HAVE YOU DETOXED YOUR SKIN? WHILE WORKING AT HOME

Healing your tired skin isn’t just about skipping makeup products; its all about following a detox practice.

-sweta

As we spend most of our time indoors, it is the best chance to detox our bodies and facial skin. As most of us still continue to work from home, it’s the right time to do a skin detox. Soothe your skin from the inside out by following a healthy diet, a skin cleansing routine, and an acne care regimen to help the skin shed toxins and maintain its glow. We need to intensely cleanse the deep-seated impurities, the stale particles of makeup, and the dead skin that, obviously is stored in the pores.

Let me share simple home care tips and tricks for an effective facial detox at home:

GET STEAMY

Steam clears up the pores and aids in loosening any build-up of dust for a deeper cleanse. Steaming opens the pores and softens blackheads or whiteheads allowing them to be gently extracted. The mixture of mild steam and water expands the blood vessels and boosts circulation.

EXFOLIATE

As you get older, the skin’s ability to shed dead skin cells begins to degrade, and it leads to dry and patchy skin that cannot receive any sort of nutrient-rich product that is applied to it. So, make sure to apply a mild exfoliant to have your skin shining and bright, even if you’re not going anywhere. The upper layer of your skin can be detoxified with exfoliation, but to enter the deeper layers and serve an intense cleanse hydration and nourishment are of utmost importance. I use Cetaphil gentle Scrub which is an amazing good product for skin routine.

HYDRATE YOUR SKIN

Hydrating and soothing toners cleanse the skin, reduce redness, and hydrate it. Sometimes a cleanser does not remove all the dust and oils from the face, and they can leave a residue. A toner will remove all this leftover dirt and give the face s fresh and refreshed look. It’s essential to use the toner after cleansing and before applying a moisturizer. This easy three-step method is sure to make your skin clean and bright. Clean the face with a mild cleanser to remove the oil from the skin, then use toner to remove the leftover dirt, and then apply moisturizer to hydrate the skin.

MASK UP

Product build-up and anxiety can take a toll on the skin and make it seem dark and dull. It’s necessary to pamper the skin with a detox session and keep it healthy. Clay masks are excellent for this purpose; they bring out dirt, absorb excess oil and unclog the pores. But I used a cucumber hydrating mask from K-beauty for super hydration. Add a mask to your skincare habit and use it two to three times a week for fresh, clear skin.

APPLY SUNSCREEN

The skin can get exposed to UV rays indoors as well. Regular windows can block out UVB rays to some extent, but they can’t tackle skin-damaging UVA rays, continued exposure to which can make the skin more prone to early ageing. So, use sunscreen indoors and reapply it every two to three hours to avoid dry-looking, distressed skin.

Detoxing your skin involves a combination of beneficial practices to restore its natural radiance and health. Whether harnessing the power of steam to open up your pores and promote deep cleansing. The gentle exfoliation that follows helps remove dead skin cells, allowing your skin to breathe freely or treat yourself to a refreshing cucumber mask, known for its soothing properties and ability to rejuvenate tired skin. Shield your newly revitalized skin from harmful sun rays with a layer of sunscreen, preserving its youthful glow and preventing damage. Complete your detox routine with toner and cleanser, working together to remove any remaining impurities and balance your skin’s pH level, leaving it feeling fresh, renewed, and ready to face the day with confidence.

Hoping you guys try at least two to three products to detoxify your skin and achieve hydration effortlessly.

WHAT HOME MADE FACE MASK CAN DO AND CAN’T DO

Wearing a mask is not only important, it’s life -saving

– Bryan Health

HOME-MADE MASKS

Vaccination for the Pandemic is almost covering people each day globally giving a sigh of relief on one hand but on the other hand my dear readers it’s happening again. We have to live with the fact that it’s not going to get over anywhere soon. Till when it’s going to last, no answers to that? No one knows! As per reports from John Hopkins University, this will probably get over by 2024, till then; everyone should know that we have to take care of ourselves and our loved ones. No matter if you are being got vaxxed twice.

Don’t ever think if you are vaccinated you can’t come in contact with the virus. Yes, you can! All you have to do is wear a mask and wash your hands without fail. As the news of third-wave hitting Europe and the USA already doing rounds we should be more careful now and keep ourselves ready for the next wave. So to keep that in mind as masks are becoming mandatory in most places. We should behave more responsibly and lessen this COVID spread by doing our bit.

