20. Sun Protection And
Care
Sunscreen Save

One more thing you must
keep in mind is to not step out of your home without sun protection. Wondering
why? Well, the harsh rays of the sun can do you more damage than you could have
ever imagined. his is why you need to use a sunscreen. Keep the following
points in mind:
Always apply a sunscreen
before stepping out into the sun.
An SPF of at least 30 or
more, depending on your skin type, is necessary.
The UV rays darken and
damage your skin. So, make sure you reapply your sunscreen every four or five
hours.
Prepare your own
sunscreen lotion with glycerin, cucumber juice, and rose water. You can also
store this lotion in the refrigerator.
If you have already
spent too much time in the sun, you would require specialized treatment to heal
your skin by removing the tan and burns. Try out these skin repair masks to
have your issues solved.
Skin Repair Masks
21. Homemade Tan Removal
Tans are inevitable,
aren’t they? No matter how much sunscreen we apply, the brutal sun always finds
a way to harm us. There are several ways to remove a tan right at your home.
But here, we shall enlighten you on one of the most famous tan removal packs
ever.
Ubtan
This traditional
treatment includes the use of a mixture of besan (gram flour), turmeric, and
yogurt. Turmeric removes the blemishes and dark spots. Yogurt clears the
excessive tan, and besan cleanses your skin effectively.
This mask suits all skin
types and can be applied every day as it is very gentle. The effects are
visible quite immediately, but tan removal needs a few days to a couple of
weeks, depending on the intensity of the tan.
22. Homemade Sunburn
Cure
Well, sunburns are
natural once you hit a beach for your vacation. But that doesn’t mean you need
to go back to work looking toasted. Here is one solution you will definitely
love!
Vinegar
Vinegar has antioxidants
that fight free radicals and also keep bacterial and fungal infections at bay.
More importantly, the pH level of your skin is effectively restored with the
use of vinegar. This is what you need to do:
Take a clean spray
bottle and fill it with some vinegar.
Spray it directly on the
affected areas and allow it to dry.
Normally, vinegar dries
within two to three minutes, and you can instantly feel a cooling and relaxing
sensation on your skin.
You can follow the same
procedure once every five hours to prevent the burning sensation and to cure
your sunburn faster.
So, here are the
easy-to-make homemade face packs you can use anytime. Wash your face thoroughly
before applying these face packs. Wear a hair band and plain clothes that you
won’t feel sorry about if spoilt. Use a brush to apply the face pack evenly.
While washing off the face mask, use circular movements with your fingertips to
get rid of the excess dirt. You can use a washcloth to wipe off your face.
Don’t rub your face. Instead, pat it dry.
Your skin needs time and
care for rejuvenation and regeneration. Without basic care, improving your
skin’s condition and tone would be a difficult task. This is why you need to
follow certain skin care basics to ensure a youthful, glowing skin.
Following are the
certain factors that can contribute to healthy and glowing skin:
a. Drink Lots Of Water
Make it a habit of
drinking a minimum of eight glasses of water every single day. This is not just
a common advice – water is essential for the proper functioning of the body.
There is a fluid loss from the body due to evaporation, sweating, and
urination. This loss needs to be compensated by drinking plenty of water and
juices (and not soft drinks).
When the water intake is
not equal to the water output, dehydration takes place. Generally, fluid loss
takes place in warmer climates, in people who perform grueling exercise
routines at high altitudes and in older people who don’t tend to feel thirsty.
About 70 percent of the
body is composed of water, which is required for various functions like
digestion, respiration, absorption, circulation, transportation of nutrients,
and maintenance of normal body temperature. When you are low on water, the
brain triggers the body’s thirst mechanism. Water is a zero-calorie beverage,
and drinking it is the safest way to lose weight.
Water energizes you and
relieves you from fatigue. When you are dehydrated and tired, your face looks
really dull. The skin mirrors your health, so you should treat water as a
nutrient and drink it. Since water improves digestion, it makes your face fresh
and free of acne.
b. Sleep Well
sleep Save
Image: Shutterstock
If you don’t sleep, it
shows on your face. You look irritated and tired. The solution is to not skip
your beauty sleep and avoid staying awake till late hours in the night. The
lack of sleep causes the blood vessels to dilate, and this results in dark circles.
The skin undergoes
repair, restoration, and rebalancing while you are sleeping. The dead skin
cells give way to newer cells, and the face gets an instant lift.
All the hormonal and
metabolic changes occur in the body while you are sleeping. So, the lack of
sleep disrupts the body processes. Seven to eight hours of sleep is absolutely
needed if you want a healthy skin. However, don’t oversleep as it can cause
cell breakdown. Maintain balance. Fix your sleeping and waking timings. Sleep
on a soft pillow and make sure the pillow cover is also soft.

