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.

BATH BODYCOLOGY!!!

HAPPINESS IS A LONG HOT BUBBLE BATH!!

Sweta

Posting something which is practiced for personal hygiene, religious ritual or therapeutic purposes.something we do almost on a daily basis. Bath. Submergence in water helps to reduce pain and inflammation in the muscles and body, and soaking is a great way to help our bodies heal. Whether we’re tense from a long day behind a desk or an active workout, relaxing in a sumptuous bubble dip helps us to wind down, this is what I am penning down in my post today.

Most of us know about various cleansing patterns, but there is something deliciously soothing about a hot tub, it makes us feel weightless. Hot water is a natural and reassuring element. You just have to add bath bombs, essential oils or bath salts and there you go, you can create your own little sanctuary that will refresh your spirits and relax your limbs. A nice planned to bath always gives you a relaxing and reinvigorating experience. Close your eyes and let your worries float away, feel your tension at ease and awaken your senses.

Here are some tips and tricks to get that awesomeness of water to please your faculties.

  • Try steam shower daily. It opens up the pores of your skin and helps ease out the lousy blackheads and sister whiteheads that can keep your need for a monthly facial at bay. Try to aim the shower first at the back then at the front, face and shoulders using tranquil body wash which you can scrub gently with your fingertips. Your back supports the whole body structure so if you soothe it first you will generate your calm cells in the body. Taking a hot shower on the face also helps to reduce wrinkles. Keep your bathroom door shut to contain the steam within your shower area to let open bodily pores to the fullest. Switch to cool water for the final rinse.
  • Freebie fluffy Nylon loofahs are actually helpful in getting rid of dead skin. Scrub your knees, ankles, elbows, and armpits for that squeaky clean feel. Another kind of loofah that works well is the traditional loofah, as it’s an actual seedpod of tropical gourds. Naturally abrasive, it scrubs well. Don’t forget to dot the loofah with a spot of scrub for a quick job.
  • Sprinkle a few drops of aroma oil, chamomile, rose or lavender extracts into your bucket or tub for a soothing bath experience. Those fragrances have natural extracts to alleviate your senses.

I hope these super easy tricks and tips you are definitely going to use to dulcify your nous and going to try this in your following bath routine.

Also apart from those bath routines above, you can also try different types of baths such as:

  • Aromatherapy Bath: It is usually done by using aromatic fragrances. The scent, water and soothing heat generate a wonderful relaxation and healing effect. Pour in a few caps of bubble bath liquid and you are good to go. I used https://www.amazon.ca/Dr-Teals-Foaming-Lavender-Fluid/dp/B0080D1Q52 bath liquid with amazing Lavender fragrance.
  • Childhood Bath ( this is one of my favourites): Usually done by using a bubble bath bomb I usually use pink ones. The practice is popular for personal bathing because of the belief that it cleanses the skin, and that the foam insulates the bath water, keeping it warm for longer.
  • Milk Bath: By using soda bicarbonate. To make a baking soda bath, add between ¼ to 2 cups of baking soda to warm bath water and stir it around to let it dissolve. Once the baking soda has completely dissolved, soak it in the tub for up to 40 minutes. After the bath, pat the skin dry with a towel and use a natural oil or lotion to moisturize the skin.

All the ingredients used are handily available at your nearest store, so what are you waiting for, just try one of these and get a Spa Experience in the comfort of your home.

Thank you so much for reading!

Happy Bathing to all!

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

BEAUTY FINDS IN YOUR KITCHEN

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
