Ways to look after the Skin-

There are some do’s and don’ts when it comes to skin care. Applying expensive products without any prior knowledge might adversely affect the skin. Here’s how to take care of skin given-

• Prepare a skin care routine

No matter how many fancy products you use for your skin, if you do not prepare and follow the routine that particularly suits you, it’s almost impossible to achieve any lasting improvement. So there should be a specific morning and night skincare routine. Do clean your face and then apply toner, moisturizer regularly before going to bed or after showering. Sunscreen is a must when stepping outside the home.

• Use quality ingredients

Products, whether the natural ones or the ones bought from the market, should suit your skin. An expensive product doesn’t always mean that it would be the best for your particular skin type. Also, do not run after cheap, low-quality products while trying to save your money. Learn as much as you can about the ingredients before buying.

• Try to know your skin type

Every skin demands care best suited for its type. The treatment for dry skin is different from that of oily skin. So know your skin type before using any product. Choose the one that is suitable for your skin.

• Moisturize your skin

Moisturizer is a must in your everyday skin care if you want to get supple skin.  Our skin dries out and cracks due to the use of hot water, low humidity levels outside, and elemental damage. Moisturizer smoothens the skin, balances skin’s complexion and prevents acne breakouts.

• Stay hydrated

Dehydration causes our skin to look dull and it also dries our skin. It is accelerated in cold weather mostly. Stay hydrated by drinking a required amount of water to keep your skin healthy.

Our diet plays an important role when it comes to hair. Our hair needs protein, so it’s important to focus on protein and iron-rich foods such as eggs, fish, meat, and nuts to strengthen hair growth.  Adopt a healthy food habit instead of consuming junk foods.

• Use appropriate shampoo –

It is important to use a shampoo that is designed for your hair type. Those who suffer from hair loss can use baby shampoos since they do not contain strong chemicals that can harm the scalp or hair.