Kits In India ]
c. Exercise
You must exercise for at
least 30 minutes every day. If you have skin problems like acne, psoriasis, and
rosacea, take ample precautions before exercising, but don’t let them hinder
your active life. Dermatologists say that exercise helps increase the blood
circulation that itself boosts skin health.
When you do any physical
activity, the blood carries oxygen and nutrients to all the cells, including your
skin cells, and makes them healthy. Exercise also helps remove cellular debris
and free radicals from the body and cleanses it from within. Sometimes, stress
causes the sebaceous glands to secrete more sebum, and this triggers skin
problems like eczema and acne. Exercise helps to de-stress, and this keeps skin
problems at bay. More importantly, exercise tones your body and makes you look
beautiful.
d. Exfoliate
Follow a good skin care
routine. Do not skip exfoliation as, without it, you cannot get rid of dead and
dry skin that accumulates and makes your complexion appear dull. You needn’t
always buy a scrub. Homemade scrubs are just as effective. Use oatmeal as an
exfoliator instead of a packaged product. There are many natural options
available.
e. Remove Makeup Before
Sleep
It is important to let
your skin breathe. Remove your makeup before you sleep every night. Yes, follow
this step every night, without fail, no matter how tired you are! With makeup,
your skin cannot repair itself.
Using oil to remove
makeup is perhaps better than using harsh chemicals. Those with oily skin feel
that the excess oil can cause more harm. Well, it is not so. Oil helps dissolve
the dirt and sebum without stripping the face of the natural oils. Those with
oily skin can also use an astringent like a neem-based cleanser.
[Read: Home Made Scrubs
For Oily Skin ]
Make sure the cleanser
is water-based. Virgin olive oil is the best as it removes all the eye and face
makeup in one step. You can also use castor oil – it is antibacterial and great
for your skin. You can also blend castor oil with almond oil, avocado oil, and
jojoba oil to remove wrinkles and give your skin the natural glow.
Blend half a cup of
virgin olive oil and castor oil.
Apply it to your face
and massage gently. Use the oil to remove all the eye makeup gently.
Now dip the washcloth in
warm water, and wring out the excess water.
Place it on your face
and keep it right there for a minute, and then wipe out the excess oil.
This simple oil
cleansing routine will remove all impurities.
f. Have Vitamin-Rich
Food
Incorporate foods rich
in vitamin A and vitamin C in your diet. This will bring a natural glow to your
skin. Vitamin C tablets are also available. You can have one tablet everyday
post lunch for a clear skin tone.
So, why wait! Follow the
tips mentioned above and keep your skin fair and healthy!

a. The one problem, I
see among my clients is dry, flaky lips! My advice to them would be to try
mixing sugar and olive oil together and lightly scrub your lips so lipstick
application is more smooth.
b. Woke up with tired
puffy eyes? Try putting your eye cream the fridge. Apply it from the outer
corners of your eyes toward the inner corners when you wake up, doing this
helps reduce inflammation and drain excess fluid in the area.
c. Clean your makeup
brushes! I tell this to all my clients, Make sure you clean your makeup brushes
regularly to avoid a build-up of makeup residue and bacteria. A simple and easy
trick, I like to use is olive oil and dish soap! The olive oil helps soften the
brushes while the dish soap disinfects any residue! Clean brushes guarantee a
super smooth and even makeup application every time.

Our lives are full with
juggling the responsibilities of our households and careers, while taking care
of friends and family. At the end of the day, we look in the mirror and think
“I look terrible!”Reducing stress and getting a good night’s sleep is my #1
beauty tip above and beyond makeup. My second suggestion is to take good care
of your skin. If you follow tips 1 & 2 you definitely won’t need much
makeup.
To help you get a good
night’s sleep I’ve created a recipe below to create an at-home spa experience-
which includes some home-made beauty products to hydrate and soften your skin.
Recipe to create your
Zen At Home Spa Experience:
Ingredients –
Soft towels
Bathtub
Candles
Soft music
Book (optional)
Green juice (see recipe
below)
Sugar body scrub (see
recipe below)
Body wash
Moisturizing face mask
(see recipe below)
Recipe For Green Juice:
1/2 cup spinach, 1/2
cucumber peeled and seeded, 1 carrot peeled with stem cut off, 1 apple cored
with one cup of water or more for desired consistency.
Spinach: Has vitamin K,
A, E, C, and B which is highly nutritious and contains lots of free-radical
fighting antioxidants.
Carrots: Bugs Bunny
simply love carrots! It contains a high level of antioxidants, which prevent
damage from free radicals. Carrots are a good source of vitamin A, which helps
in the development and maintenance of skin cells.
Apples: An apple a day
keeps a doctor away! You must have grown up with this axiom. Do you want to
know the reason? Apples contain antioxidants, which help to minimize cell and
tissue damage, prevent wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Cucumber: Use these in
your skin-boosting juice of cucumber for its anti-inflammatory properties and
which also help to keep the skin hydrated.
Homemade Sugar Body
Scrub: Mix 1 cup olive oil with 2 cups of raw sugar and add essential oil if
desired.
Moisturizing Body Bar or
Wash
Homemade Moisturizing
Face Mask: 1 cup of cooked oatmeal, 1 tablespoon honey, egg whites from one egg
(for binding the ingredients together).Blend the ingredients and apply it to
the face, keep it for 5-10minutes. Then gently rinse. Oatmeal and honey helps
to soothe and moisturize the skin.
Directions:
Draw a lukewarm bath
(not too hot, as hot water robs our skin of moisture).
Light candles, start
music and grab your book
Apply face mask to face
and neck avoiding eye and lip area.
Use Sugar Body Scrub to
gently exfoliate body- (avoid face and neck). Follow with gentle body wash if
needed. (I like to mix body wash with a little sugar scrub mixture and gently
massage into skin).
Once you have rinsed off
the body scrub and washed off the face mask, gently pat your skin with a towel
to dry.
You can dab some olive
oil on your skin to keep it hydrated.
Lie back and sip green
juice, listen to music or read, and relax.
Enjoy a peaceful sleep.
(don’t forget to blow out the candles!)

