My Night Skin Care Tips

The best time of the day to cleanse your face, leave products or let your face breathe is at night. 

Here I am going to list some tips I recommend for anyone looking for daily night skin care tips:

• Cleanse: This is a given, but sometimes it is easy to simply fall into bed without taking the time to clear away the dirt and grime of the day. For those with oily skin, use a cleanser with salicylic or glycolic acid.

• Remove all makeup: You have to remove all makeup before going to sleep at night because leaving the makeup can cause you acne and/or irritation. 

• Apply a soothing face mask: To help your skincare products sink in more efficiently.

• Exfoliate: You should exfoliate only two or three times a week; more often can dry your skin.

• Use a toner: Use a toner that is specifically made for your skin type. For example, those with dry or normal skin shouldn’t use toners that contain alcohol or it can irritate or dry your skin. 

• Moisturize: Moisturizing your face should always come after a cleansing. When you wash your face, you wash away essential oils and moisturizing your skin helps replenish it. If you have oily skin, make sure you are using a moisturizer that is water based and meant for your skin type. Take an extra couple minutes and use a deep moisturizer on the extra dry areas of your body, such as elbows, knees, heels and hands and feet.

• A good nights sleep: A good nights sleep will literally help your face refresh your face.

 

Moisturize. Many acne products contain ingredients that dry the skin, so always use a moisturizer that minimizes dryness and skin peeling. Look for "noncomedogenic" on the label, which means it should not cause acne. There are moisturizers made for oily, dry, or combination skin.

Did you know?!
Your skin can be oily and dehydrated at the same time.

When your skin is dehydrated (lacking water) your sebum production will kick in, in over drive. You will have excess oil and still lack the much needed hydration your skin needs.

This creates the perfect recipe for milia, clogged pores and breakouts.

Silk Pillowcases help skin & hair. This is quite the investment, but if you truly want to see your skin improve, it is worth the money! Silk pillowcases are great for skin and hair health. Cotton can sometimes irritate the face, especially if you are a stomach sleeper, Silk pillowcases are smooth and make sleeping more comfortable, but more importantly, make your skin and hair healthy! #skincare #haircare

Here's what you Should be doing to Prevent Dark Inner Thighs

Dark skin on the inner thighs can be experienced by anyone, regardless of skin tone. It occurs when the skin on the inner thigh produces an abundance of melanin, a pigment that gives skin its color. This is called hyperpigmentation. The discoloration of dark inner thighs may even stretch into the bikini or groin area.

Other reasons for dark inner thighs include excessive sweating, poor hygiene, using various hair removal techniques like shaving, hormonal imbalance, and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome to name a few. While most of us tend to ignore this body part, it will only feel hygienic to not have a body part which is of a different skin tone than the rest of your body.

There are a number of reasons why a person may experience a darkening of the skin on the inner thighs. Some of these reasons may include:

• chafing, which can occur during exercise or walking, and may cause the skin to become thin, itchy, and discolored
• hormonal imbalance, particularly among women during lactation, pregnancy, or menstruation, or among those with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
• certain medications, like hormonal oral contraceptives or certain chemotherapy medications
• sun exposure
• dry skin
• friction from tight clothing
• acanthosis nigricans, a skin pigmentation disorder
• diabetes mellitus

Below we will include a few home remedies that could help you.

 Lemon:

Not only does lemon have exfoliating properties that help in removing skin impurities, it also acts as a bleaching agent which can help in lightening your skin tone. You can apply fresh lemon juice in your inner thighs, let it stay for around 20 minutes and remove with a wet cloth. Do this at least thrice a week for effective results. People with dry and sensitive skin can dilute lemon juice with water to prevent dryness.

Aloe Vera:

Aloe Vera has some amazing skin rejuvenating properties and is also effective in lightening the inner thigh area as it alleviates hyperpigmentation. You can extract aloe vera gel from aloe vera plant and apply it on the thighs and massage until they get absorbed in the skin. Rinse off with warm water and repeat twice or thrice daily for effective results.

