Grandmother’s beauty tips

Like every year, this year also brought in a lot of resolutions that we promised to keep. One such common resolution was pampering our skin and while there is a huge possibility that we have done absolutely nothing towards it. But there is something about grandma’s tips that create a sense of credibility one could always fall back upon. One can easily follow tips which are simple and easy.

Wash your face twice

Let’s start with the basics. To have a healthy and clear skin you must wash whatever has gotten accumulated on the surface of your skin. An unclean skin will block your pores and not only make it dull-looking but will also trigger problems like acne and allergies. While two is not a fixed number it is nevertheless the least you could do.

Use ubtan

Grandmothers during their times did not have a plethora of beauty products that we have today. Thus, there’s a huge part inside them that wants their children to abstain from chemical-based products. One such way is by using homemade ubtans regularly. One of the easiest and oldest ubtans in grandma’s book is besan curd pack. Just mix some besan (gram flour) along with 2 tablespoons of curd and 1 tablespoon of honey. Mix it thoroughly and apply it evenly on your face. Once it has dried out, use some rose water to scrub it off.

Eat healthy

You are what you eat. It’s as simple as it sounds. Eating healthy food and increasing your dependency on fruits is going to help your skin in the long run.

Drink plenty of water

One thing that you cannot skip upon is drinking 3 litres of water each day regardless of the weather. Drinking water can help you flush out toxins which clear all the pimples and bumps from the surface of your skin.

Have a skin regime

Even if it just includes washing your face and moisturizing it, have a skin regime. Having a skin regime is similar to having a balanced diet for your skin.

Moisturize it

Having oily skin doesn’t mean you don’t need to moisturize. It simply means you need a moisturizer which is more forgiving on your skin. If you are someone who has dry skin, then moisturizing with coconut oil can be your best bet. — IANS
