How to get Soft, Beautiful and Youthful hands:

Do you want to have soft, supple and youthful hands?

Pamper your hands with tender loving care and follow these simple points:

1.  Moisturize:

Keep your moisturizer somewhere close -within easy access, so that you can apply it on your hands time and again everyday especially during winters. As every time you wash your hands they strip off some moisture, so in order to compensate the moisture loss you need to smear on the moisturizer at regular intervals. Apply the moisturizer on your cuticles as well to avoid cracking and drying.

2.  Apply Sunscreen:

As far as sun protection is concerned, we concentrate on our face and neck and forget about the hands. As our hands are exposed to sun even they need protection from harmful UV rays.  So, don’t forget to apply sunscreen with SPF 15-30 on your hands before leaving home.

3.  Gentle wash:

Use a mild and anti-bacterial soap/hand wash to prevent dryness (as dryness can cause the hands to look older).

4.  Protection during domestic chores:

Always wear gloves while washing the dishes or whenever your hands are exposed to harsh detergents and hot water.

Dark chocolate keeps you young:

Chocolates are quite irresistible and once we begin to eat, it becomes difficult to control the sweet temptations.

Do you know the delicious bar can even "Turn back the clock"!!!

Chocolate (especially dark chocolate) is rich in antioxidants and contains anti-aging properties as well. It increases the production of collagen which helps in skin tightening and renewal, thereby delaying the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

It imparts a healthy glow to your skin keeping it young and glowing.

Note: Stick on to unsweetened and high-quality chocolate (with at least 70 percent cocoa) not the sugary milk bars.

Home remedies to get rid of pimples fast:

1. Ice:

Ice aids in the reduction of redness, swelling and inflammation of pimples in a short span. Just wrap the ice cube in a cotton handkerchief and hold it on the affected area for few seconds then wait for few seconds and again do the same (repeat the process for 5 minutes). This will help in improving the blood circulation, removing the excess oil, tightening the skin pores and thereby quickly healing the affected area.

2. Toothpaste:

The white toothpaste that you use to clean your teeth can be used to cure pimples as well. This remedy is really effective when used after ice remedy. Just apply the toothpaste on the affected area before going to bed and rinse your face the following morning. Follow this remedy religiously for few weeks; you will definitely witness a significant improvement in your skin.

Note: Don’t use gel based toothpaste. Go for the regular white toothpaste.

3. Lemon:

Lemon juice is a miracle cure for pimples as it helps pimples to dry up faster. Take a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice mix a tablespoon of honey in it. Apply the concoction on the affected area for 10-15 minutes (using a cotton ball) and rinse it off with lukewarm water.

4. Garlic:

Another quick remedy to get rid of pimples is a garlic clove. Cut a garlic clove into two and rub it on the affected area. Leave it for 5 minutes and rinse it off with lukewarm water.

Note: For better results eat a raw garlic clove daily as it helps in blood purification.

5. Tea Tree Oil:

The anti-bacterial properties of tea tree oil make it an excellent cure for acne and pimples. It helps in fighting bacteria and soothes the skin by reducing redness and inflammation of pimples. Take a few drops of tea tree oil and mix a tablespoon of Aloe Vera gel in it and dab the mixture on the affected area using a cotton ball. Leave it for 15-20 minutes and then rinse it off.

Winter skin woes-Tips to stay protected:

Turn down hot water bath (though irresistible) and avoid the use of soaps during winters. As, harsh soaps and hot water tend to strip your skin of its natural oils making it rough and dry.

• Always use lukewarm water.  

• As far as possible, go for home made body packs and choose a moisturizing soap/body wash enriched with emollients like Cocoa butter, Shea butter, Aloevera, Milk cream etc.

• Always nourish your body with a daily moisturizer to restore its moisture, after the shower.