Cucumber:

Cucumber has bleaching properties that helps in lightening dark inner thighs. It helps in removing dirt and dead cells. You can apply fresh cucumber juice in your inner thighs and rub gently for 10 minutes. Rinse of with water. You can do this twice daily for a lighter-toned skin in the inner thigh.

Yogurt:

Lactic acid in yogurt has mild bleaching properties. Yogurt also has some amount of zinc which helps in healing sunburns. You can apply yogurt on inner thigh for a few minutes and let it stay for around 15 minutes. Rinse of with lukewarm water. You can do this once every day. 

Coconut Oil:

Essential fatty acids in coconut oil help in lightening up your hyperpigmentation and fade away the dark spots. Coconut oil also works as an excellent moisturiser. You can mix 1 tabelspoon of lemon juice in coconut oil and apply on the inner thighs. Let it stay for around 10 minutes. You can do this every alternate day for effective results.

Almonds:

Vitamin E rich almonds are helpful for skin brightening, moisturising the dried skin and repairing damaged skin. Add honey and almond powder in milk to make a scrub paste. Apply the scrub in your inner thighs and let it dry for a few minutes. Remove it with wet fingers and rinse with cold water. Repeat thrice a week for to lighten inner thighs.

Orange Peel:

Orange peel has mild exfoliating and bleaching properties that help in lightening the dark skin on inner thighs. Make a powder of dried orange peels and add 2 teaspoons of it in rose water to make a thick paste. Add some raw honey to it. Apply the paste on inner thighs and leave for 15-20 minutes. Remove with cold water. Repeat 2 to 3 times in a week for best results.

Here are 12 Skincare Resolutions you Should Make for 2019.

It’s a new year, which means the majority of us are making New Year’s resolutions and setting goals to improve ourselves. Many lists include hitting the gym more and eating lots of leafy greens, but there’s more to New Year’s resolutions than being healthier. Now is also the time to make some beauty resolutions.
it’s always good to take a look at your routine and see if there are any areas that need improvement. Chances are, there are a few.

Take off your Makeup Every Night.

Removing your makeup basically requires as much effort as putting on your pajamas, but it’s much more important. No matter how tired you are, resolve to properly cleanse your face before you go to sleep every single night (no cheating!). If using a cleanser and water takes too much effort, opt for a time-saving cleansing wipe instead. Your skin will thank you.

Make Wearing Sunscreen a Daily Habit.

If you’re going to have only one beauty resolution this year, it should be to wear sunscreen every day. Regularly wearing sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays and the premature signs of aging. Commit to applying sunscreen 365 days a year, including the winter months. Not wearing sunscreen because you don’t like the formula isn’t an excuse: these top-rated sunscreens aren’t greasy or chalky.

Don't Forget About the Rest of your Body.

We’re often so focused on our faces that we tend to neglect the skin on our bodies. You may think that soaping up with your body wash and loofah is sufficient, but that probably isn’t enough. Try to show your body the same love as your face by using body scrubs regularly and remember to moisturize.

Get to Really Know your Skin and it's Needs.

After living in your skin for so many years, you may think that you know it inside and out, but do you really? Do you know what your undertone is? Do you know whether your skin is oily, dry or a combination of the two? You may think that you do, but it’s worth consulting an expert, like a makeup artist or dermatologist, to figure out things for sure. That way you’ll be able to choose products that are better suited to your needs.

Moisturizing, Make it a Priority!

Moisturizer is as important to your skin care regimen as your cleanser. It doesn’t matter whether you have sensitive, dry or oily skin, you need to apply moisturizer regularly. You even need it in the summer months. If you don’t like using moisturizer because you find it greasy, there are lots of lightweight formulas that won’t clog your pores to choose from.

Exfoliate Daily!

As great as your moisturizer is, it cannot do all of the work. You need something that will remove those dead skin cells that build up. That’s where exfoliating comes in. You can choose whatever tools or products you like, the important thing is that you make exfoliation a regular part of your routine as opposed to something you do every couple months when you remember.