a. Before I go out in
the evening I rub ice cubes over my face to get a gorgeous, natural glow. I
swear it brightens and takes a few years off my face. I use this trick on
clients that are looking a bit sallow too.
b. Nearly everyone has
slightly asymmetrical eyes. When you are tired it shows in your eyes. When I
have a client who looks tired or one eye looks smaller than the other
(sometimes referred to as a lazy eye). I massage the brow bone and pinch their
eyebrows between my thumb and index finger to give their eye an instant lift.
Repeat this process if necessary. For example, if my right eye is a bit smaller
than the left, I give it a quick lift before I take a selfie.
c. Glycerine and rose
water make a lovely makeup setting spray. Add 1/10 part glycerine to rose water
in a misting bottle (not a spray bottle) shake well and mist your makeup
holding the bottle about a foot away from your face. Your makeup will look more
natural and last longer.
d. To enhance my natural
waves and add volume to my hair, I combine two tablespoons of sugar to 2 cups
of hot or boiling water. After it’s cooled add 1-2 drops of coconut oil. Apply
to wet hair at roots for lift or all over your hair for waves. Coconut milk
sprayed onto wet hair will also help to add volume.

a. Choose makeup and
skincare products that are as natural as possible to reduce chemical exposure.
Natural lip balms and lipsticks are particularly good to use, since, you aren’t
eating chemicals when you use them.
b. Coconut oil is a
fantastic body moisturizer and can be used as a deep conditioning hair
treatment. For men it’s the best natural substitute for shaving gel, once they
try it, they’ll be hooked!
c. Natural beauty starts
with good skin – so eating right, drinking lots of water and applying the right
makeup is the best way to bring out your natural beauty.
A good tinted
moisturizer to even out skin, groomed brows, and curled lashes with a coat of
black mascara and a rose colored lip and cheek stain will instantly make you
look healthy, glowing and awake.

a. Use face oil instead
of a moisturizer. Face oil absorbs into the skin faster, it is vitamin packed
and lightweight and leaves your skin with a beautiful glow. It works great
under makeup!
b. If your skin needs
exfoliation, a quick and easy DIY recipe is mixing organic sugar, olive oil,
lemon and some raw honey. Scrub your face gently and wash off. Your skin will
feel refreshed and smooth in no time.
c. Switch for a powder
blush to a crème blush, it is much smoother and blends into your skin better. It
will give you a healthy and rosy natural glow.

a. Drink more water.
Your skin is your body’s largest organ and the first place to show signs of
dehydration. Not sipping enough H2O? You’re skin will look dull and drab, feel
dry and be more prone to show the signs of aging and to breakout!
b. Invest in a jar of
extra-virgin, cold-pressed, organic coconut oil. It removes the most stubborn
of waterproof eye makeup, moisturizes hair and skin brilliantly, and simultaneously
fights acne and wrinkles. It’s my #1 go-to beauty product not only because of
it has many uses, but also because it really works. I use it in recipes in my
beauty cookbook, “The Recipe for Radiance: Discover Beauty’s Best-Kept Secrets
in Your Kitchen” than I can even count!
C. Give yourself an
at-home facial. Start with a base of full-fat Greek yogurt (it’s rich in lactic
acid to break down dead skin cells, probiotics to balance bacteria and fat to
moisturize). Add raw honey to hydrate more deeply and for its antibacterial
properties (which fight acne!) or red wine for its antioxidants. Apply a thin
layer (avoiding the eyes) and let sit for 20 minutes before rinsing off.
