Homemade Tips for Healthy Skin

Often, one can’t go to beauty salons or dermatologists regularly for intensive skincare treatments, in which case beauty tips for your face at home can help treat your skin professionally. Below mentioned are some of these tips,

1. Build A Natural Daily Skincare Routine

Face cleansers are often not the best for your skin. Start with a natural cleanser – perhaps a simple mix of Haldi and besan (1:10 proportion) to cleanse your face and tighten your skin. Instead of a moisturizer, a cold-pressed oil could be used to gently massage your face each morning. This not only prevents dryness but also acts as an anti-ageing agent.

2. Avoid DIY Hacks

The internet is full of recommendations for using lemon juice, baking soda, garlic, toothpaste, sugar and vitamin E oil etc. to treat common skin-related problems at home. However, neither does the internet know anything about your specific skin type nor are this advises always from reliable sources. Though natural, they may even cause damage to your skin in the long run due to improper usage. Thus, please either visit skincare experts or simply stay away from DIY hacks!

3. Eat A Healthy Diet

Eating a well-balanced diet with adequate green vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, vitamins & minerals will have a direct impact on skin health too. According to a few researchers, the most sought-after natural skincare tips include a diet rich in fish oil and low in unhealthy fats and processed or refined carbohydrates.

4. Manage Stress

If you are suffering from any kind of depression or anxiety, then it may affect your skin too. Bearing stress can trigger acne and other skin-related problems. A proper sleep routine accompanied by treatment advice from your medical practitioner is advisable.
