Sometimes dull complexion won’t go away overnight
even if you try to layer on multiple skincare products.
So let’s find out how to keep your skin hydrated
and increase its moisture levels.
We all know that sunscreen application is non-negotiable
when we step out of the house.
But there’s a common misconception
that you don’t need to wear sunscreen indoors.
Our windows do not block the UVB rays
from penetrating our skin.
The sun’s rays damage skin cells
that boost collagen production
which makes our skin look dull, lifeless and pigmented.
So yes, wearing sunscreen when you are home
is very important.
When the weather is hot outside,
our skin too bears the brunt of it
leading to skin redness and rashes.
The perfect remedy to keep your skin in its best condition
is aloe vera.
It not only tends to sensitive skin
but also promotes skin hydration.
Just rub some aloe vera gel over it
to restore skin’s moisture levels.
A facial mist is hydrating, nourishing
and adds a certain amount of freshness to your face.
So here’s how you can quickly make one.
Cut up a small cucumber and blend it.
Take the cucumber mush
and place it into a cheesecloth.
Squeeze all its juice in the bowl beneath it
and then add a tsp of aloe vera gel into the bowl
and ⅓ rd cup of distilled water.
Pour this mixture into a spray bottle
and your handy moisture booster is ready.
Lack of your daily dose of water intake
dehydrates the body which in turn makes our skin look
dull, lifeless and lack lustre.
So, in addition to drinking normal water,
you can make it a little more interesting
by adding some flavour to it.
Add 10-12 pieces of watermelon to a jar of water.
Top it up with a handful of basil leaves and stir it well.
There you go,
your very own version of detox water
to keep your skin looking radiant and glowing.
Coconut water is another way you can
restore your skin’s hydration inside out.
Not only does it hydrate your skin
but is also rich in anti-ageing properties
and has the ability to ward off acne.
Nothing gives quicker results
than treating your skin internally.
To keep your skin radiant all the time,
what you need to feed it is a dose of omega 3 fatty acids.
Walnuts, flaxseeds, soybean and fish
are rich sources of this fatty acid.
Water rich foods such as oranges,
strawberries, mangoes, watermelons
and cucumbers are supplements of water
and rich in vitamins and antioxidants
that help keep the harmful radicals at bay.
Consumption of yogurt will brighten the skin
and will also keep it hydrated.
Stay away from dark coloured clothes
as well as synthetic fabrics such as rayon and polyester.
These materials will not only leave you with a rash or prickly heat
but will also make you sweat more,
leading to loss of water from the body.
So switch to breezier fabrics such as cotton and linen
as they will allow your skin to breathe.
So make sure you follow these tips
to keep your skin hydrated, smooth and healthy.
That’s a wrap and until next time,
stay tuned and stay Glamrs.
