No matter how old you are, you still can do lot more to prevent further damage because of aging. If you happen to be young and the devil has not entered your life as yet, then also you must keep up the hard work to ensure you stay away from the disaster as long as you can. So it is never too late to begin and you have got to know the terrific tips that I am going to share with you right now….

Your lovely hands that help you complete your daily work with ease too require utmost attention and so doing these is really important…

  • Apply Sunscreen – How many Times I have to Tell you!

90% of wrinkles and dryness happen because of sun harmful rays and then also you dare step out of the house without wearing one, well do you want me to stand and clap for you? To make sure your hands (that are always exposed to the sun) stay protected please begin applying a better sunscreen. And don’t forget to keep on applying if you have been out all through the day.

  • Befriend Antioxidants!

Apart from the sunscreen, you can also begin using special creams that contain antioxidants. Antioxidants help you stay away from aging and make your skin smooth and healthy. To go more natural, try foods that are rich in antioxidants like green tea.

  • Take your Moisturizing Habits to Another Level!

I mean if you already apply some regularly, this is good but now begin using some that contain alpha hydroxyl acids, essential oils and vitamins. These creams will help you enjoy added benefits by managing the health and texture of your hand’s skin.

  • Learn how to Protect Them!

You do all the work with your hands, oh that is obvious. But what about protecting them from the harsh weather condition or strenuous household chores like gardening, washing dishes, and cleaning house? You need to shield your hands from the damages so that your nails and your skin shall remain well maintained.

  • Avoid Chemicals as Much as you Can!

You wash your hands many times in a day with those chemical loaded soaps and there are many other ways harmful ingredients touch your delicate hands. Try and avoid that as much as you can. Go natural and choose products that are free from chemicals. :)

See, caring for your hands is as easy as this; all you need was proper knowledge. You can thank me now!

Like a good girl you remove all the make-up and dirt from your face and then enjoy your beauty sleep at the end of the day. That’s really good! But sometimes you might think when you are out with your remover that you had some alternatives to serve your purpose, I too had thought that many times! So worry not and check out the list that I have brought for you and do not let your beautiful face suffer.

These make-up remover alternatives will help you serve your purpose naturally…

  • Use Petroleum Jelly….

Check my bag and you can spot a small container of petroleum jelly all the time. And after reading this, I am sure you would want to do the same. Use a small amount over your face with the help of a cotton ball and you can easily sweep out all the make-up. Begin doing this and see amazing results!

  • Dab some Baby Oil!

To get rid of the stubborn eye make-up, you must try this once. Dab some over a cotton ball and gently massage around your eyes and see all the colours and glitter coming down. This will also help your eyes moisturize and if you happen to be a make-up freak, this tip will help you in a longer run.

  • Grab some Olive Oil From your Kitchen!

Step straight towards your kitchen and look around in your cabinets, grab a bottle of olive oil (any variety would go) and use it to get rid of all the make-up. This oil acts as a good moisturizer and your skin will end up feeling great.

  • Oh the Sweet Honey!

Yes you can use it too! I know you never thought of using it while eating it over your salad. Using directly will create a mess as honey is too thick to handle, so dab some over your fingers and then swipe it off with a wet cotton ball.

  • Yoghurt, Yes that too!

You might frown after reading this, but this is true. You can use plain yoghurt to remove all the make-up from your face and so you could easily enjoy a smooth look in the end. Be sure to remove all in the end.

Don’t tell me that you did not like it? I am sure you did! So start following them and make sure you stay beautiful.

So, if you have been feeling that the number of acne on your face has increased, try skipping milk for a day or two. It won’t help you directly, but you can see the changes.

  • Too Much Booze!

You are a party bird and love drinking until late night, but do you know this is making your skin dull? Yes too much booze can such the moisture from your face and make it look almost lifeless.

It is a must that you keep your toenails in mind. How can you do that? Give your nails a week off from nail paints and let them enjoy free sun and let them grow naturally. This is necessary as regular application of nail paints and then removers can make them weak and I know you would not like this!

Let your feet enjoy warm water bath by soaking them in water tub filled with salt and oils. Clean your feet and nails with scrubber and then massage with moisturizers. And what will you get in the end? Lovely and smooth looking feet, awee!!

Do not be habitual of wearing shoes all the time, I mean let your feet enjoy some fresh air and the texture of nude grass. This will help them relax, plus shoes can make them sweat badly during summers and itchy and smelly as well, eww!

  • Let them Get Dry First!

After bathing or swimming, make sure you let them dry properly without fitting in any shoe or sandal. It is important or else they will start smelling badly or you can invite fungus infections, would you want the same?

  • Wear Clean Socks and Moisturize…

Do not wear same stockings every day or you will pass on bacteria and this will lead to further problems. And also don’t forget to apply moisturizer!!

Keep these tips in mind and make sure you do not let your feet in bad condition especially during summers, happy holiday.
