For a clean and glowing skin

Clear skin and a glowing complexion are a sign of good health but during the monsoon, when humidity touches its peak, it needs intensive care. And for this avoid smoking and drink more liquids for radiant skin.

One can keep skin healthy and glowing for years to come by following these natural tips:

n Pump it up with the liquids - Hydrated skin glows and radiates happiness. Drinking plenty of water also helps in keeping your skin looking younger. Have honey lime water in the morning.

n Sip some tea - Green tea is packed with natural antioxidants, which helps in delaying the ageing process. Avoid the temptation for coffee and aerated drinks. Limiting the intake of caffeine, alcohol and aerated drinks will keep the skin hydrated.

n No smoking- Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients that are important to skin health.

n Treat your skin gently - We should be gentle with our skin. Limit your bath or shower time, and use warm, rather than hot water. Deodorant body soaps and anti-bacterial soaps should be avoided for regular use. Strong soaps and detergents can strip oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers.

n Cleanse and moisturise -Cleansing helps in removing residual elements on the skin to make its pores open and breathing. Regular cleaning makes your face fresh and clean. Moisturising your skin will keep it looking radiant and glowing throughout the day.
