* For a homemade exfoliation routine, you can take walnut kernels or almonds, mash them and blend them with milk. This can be gently massaged on the body to remove dead skin. (Also refer to the post Fix your dull and tired skin with masks and complexion scrubs)
* Use sugar for exfoliation but remember to massage it in gently.
* If you have to go out and don't have too much time to get ready, slice an orange, dab it on the face and rest for 30 minutes. It leaves the skin glowing and fresh.
* To lighten tanned skin, apply a face pack of cucumber and milk. Blend cucumber with chilled milk and apply on affected areas. Rinse after 15 minutes.
* When you come in from the heat, splash Rose water on your face to soothe and cool your skin and prevent inflammation.

for food you should eat a lot of fruits and veggies, and drink A LOT of water. Also try to get some excercise and be out in the sun a little. Don't eat a lot of sugar because it gives you spots. A top model tip for good skin is to open your pores with some hot water on your face. Then use soap on your open pores. Wash the soap off with some more hot water and then splash cold water on your face to re-close the pores. It really works and if you suffer from sensitive skin then don't worry that you're using soap, just moisturize after.

How much should i exfoliate?
ReplyDeleteTwice a week. That way you keep your skin smooth, but give it time to create it's own oils. Exfoliate more than that and you will result in even more redness, and soreness.
ReplyDeleteDon't press too hard. Just use your fingertips to exfoliate in a circular motion in different areas....for about 5 seconds in each area. Too hard and you risk taking of skin cells. Just press lightly, it'll work well. :)
