Dry Skin DIY remedy

I don't know how many of you face this problem but as the winter season is about to come, my skin gets super dry, which otherwise is normal and extremely oily in monsoons (thats one too many types for a skin right?) But thats the problem of my life. I have to keep on switching products and routines to fit to my skin needs every 3-4 months.

Recently my skin was again going all dry and flaky. Earlier my routine was to slather ounces of The body Shop Shea Butter on my face before going to sleep, after cleaning ofcourse. But now that I get super sleepy after 10, its difficult for me to manage. Therefore in my pursue to save my skin, I discovered a remedy that was once my routine and now has tremendous hydrating effect on my skin.

The combination remedy is honey, lemon and turmeric,

Why does it work you ask me, then here's why:

Honey, as we all know, is extremely hydrating and and has anti-inflammatory properties. It has four major skin benefits:

• Moisturising
• Acne control
• Anti ageing
•  Complexion boost

Lemon is rich in vitamin C and has a mild bleaching effect on the skin too. It is anti bacterial and boosts skin tone as well.
 

Turmeric is the universal saviour for me. It is anti-inflammatory and reduces scars and pigmentation of the skin.


The bottom line is if you too are facing dry skin issues then try this mask for 3 weeks on every alternate day (or night). Apply it for 20 minutes over a cleansed face and wash off with normal running water. Pat dry and massage a little with a moisturiser afterwards.

Do lemme know if this worked for you too.

Creams and lotions are an indispensable part of a woman's life. No matter the age, occupation orgo to creams. Now with winters just around the corner, many of us would have already thought of buying a new cream or lotion, whether the one already using or a new one.

The question is, these days TVCs and Internet is full of Oils and its benefits, like using oils over your face and body. However, unlike creams, many are unaware of its uses and advantages, and find themselves shifting between creams and oils. Here a quick guide to help you decide whether you need a cream or oil.


Acne prone skin

Over active oil glands are responsible for skin being acne prone. Though this doesn't mean you can't enjoy the benefit of oils on your face. Oils like tea tree and argan have anti bacterial properties, so these might work for such skin. Drink lots of water and wash your face everytime you feel too much dust or sweat on your skin.
Oily skin

Just because you have Oil in your skin, doesn't mean you cannot use one. Use oils that are light weight and get easily absorbed by the skin. Oils that have haling properties like jojoba. tea tree and rosehip are best recommended for this type of skin. When selecting creams, go for light creams (obviously) which also have shine control.


Dry skin

Dry skin is sensitive to few natural ingredients and even gets rashes easily due to lack of moisture and natural oils in the skin. This does not mean any oil is good for dry skin, rather opt for  soothing creams with mild ingredients. In case you really want to use oil on your skin, then opt for coconut oil as it is mild and also reduces redness and irritation and hydrates well too.


Normal skin

So you have the best of both worlds. Mix a few drops of jojoba, argan or marula to your daily light moisturizer and flaunt your skin like anything.
