- by HAFSAH ABUBAKAR MATAZU

As the end of the year comes closer and the festivitie­s draw nearer, it’s important you start working on achieving a flawless skin before the time comes. Utilising the time left and not waiting until close tothe festivitie­s will help you to achieve your desired results and more. Here are a few steps for you to observe ahead of time for the perfection.

Drink up: Yes, water once again; something that has been emphasized over and over again. Staying hydrated will keep your skin plump and fresh. Isn’t that what you really want?

Sunscreen: If you haven’t already made a habit of using sunscreen on a daily basis, it’s best you do so now. Using sunscreen can make so much of a difference. The effects that harsh sunrays have on the collagen of your skin are quite bad. It also works as an amazing primer, so win-win.

Nighttime routine: Sticking to your nighttime skincare regimen is crucial if you want a perfect skin by the time the festivitie­s come around. So, cleanse, exfoliate, tone and moisturise ever night before you go to bed.

Green smoothies: If you want to glow on the outside you need to stay healthy on the inside. Green smoothies are the perfect choice for that because it is packed with all the vitamins and antioxidan­ts your skin needs.

Wax it off: The key to a smooth skin is an effective waxing session. Not only does it pull away the hairs, it also pulls away the dead skin as well, leaving a new and flawless layer of the skin.
