Ways to youthful-looking skin
THERE are ways to have lovely skin. Check out these tips to achieve that.
Don’t scrub too much
Facial scrubs are designed to remove dead skin cells, revealing youthful cells underneath. As skin is quite delicate, deep cleanse too often will run the risk of damaging it.
Wear sunscreen every day
We live in such a hot country that even indirect sunlight as you scurry about in the shade is rather strong. So to avoid sunburn, always use sunscreen.
Buy a ripe avocado
Cut it in half and apply all over the face. This rich moisturising mask is also loaded with vitamin E.
Cut stress from your life Nobody knows why but stress and pimples seem to go together.
Some scientists think stress causes the body to produce extra sebum, an oily substance that attracts bacteria and clogs hair follicles, leading to pimples.
Have a cup of green tea
This herb has an anti-inflammatory effect that appears to help the body fight off sun damage.
Eat food that is rich in beta-carotene
When you eat food rich in beta-carotene, the body converts it into vitamin A that’s important for healthy skin.
Rich sources include carrots, pumpkin, spinach, sweet potatoes, broccoli and cantaloupe.
Always remove your make-up at night
When you clean your face at night, your skin has a chance to recharge and recover. Leaving everything on means clogged pores which can lead to skin damage.
When you clean your face, dab on cleansing lotion and let it sit for a few minutes.
Then very gently wash it off with lukewarm water. Pat dry and apply a moisturiser.
