Skin care
• Lemon juice works well for reducing scars and making them lighter.
• Make sure you are getting a lot of vitamins, and eating healthy foods.
Water is really effective too for skin.
• Make sure you drink a lot of water so your skin won’t look dry.
• Vitamins are essential for healthy skin, especially vitamins A, B,and C.
Vitamin E helps to improve the complexion when applied externally.
• Washing your face with mild soap during the day cleans your skin
from the dirt that causes black heads and pimples, although washing
a lot may cause dryness. Note that you should visit a dermatologist to
check your face if mild soap can be applicable to your skin.
• Never pick at a blemish. Many poor results come of picking at
breakouts, such as scarring, infection, or permanent enlargement of
the pore. You are also more likely to get another breakout in the same
place over time.
• Clean your mobile and any other device that may come in contact with
your skin.
• Make sure to clean your face daily for oily skin. If after using facial
cleanser and it feels tight, then you’re using something too strong.
• Change the applicators and clean the brushes you use to apply makeup
on a consistent basis. Bacteria and oils can build up in these places
and then be spread back on the skin each time make-up is applied.
• Never coat your entire face in foundation. Chances are, you only need
a little bit in areas you are most self-conscious in.
• Oil blotting sheets can help absorb oil through the day so you are not
tempted to re-apply powder or foundation, or over wash your face.
• If you’re sunburned, apply some plain yogurt mixed with aloe vera
gel on your skin. That will smooth the irritated skin.
• Washing your face with a mixture of brown sugar and a few drops of
milk (enough to form a mud-like consistency) washes away dirt and
excess oil, leaving your skin feeling smooth and refreshed. This scrub
can be left on your face for as long as you like.
• Never go to bed while wearing makeup. Clean it with wipes or just
wash your face with water.
• Do not try chemical products unnecessarily because they can be
harmful.
• Use homemade masks to moisturise your skin. They’re easy to make,
and they really work! For instance, a mixture of grapes, lemon and
egg white is very helpful for oily skin and honey promotes the healing
of ulcers and burns. Fresh herbs ground into a paste and applied to
problem skin may also help reduce skin problems.
• Wash your pillowcase often and avoid wearing hair products to bed.
The combination of hair products and facial oils on the pillowcase can
cause blemishes.
• If your skin gets a little stressed though e.g. due to plenty of sun, try
Aloe Vera Gel with at least 90% pure aloe barbadensis leaf juice in it.
Aloe vera is known for healing properties and can do wonders for the
skin.
