm
by installing a heater at a place where it is out of the hazards of
causing electric shocks.
• Use a body brush to break down the more fleshy skin tissues of the
body.
• A bath brush and a pumice stone help to soften hard skin often found
on the feet, knees and elbows.
• Cleanse your skin, once in the morning and again in the evening
before going to sleep, with products suiting your skin type (refer page
12).
• Use face mask suiting your skin type (refer page 12) atleast once a
week.
• Massage your body (take someone's help) atleast once a month.