Do NOT Pick your Face!

This is one of the harder ones to quit, but doing it will majorly benefit your complexion. No matter how tempting it is, make it your goal to stop picking your face. That includes squeezing pimples, removing blackheads and scratching scabs. Remind yourself that messing with your face just creates additional problems, including more breakouts and even scarring.

Store your Properly.

Finding a good spot to store your beauty products is about more than organization or decorating. It’s also about maintaining the products themselves. FYI: Storing your products in an Instagram-worthy spot often isn’t the optimal place for them. Many cosmetics can deteriorate if they’re exposed to light, humidity or extreme temperatures, so choose a location that will help preserve them and keep you organized.

Get Rid of Expired Products.

Toss out any expired beauty products. If you don’t remember when you bought it, toss it. Same goes if it has a funky smell or has changed color. It doesn’t matter how expensive it was, throw it in the trash.

Don't Switch Products Constantly.

Results are never instantaneous. You might need to wait six weeks or more to notice any changes in your skin, so resolve to give new products time to work before moving on. The only exception is if you try something and it gives you an allergic or cosmetic reaction.

Get enough Sleep!

You may already have this resolution on your list, but it’s important from a beauty perspective too. Getting a full night of sleep doesn’t just prevent raccoon eyes, it is also the time when your skin regenerates. If you want to further improve your skin while you catch some zzz's, you can try an overnight beauty product.

Here are 10 Useful Tips on How to Take Care of your Skin During the Winter.

Winter can wreak havoc on your skin making it dry, itchy, and irritated. And it can feel like there’s no escape: Cold, blustery conditions outside can leave your skin feeling raw, while indoor heat zaps moisture from the air and from your skin.
Even things that make winter beautiful, such as sitting by a warm fire can dry you skinned though taking a hot shower might seem like a good idea to warm up, it actually takes a toll on your skin, stripping it of it's natural oils.





But there are many ways to maintain your skin radiant and combat the causes of dry skin by keeping your skin feeling moist and supple all season long; this could include changes to your everyday routine such as after taking a not so hot shower blot your skin and apply a thick layer of moisturizer to seal the water into your skin.

Here are some other useful things you can do to protect your skin.

• Invest in a humidifier to maximize the moisture: 

Using a humidifier at home or in your office will add moisture to the dry winter wind and keep your skin hydrated. Run the humidifier through the rooms you spend the most time in including your bedroom.

• lower your thermostat to avoid dryness

When it is chilly out, first thing you might think of is to crank up your thermostat; but this could backfire because the central heat can make the air in your house even drier. Instead try setting it at a comfortable 62-72 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Limit your time in the shower and temperature.

As tempting as it sounds to take a long steamy shower, your skin will be served with a 5-10 minute lukewarm shower or bath. You should also avoid using excessively hot water when washing your hands, washing your hands with cooler hands appear to be as effective removing bacteria and germs. When using a public restroom, when drying your hands use it until your hands are damp rather than perfectly dry.

• Opt for gentle, fragrance free cleansers.

Using the wrong soap can worsen itchy, dry skin. For example regular soaps may contain irritating ingredients and fragrances. Instead look out for a fragrance-free cleanser, moisturizer or gel. Skin problems could also be prevented by using less soap overall, limiting its use to only the necessary areas. 

• Change your facial care routine for the season.

During winter months its recommended to use cream based cleansers and to apply astringents and toners sparingly. Majority of astringents contain alcohol which can further skin dryness.

• Moisturize frequently, especially your hands.

Maintain healthy skin by moisturizing after washing up. "It's best to use a cream or ointment in the winter. Lotions are better in warmer, humid climates. Applying a hand cream after each washing can help.
Wearing waterproof gloves when washing dishes or cleaning around the house.

• Apply sunscreen even if it is cloudy.

