Monsoon has finally arrived and, it's that time of the year when we struggle to keep our skin intact. And, if you suffer from a dull skin, you need to read the following tips by celebrity make-up artist Mouna Lall to get that glow back on your face.
1. When it's sunny, one must use a sunblock with at least SPF 20, every three hours to protect against the ultra violets rays. The block also creates a film on the skin, thus protecting it against dust and wind.
2. One must clean the skin with a nice face wash (according to skin type) at least thrice a day so that the dirt and grime do not clog your pores resulting in skin problems like black and white heads pimples etc.
3. One must hydrate the skin by having at least 2-3 litres of water or light liquids like less sugared lemon juice, lemonade and coconut water as the vitamin c in lemon works as an antioxidant and the minerals in coconut water provide a natural glow to the skin. Also, avoid oily and heavy food.
4. One can use some homemade face scrubs consisting of gram flour (began), granulated sugar, curd, dried orange peel mix and apply on the face. Keep it on for ten minutes and use some water to wet it. Thereafter, gently scrub the face in circular motion to exfoliate the skin.
5. Lastly, use a nice face pack made of multani mitti (fullers earth), sandalwood powder and a pinch of kaolin powder (available at any general store) mixed with rose water and apply on the face. Leave it on for ten minutes and it will tighten the pores and give a youthful look to your face.
6. Don't forget the CTM routine. Cleansing, toning and moisturizing are the three basics of a good skin. Ensure you moisturize your skin regularly. If you have oily zones, apply it on the places where the skin is dry. People with oily or mixed skin should definitely use a toner.
7. Using a hydrating and non-stripping cleanser is an excellent approach to maintaining your skin well-hydrated. Choosing a cleanser is the first step in skincare, so if you want to keep your skin hydrated, you should look for one that matches that goal. Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, and other moisturizing chemicals are included in our which also serves as a makeup remover.
8. Choose hydrating, water-based serums as a part of the skincare regime. They are lightweight, get easily absorbed and make up for great moisturizers for oily skin as well! Make sure to pick a serum that only has hydrating ingredients and not any actives.
9. Getting rid of the dead skin cells will allow the healthy skin underneath to breathe and receive the benefits of the products. Chemical exfoliation from time to time eliminates the dead skin so that product absorption is better and the skin stays more hydrated.
10. Hot showers feel lovely but they are notorious for leaving your skin dehydrated. So how do you enjoy your hot showers without damaging your skin? Avoid taking hot showers for too long and keep the temperature of the water moderate
