Skin care - the easy way

We all know that it's important to consider our skin type while buying skin products (and not just blindly buy a product because an actress is advertising the product and saying it's done wonders for her skin! Your skin types might be completely different)

However, what's common across skin types is the type of care you need to take of it. Irrespective of whether you have dry skin, oily skin, combination skin or normal skin, it's important to follow this regular skin care routine at home:

Daily (Twice a day - morning and evening)
Cleanse
Tone
Moisturize
&
very importantly apply sunscreen while going out in the sun

Twice a week
Face scrub to exfoliate the skin

Once a week
Apply Face Pack for glowing skin

Home Remedies
Here's a face scrub and face pack which can easily be made at home:

Face scrub:
Mix lemon juice and sugar. Apply this mixture on the face and neck region avoiding the eyes. After 10 mins, gently massage your face and neck with your finger tips in circular motion and then wash your face with warm water.

Face pack:
Mix water melon juice and multani mithti. Apply the mixture on the face and neck region avoiding the eyes. After 10 mins, wash your face with warm water.


By the way, watermelon is great for the skin! It's rich in vitamin A, B and C which keeps the skin radiant and hydrated.
Watermelon juice is a natural toner and also helps in removing blemishes from the skin - just dip a cotton pad in the juice and apply it over your face and neck after cleansing. This will help your skin exfoliate and will also tighten it.
