TLC for Skin

Skin care has always emphasized the things one should do for a healthy glow like; use of certain home remedies, some vitamin supplements, good eating habits etc. But seldom do we hear about things that should not be done to keep your skin glowing. There are many things we do to our skin unintentionally without even being aware about the damage it causes. They are so trivial that we don’t realise how it can affect the health of our skin and snap the glow away. We share what no to do for beautiful skin.

1) Touching – Do not touch your skin specially face frequently since our hands are laden with bacteria and when we touch our skin we transmit those bacteria’s to our face. If there is accumulation of dirt and your pores are clogged due to sweat, sebum and oil then these bacteria’s get a home to breath and live. The clogged pores are a comfortable place to live in, this will cause minor eruptions and boils which can lead to pimples.

2) Pressure - At times we don’t realise the amount of pressure we exert on our face by using our hand as a support. Resting your face on your hand is not a good idea, this kind of action can cause wrinkles if done repeatedly.

3) Pricking boils and pimples - Never ever prick a pimple, it will break out and damage the surrounding tissues. It will also leave a mark on your skin. You should either let them settle naturally or use some ointment.

4) Do not use a cosmetic soap, it has alkaline and will dry the skin badly. Always use a handcrafted soap which is pH balanced. Bear these simple tips in mind and get gorgeous skin.
