Hello Sweeties !!! 
Welcome again here.How are you doing ???? Hope you are enjoying summers.Yes,some of us don't like this season but according to me every season has its own charm.Now, think how would be if there will be only winters no summers and no rainy season.Or,what we feel if there will be only rains ??? Think think...
I like every season because it is not boring.Ofcourse,some care is needed to be fit and healthy in every season.Our skin also needs special care.

So,today we will discuss about tips to get beautiful gorgeous fairer younger looking skin.

One thing I want to mention here I am not a racist and I feel every skin is beautiful.Yet,people always ask about it that's why I am sharing here.We are living in a world where fair skin is still a preference for marriage and epitome of beauty.
But for me this is not so.Respect every skin.

So let's begin..

For healthy,supple,soft skin certain steps are necessary.Cleansing,exfoliating,massaging and using natural face packs.Daily cleanup and routine facials are helpful in maintaining health and beauty of facial skin.

                BASIC   STEPS   OF   FACIAL          

 1). CLEANSING :- Always cleanse your face daily to get any dirt,dust and make up out.Always clean your face before going to bed.I personally use very less makeup.But removing of makeup is very important.Make up has chemicals in it.Specially in night our skin repairs so it is important to take out makeup.You can use mild gentle cleanser for it.Many are available at beauty stores and online too. A cleanser is applied to your damp face and starting at the base of the throat in upward direction and spreading the cleanser. Then in a similar fashion the cleanser will be wiped away with a cotton pad. This will remove the oil, grime and makeup.

Daily clean up or few in a week is required to make skin refreshed and rejuvenated.You can go for facial too.Now,let me tell you here there is difference between Clean up and facial.Clean up is, you can say a short form of facial.It consists of cleansing,exfoliating and face pack.
But in facial cleansing,exfoliating,steaming,massaging and face pack is applied.Bleaching is also a part of it however,you can exclude it.Remember bleaching is not so good for your skin hence,always use it only in special occasions, events or in marriage.
Back to our steps

2). STEAMING :- Steam is very beneficial for the skin as it takes out all the dust and dirt by opening the pores.However,you can skip it.But , it should be done once or twice in a month.Simply boil some water and when vapors start coming out of it,you can off the burner and cover your face with some towel to avoid air.Keep your face over the steam (container).When you feel uncomfortable keep it away.Repeat it for few minutes (10min.atleast).Now,wipe your face gently.
The reason for covering is that first you need steam on your face and it avoids escaping of steam out.Second thing is that it is a warm effect.When outer air comes in without restriction,it is cool.This causes an imbalance and your skin feels it hard to adjust.This can cause skin problems. A weekly heat treatment suits most skin types, though once a month is enough for dry and mature skins. Damp heat opens the pores, encourages sweat to flush out ingrained dirt and brings oxygen-rich blood to renew the skin. You may choose to put oil on your skin first, since the heat helps oil penetrate more deeply. But don't leave cleansing oil on, or you'll be drawing dirt back into the skin.You can use
Herbal Steam thatis from herb infused water.Stop immediately if you feel dizzy or overheated.You can go for a Herbal Compress in which you have to soak several face cloths in hot, herb-infused water, and wring out. Sitting with your head back and supported, put the cloths over your face and relax for 5 minutes. As the cloths cool down, wring them out in the hot water again.You can try Herbal Bath in which a bag of herbs is infused in your bath and let the heat open your pores.
Finish by patting your face with a clean cloth wrung out in cool water.

3). EXFOLIATING :- Exfoliation or exfoliation is done for the removal of dead skin.Exfoliation should be done only 2times a week not more than that as too much of it can damage your skin.And we are using it to make skin beautiful not to damage it.Face skin is delicate.
This method extracts the dirt particles from the pores that are opened through steam treatment and also blackheads and whiteheads are removed.It is a simple method that whisks away dead cells from the surface of your skin, revealing the plumper, younger looking skin underneath. It encourages your skin to speed up cell production, which means that the cells that reach the surface are younger and better-looking. The result is a brighter, smoother complexion - no matter what your age or skin type.
For exfoliation there are many scrubs available in the market.Everyuth walnut scrub,apricot scrub etc.

You can buy products available or you can use easy home made scrubs or natural scrubs also.Here are some-

*Sugar Scrub : Sugar is very good for skin.It makes the skin soft and supple.To make sugar scrub you will need
Sugar (white or brown any available in your kitchen) + Oil (olive oil /coconut oil/ almond oil/vegetable oil. + lemon (optional)
Mix all these things and apply gently on face and neck in gentle round motion.Always apply upward motion.
Leave it for few minutes and then wash.

*Salt Scrub : Salt is also good exfoliator.Here,you have to replace sugar with salt and rest is same as above.You can also use a mix of sugar and salt in these packs.You can also use these packs as body scrubs.And you will notice soft supple glowing skin after rinse.

