Tips for Maintaining Your Skin to Look Flawless

Now-a-days many people face a lot of problems with skin diseases. To protect your skin from diseases you need to follow proper skin care routine. However to help you better, here are a couple of things which might help you to maintain your skin:

Eat Healthy:

 Take balanced and healthy food like fruits, cereals, proteins and vegetables. Avoid  greasy and fried diet which increases weight; develops spots, pimples, wrinkles and so on. Don’t take oily food as it creates moisture on your face and face becomes oily.

Don’t Expose to Sunlight: 

If the sun light directly falls on your skin, it causes discoloration, wrinkles, age spots or freckles. Sunlight contains ultra-violet rays which are harmful to health. Use sunscreen lotions, sunglasses to protect yourself from the harmful rays.

Take More Water:

 Drink more water. Take about eight to ten glasses per day or more than five litres a day, this helps to removes dirt, and moisture on your skin. Don’t take caffeine products such as chocolates, tea and coffee. Taking lots of water keeps you hydrated and helps in the removal of stones from kidneys.

Sleep More:

Sleep for about six to seven hours a day. Try to sleep more in night times. Short naps help to refresh your mind and it is good to take them if possible in afternoon after lunch. Hence Spaniards’ are lively as they follow siesta. 

Quit Smoking:

People who smoke are short-tempered. Anger and stress go hand-in-hand. Try to be friendly, happy and cheerful. You can keep a lot of diseases at bay. So better stop smoking which affects your lungs.

Don’t go to Bed with Foundation:

This will block your pores and clog them. Your skin cannot breathe freely. Before going to bed wash your face with soap or remove the makeup with baby oil or cleansing cream.

Make Use of Glycerine Soaps:

If you want to wash your face many times in a day then make use of glycerine soaps as it keeps your skin dry. It cleans your skin which in turns gives you great look.

Regular Exercise:

 Exercise regularly to keep your body fit. This will increase your blood circulation and make you look trim, slim and beautiful.

Serum is another secret to flawless skin!

In one of my old blogs, I discussed about the secret in getting flawless skin is to cleanse your face properly everyday and night. Another secret is 'serum'! Serum has become more and more popular in last 2 years.

What is serum?

For those who don't know what serum is, it is a skin product that enhances the moisturizer. It comes in two types; a water based and an oil based. If you have oily skin you should use the water based serum and if you have dry skin you should choose an oil based serum. Serum is a vitamin packed, its enriched more than a moisturizer because of its concentration. 

You apply it on toned face (cleansed + toner) and then your moisturizer. You don't need to put too much, about a coin size will do or a little bit more if needed and spread it around your face

Since it gives you that extra hydration and really smooths your skin it can act as a primer too. Makes your make up look better and less cakey (wanting make-up to look less cakey also depends on the way you apply your foundation; its always good to put the foundation on the back of your hand first rather than directly on to your face. Use a sponge or brush, dab a bit of foundation and drag it a few times on your hand to make it thinner).

Talking about the serum being a primer the other day I saw that Max Factor has got a new foundation with serum in it. It even has sun block effect, SPF 15.

 It's only £12.99, to me that's not bad. Because a tube of serum can be £30+ sometimes, depending on the brand.

Apart from giving you silky skin, most serum has dark sport correcting effect, age repairing effect, gets rid of red spot or redness in the skin, etc.

So, if you haven't got your serum yet, go get one now. Your partner would be all over you, touching and kissing your face all the time. Lol!
