Women's Day

Which woman hasn't wondered what the secret to glowing skin is? This Women's Day celebrate yourself with a routine that will guide you to a flawless and radiant skin.

1. Use the correct cleanser according to your skin type : For oily, combination or acne-prone skin, a salycylic gel or benzoyl peroxide wash works great. For dry or mature skin, use a moisturizing or milky cleanser. For skin with pigmentation, use a brightening wash, such as an alpha hydroxy acid cleanser.

2. Wear a sunscreen 365 days a year : Be it rain or shine- Most people feel we only need to protect ourselves on sunny days or while going on the the beach. But the truth is that we need to protect our skin even when we're driving a car, flying in an airplane, or running errands. It's the daily UV exposure hat contributes to the visible signs of aging. Always choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or greater — and remember that it needs to be reapplied every 2 hours.

3. Moisturize every day and night : The best time to moisturise are right after you get out of the shower and right before you go to bed. Make sure you find a moisturizer gentle enough for every day use with zero irritation.

4. Don’t just eat your vitamins : A balanced diet is important, but there's more than one way to give your skin vitamins. There's also topical antioxidants, which are serums and creams that contain ingredients that nourish the skin. These can really help to repair the skin from sun damage and they also have natural sunscreen . The best time to apply them is right after cleansing, or they can be layered under your sunscreen for added protection.

5. Maintain a healthy lifestyle : Have a healthy diet. Have plenty of antioxidant -rich fruits and vegetables and a low sodium diet to prevent puffiness. Flax seeds on your salad or even walnuts will be an instant boost to your omega-3, thus increasing your skin's ability to hold onto moisture. Hydrate from within whenever possible-have at least 8-10 glasses a day. A lack of water means less radiance and more sagging skin. Sleep at least 8 hours a night as this helps regenerate the skin cells leaving skin young, fresh and revitalised.

Happy Women's Day to all of you today and for every day ahead!!!
