Healthy Habits for Clear Skin

Hello Beauties!

I hope the weather change has been good to you. And hopefully no pimples.. we do not even want to think about those little monsters. Still, whenever I am back from traveling or its a season change I get one or two here and there. There is always a different cause for all of us. It could be hormonal, pollution in environment, our diet, lifestyle. And it also a way of body to flush out toxins.


So, here are some of the easy to follow ways which have always worked from me, ever since I was a teen and I had it much more than just a pimple. Now that must have been hormonal huh!I have developed these ways into habits and woo! I have a skin that I am happy with.



So, here are some ways that have always worked for me.

• Washing face with plain water as often. Especially when you return from outdoors. Do not use any sort of soap and simply plain water. . As, it can form a film over skin and any dirt would be trapped inside skin pores.

As a teen I had lot of pimples and this one step was a savior.

• Drinking water.

The first thing after waking up should be drinking plain water. Add few drops of lemon juice in a glass of warm water and have it to aid in the body cleanse. Start slowly and make it up for atleast 1 litre of water. And have breakfast after an hour of having water.

Keep yourself hydrated. Not only does it help flushing toxins out of the body working as a cleanse, it is also helpful in overall health.

• Please do not touch your face that often with fingertips. Instead use a fresh piece of cloth, towel, tissue, or even back of your palm if you do not have any other thing at your disposal. But using Nails or Fingertips is a complete No! No! Finger tips have so many bacterias and we are only promoting pimple growth. If you have to make sure you have washed your hands.

I always see people with pimples scratching them. It will irritate it further.

• Skin Care - Using Natural Antibiotic Products

I like using Neem soaps or Neem packs or Ointments. Its naturally antibiotic. You can get these at any Asian stores. Apart from that Tea Tree Oil has also similar properties and is even antifungal. I use it because I have dry skin.Try using ointments with such anti properties. The one I recently bought is Hollywood Beauty Tea Tree Oil.

All these help sooth current skin condition like itchy skin, acne and prevents further growth.
I prefer ones which are natural, herbal and gentle especially for my face.

These can be even more beneficial when used after exfoliating skin with any good scrub. The one that I have been using recently is St Ives's Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub. You can even make your own natural scrubs. I have not yet tried those and hopefully will soon.

• Lifestyle - Sweat it Out!

I feel exercising helps flushing toxins out of the body in form of sweat.So, these toxins are not available to come out as pimples.

Also, having lots of veggies and fruits definitely serves as a detox and helps maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Read my blog on body detoxification here.

Detoxification - We know it and can do it!

Making lifestyle changes like diet and exercise is essential but it takes time. And no one can be hundred percent perfect with a healthy lifestyle. So, meanwhile adopting steps 1 - 4 as a habit has always been helpful to me in getting and maintaining clear skin.

These are my experiences which have helped me and are not medical advices. Before following any procedures, I would recommend consulting your doctor / dermatologist if you feel a need such as pre-existing skin or any other medical condition.


So, what are your ways of getting a clear skin glow! Leave a comment below. I would love hearing from you.

Spice up your Nail Colors for Fall

Hello Beauties!

I have recently bought few nail paints which I am absolutely in love. All three are from Sally Hansen. I mostly own neutral shades and few bold shades like deep reds and blues. Like always I end up buying certain neutral shades as a safe option. Also because I know these if applied as a coat over any solid color that we already have can spice it up entirely. And applying it simply as a coat makes it so easy and less time consuming. I find all of them so versatile and can almost work in most seasons. This is the reason I want to share with you.

The first one is called Diamond Strength in the number 115 (Silver Anniversary).

Sally-Hansen Diamond Strength Silver-Anniversary

The best part apart from the beautiful pattern that you can see in the picture is that when applied it lasts like forever... no chipping. I tried it over my bare nails and also you can go ahead and try it over some solid color. And this can become perfect for a night out this season especially if combined with deep reds, greens or navy blue.

Another good thing about this nail paint is that it is random silvery dots, so you actually don't have to worry even if one of the dots got missing. Although with this nail paint as I guess is the name saying strength I have not experienced it fading anyhow. There is one con with this though that the nail paint would not come out easily with nail paint remover. This texture comes in many shades. You can find all of these here Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Shades

 


Another shade is also diamond strength and as far as the texture is concerned it is quite a regular nail paint with brilliant sheen.

If you plan to use it on bare nails you might want to go with double coat for it to actually show on your nails.

As far as the look is concerned it definitely adds a shimmery effect to any solid color that you choose to apply it for this season.

I have a peachy shade in number 140 (Aisle Be There) and it comes in other shades like one with a  white tone. The diamond strength version of the company is a no chip nail paint.

Though this is definitely a pro but be prepared as it takes some time before you actually are able to remove it with a regular liquid nail paint remover.



The last shade I want to discuss is 'Sugar Shimmer'.

Sally-Hansen Shimmer Textured Berried

It says of having sugary texture and I love having it over.I took shade ... which is slight berry pink. I have it in number 06 (Berried under).

I so much wanted to buy the dark shades and like always I ended up buying the neutral tones. I am definitely very soon putting my hands over some dark shades in this texture. I know I should have picked up dark shades. So, you can go and check as the sugar crush version comes in many shades. Click here to see all the shades Sally-Hansen Sugar Shimmer Shades.

I picked this shade because I was running out of my pink which should be a basic for any girl's vanity. Also, I knew I would put this to use more often than other dark shades. I also love this color for the season because of its texture. It gives an edgy feel. I am really enjoying myself this fall where I can combine my outfits (dark fall shades) with this nail paint without going entirely blank like solid neturals.


You can find all these in Sally Hansen stores or other supermarkets. I bought them at CVS store where I got a good deal. You can even buy it online. Under pics are the links where you can buy them.

Let me know which is your favorite shade this fall. Also let me know of any organic nail paints that you might know of. I would love to hear from you guys.

I have not yet started my search over nail paints that fall into organic category. So, sooner I would want to check which are the most organic and eco - friendly nail paints available. We love nail paints and we want companies to think more organic.