Before you go outside, apply a moisturizing, broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher to all exposed areas of your body. And don’t be fooled by darker, dreary days in winter, either. The sun’s harmful UV rays can permeate clouds and still cause damage. it’s just as important to be applying sunscreen in the harsh winter weather as it is in the summer.

• Wear comfortable clothing, nonirritating clothes.

Many cold-weather fabrics can aggravate dry winter skin. Keep wool and rough clothing from directly touching your skin, they can cause dry skin to get irritated and itchy. wear light layers made from soft, breathable materials directly against your skin, and then pull on your heavier, warmer sweaters. Be sure to protect your hands from cold winter air with gloves or mittens, remembering to choose a pair that won’t irritate your skin.  

• Remember to eat healthy and stay hydrated.

Sometimes when skin is very dry, it can be helped by foods or supplements that contain omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids, such as fish oil and flaxseed oil, For the most part, however, it is important to help the skin moisturize from the outside. 

• Change out of wet clothes quickly to avoid itchy skin.

Wearing wet clothes and shoes can further irritate your skin and cause itchiness. If gloves, socks, and pants become wet, be sure to remove them as soon as possible. If you still experience dryness, discomfort, and irritation after trying these healthy skin tips, try using an over-the-counter, 1 percent hydrocortisone cream. If you don't see improvement in a few days, talk with your doctor, you may need a prescription-strength moisturizer to overcome winter's drying effects on your skin.

Here's how a Colon cleansing can help your skin...

What is a Colon Cleansing? 

A colon cleanse is the process of internally cleansing your intestines (bowels) by alleviating bowel discomfort, aiding the peristaltic functions, softening stool, and overall assisting in more frequent and comfortable bowel movements. Cleansing methods range from natural herbal formulas and careful, restrictive dieting, to enemas, hydrotherapy, colonoscopy, or other methods.

Some people cleanse to “help out” their bowels from consuming junk food.

Others, as you might, do it to figure out how to achieve healthier skin.

Benefits of a Colon Cleanse for Skin

The benefits of a colon cleanse for your skin are sundry. From the way your skin looks to the way your skin feels, a colon cleanse can tackle almost every facet of healthy skin.

Remember: the skin is just the tip of the benefits iceberg of colon cleanses.

• Colon cleanses can help reduce acne and blemishes.

While many people assume eating “junk food”–like fast-food burgers, french fries, and chips–contributes to acne, that’s not entirely true.

What is harmful, though, is getting grease on your face, drinking excessive diary products (milk, yoghurt), or consuming too much sugar.

When your body consumes sugar, it can spike your body’s blood sugar.

• Colon cleanses can help relieve inflammation.

When your intestinal functions are not playing at their A game, your body can shoot back with vengeance at your skin, and cause unsightly inflammation.

For example, some people unfortunately suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Because of an imbalance in their digestive track, they can experience a host of skin ailments, such as “metastatic lesions, reactive processes to the intestinal inflammation,” and other side effects.

The body then reacts to your body’s intestinal imbalance between the “mucosal epithelium, intestinal microbes, and host immune response“). The antigens between the bowel bacteria and skin don’t agree, essentially, and your skin may react negatively.

• Colon cleanses can help heal your skin.

Have you heard of “gut flora”? If you haven’t, I’m surprised. It’s been a hot topic since people have been hopping on the trend of probiotics.
Your gut is a microcosm of bacteria responsible for maintaining a healthy pH balance in your digestive tract.

• Colon cleanses can help overall physical health.

Your physical health is something to be enshrined. You don’t want to be sluggish, debilitated, or unable to do anything as you age. By helping your intestines more efficiently eliminate the waste that gets built-up in your bowels, you’re doing your entire body a favor.

And it’s not just your skin or your colon that benefits from a colon cleanse: it’s your entire body.

• For example, when people eat too much sugar and acquire Diabetes Type II, they suddenly have a higher chance of colon cancer.

While natural colon cleanses neither prevent nor treat colon cancer, it does demonstrate that your body needs all of your organs to function as best as they can; and when you allow your colon to be built up with junk, you risk your entire body’s health.