By now I assume most of us have already developed a habit of sanitizing hands and wearing a mask. For me it has become my second nature trust me, I never leave my house without a mask. And for fashionable people like me, clothing and fashion brands introduce amazingly beautiful masks and so on. But meanwhile, people also created homemade masks; kudos to the people who created these masks at home. But these masks come with certain precautions and care.

Wearing a homemade facial covering/non-medical masks is becoming a fast norm worldwide. WHO reminds us that wearing them has not only been prevents COVID but also protects the person wearing them and is not a substitute for physical distancing and hand washing.

Home-made masks can be useful for a short period of time; when physical distancing is not possible in public settings, inside shops, malls, offices, grocery stores, or using public transit.

When choosing homemade facial covering/ non-surgical masks, it is important to know how to put them on, take them off and clean them to ensure they simply do not become a germ/virus trap attached to your face.

ALWAYS CHECK HOW TO WEAR IT

According to Health Experts Worldwide non-medical masks/ face covering should:

  1. Allow for easy breathing
  2. Fit securely to tie or ear loops
  3. Maintain their shape after washing and drying
  4. Be changed as soon as possible/damp or dirty
  5. Be comfortable and not require frequent adjustment
  6. Be made of at least 2 layers of tightly woven material fabric (cotton linen)
  7. Be large enough to completely and comfortably cover the nose and mouth without gaping

ALWAYS CHECK HOW IT FITS THE FACE

The very important thing that you should always keep in mind:

  1. The non medical face masks/face coverings should not be shared with others or be placed on anyone or unable to remove them without assistance or anyone who has trouble breathing.
  2. They should not impaired or secured with tape
  3. They should not be made of plastic or be made exclusively of materials that easily fall apart as as tissues
  4. Should not be place on children under 2yrs of age

Remember homemade masks may not be effective in blocking virus particles that may be transmitted by coughing, sneezing, or spreading of virus particles because of a potential loose fit of the material used. When putting them or taking them off, do not touch the front of the mask/covering and avoid touching the mask while it is on your face.

ALWAYS CHECK FOR ANY LOOSE FITS

I hope you keep that in mind because COVID is now part of our lives and we have to keep stopping the spread by wearing masks as this is the big game-changer in the fight from COVID.

Stay happy, stay blessed and stay safe!

BEAUTY UNMASKED

The most beautiful face is always the face of the peaceful mind....

Does it ever cross your mind that you can micro-manage your skin concerns with a patchwork of mask for each zone of your face?

I examine the skin on my face and I’m sure most of us find that there are various skin issues like open pores, on cheeks, whiteheads, blackheads, and a dry T zone perhaps, and the discoloration on the forehead and around the mouth. So I was figuring out how is that even possible that one single mask can be used to address all the skin issues.

This is when multi-masking fits in as a one-step solution to take multiple concerns of your facial skin.

WHAT IS MULTI MASK

Applying different types of masks on different zones of our face according to dry and oily areas or to reduce discoloration or tan.

WHY MULTI-MASK

According to dermatologists, the distribution of sweat and oil glands differs from one portion of the face to another, even for the same person. Some people have combination skin like an oily T zone and dry cheeks.

So if they use a drying mask made of fullers’ earth for oil control all over the face the dry areas will go more dry and flaky. Hence it is better to apply a drying mask to the oily areas of the face, while a moisturizing mask works better for the dry areas.

HOW TO SELECT A MASK?

Not sure about the skin type of your face? Identify them by understanding the dry, oil, and sensitive patches. Applying five different masks on your face, almost like a painting. Collage will be worth your time.

WHAT SUITS WHERE?

Let’s find out. I used images to explain it in a better way with an amazing Nordic filter effect.

FOR EYES AREA

Masks with Vit C and K are good for the delicate skin around the eyes. Also, herbal formulations that cucumbers have will help soften fine lines.

FOR CHEEKS

For oily skin, opt for a mask with glycolic or salicylic acid. For dry skin collagen is effective. Also, aloe vera works well for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

FOR T-ZONE

The section on your face over the eyebrows and the nose tend to get very oily. Apply an oil-absorbing mask that has glycolic acid. Alternatively, fullers earth is a great option.

FOR MOUTH AND NECK

Apply brightening formulations around the mouth, up to the neck to even out your skin tone. A coffee and a honey scrub or a combination of cucumber and papaya can be prepared at home.

FOR THE NATURAL GLOW

After applying the various masks, keep them on for 15 min and relax. wash your face, pat dry and finish by applying a moisturizer suitable to your skin type.

Thank you for reading this

Have a happy and glowing skin folks!

Stay Healthy. Keep glowing