*Walnut Scrub : Take walnuts (without coat) Grind them in a blender or grinder.Add some oil also.You can use any oil like olive,castor etc.
Castor oil is too much greasy and sticky so it is good to add other oil in it.You can add olive or coconut.When you were grinding only walnut you would have seen some oil already they were living and after adding some oil,keep it in a bottle or container and then you can use it.
You can also use some curd or yogurt in it while applying on your skin.

I will share most awesome scrubs,face packs etc. of curd/yogurt in my coming posts so stay connected.

*Epsom Salt : It is one of the best exfoliators.You can use the same ingredients as shared above (sugar and salt).It is also used in spa treatment.Just add Epsom salt in water in the tub,some essential oil,some rose petals,lemon juice in the tub.Lit candles and play little music which soothe your mind and soul.Take your time and enjoy.Just relax.It is a very good aroma therapy.

I will discuss more scrubs in my coming posts.
Now,the next step is massaging.

4). MASSAGING :- Facial massage is a step you will love.It is very very important as it increases the blood circulation which is needed for beautiful,glowing,soft,younger and brighter skin.It reduces fine lines and wrinkles if done in correct way.You can use any oil like almond oil to massage your face.Almond oil contains vitamin E which is like a boon for the skin.We will discuss it later over here and in our health blog too.
You can use facial massage creams available in market also.You can use winter creams also.Always go for creams having natural ingredients.
Use your fingertips to gently massage on your face and neck.We will discuss easy steps you can do at home in our coming posts.
Always use the movement in upward direction.Be gentle.

5). SERUM OR GEL :- You can apply here serum or gel.We are mentioning here this as some people use facial kits for  it.And they contain gels/gold serum or gel etc.

6). FACE PACKS :- Apply face pack gently on your face.You can use face pack of facial kit if you are using it or other face packs available in the market.You can also use homemade face packs made up of fuller's earth,china clay,yogurt/curd/sandalwood,rose etc. Few treatments give your skin such a quick lift as a facepack. These simple packs, based on fruit or vegetables, can be left on for upto an hour. A mask is a stronger version of a facepack, using a powder such as flour or clay to penetrate the pores more deeply. It should be left on for 10-15 minutes.
To remove the facepack or mask, dab it with water (for oily skin) or milk (for dry skin) to soften it, then gently massage and rinse the mix off your skin.

I will share many face packs in future posts from fuller's earth to apple,cucumber to papaya,aloevera and many more.There is lot of stuff coming.Just keep reading.

7). TONING :- Toning is needed to close the pores.You can use any toner available in the market.It is good to use alcohol free toner.In fact,Rose water is a very good toner.You can use mint and aloevera containing toner.Remove any residues and soothe the skin with a splash of cool flower water or, for oily skin, witch hazel and flower water. Skin that is very oily or has darker patches can be rubbed with a slice of lemon and left for a few minutes before rinsing off.For more on toners,be with me

8). MOISTURISING :- In the end,apply any good moisturiser suitable to your skin according to your skin type. Moisturize the skin with a good massage. You may use cream or oil based moisturizers.

So,girls these are the easy steps to keep your skin rejuvenated and revived.I will be sharing more on this topic in future so keep reading.
Stay Healthy...Stay Happy..and Be simply beautiful !!!

Extra Note :-

1). Always use cleans hands before doing steps.
2). Choose products wisely
3). Know your skin type
4). Use clean sterilised cotton or clean clothes for wiping
5). These tips are not a prescription or guarantee.It depends on your skin and other factors.Use with care and precaution.These are only advice.
6). Facial is good for age above 25years.It can done once or twice in a month.It depends.
7). We have not included bleaching here.Bleaching is not too healthy for skin so do it only for an event or marriage. The skin bleaching cream for lightening facial hair contains a cream and an activator. They contain harsh chemicals like hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, sodium per carbonate, sodium, dithionate etc. which in due course of time makes your skin susceptible to pigmentation.Be cautious while using it.Always mix right amount of activator in it.It should not get into your eyes.
Buy good quality cream bleach from the chemist. Do a patch test before hand to make sure that you are not allergic to the ingredients in the bleach.
8). Always take out your rings etc.while doing massage.
9). You can keep the massage cream in refrigerator for sometime before applying however,some say it is not so good.However,i had tried it and find it good.
10). You can add few drops of lemon juice in facial massage cream for better results.
For more lemon juice packs, uses and properties stay tuned with us.
11). Don't leave face pack for hours.It is appropriate to leave a pack generally for 15 -20minutes or 30minutes till dry.Leaving it more can cause stretched skin which can lead to fine lines and wrinkles.
12). Do not rub toners,just pat it by cotton or fingers on your face.
13). Always do a warm up before facial massage.I will share it later how you can do it.

Special tip - Rub ice on the face or massage it over the face to keep skin beautiful and healthy.It is used before make up also by many beauticians.
You can add rose water,mint juice,cucumber juice or lemon juice in water also while freezing ice.And then apply it and enjoy !!!
