Getting up each morning is one thing and looking fresh and energized is another. With the current age hectic lifestyles, most women tend to ignore themselves and their beauty regimes. The damage that your skin and hair suffer due to your negligence may at times be irreparable. Here are the most essential morning beauty regime tips that every woman should follow to maintain a healthy skin, especially this summer.

It is a common misconception that only expensive skin treatments and costly skin products can make your skin look radiant. Although, there is no doubt about the fact that good brands apart from being expensive, deliver the quality they commit. But you can also look beautiful and have glowing skin by following these simple steps each morning before starting your day. At iParivartan we recommend you to stick to the basics and use natural products as far as possible.

 

1.    A good wash along with exfoliation

Your day does not start on a fresh note until you wash your face as soon as you get up. After a good night's sleep it is essential to wash you face with a gentle face cleanser to make it look radiant. Face cleansers should be chosen according to skin type and strong ones such as those that are anti-acne should be avoided on a regular basis. Exfoliating the skin with a gentle scrub is also recommended at least two times in a week to scrub off the dead skin that makes the face look dull and lifeless. After that you should dab a face towel on your face (and not rub the towel on your face).


2.    Toning and moisturising

For flawless skin you must cleanse, tone and moisturise your face, at least twice a day. Follow this routine once in the morning, before applying any make-up, and once before going to bed. A good toner is essential in your skin care regime as it helps the skin to maintain the proper pH balance and also shrink the pores. Toning should be followed by the application of a cream or gel based moisturiser depending upon your skin type. Dermatologists, however, do not recommend cream-based moisturisers for people with oily and acne-prone skin.


3.    A neutral colour blush

Beauty experts say that a nicely done base with a compact face powder along with a subtle blush shade is the perfect make-up solution. It takes less than 10 seconds to apply, and adds grace and elegance to your face. But make sure you stay clear of using loud shades on your cheeks. That could turn out to be a total disaster. Always buy and apply make-up according to your skin tone.


4.    Well-defined eyes

Applying an eye-liner might look as a very difficult and time consuming task to some. But with enough practice, your hand gets used to it and it can be perfected in one stroke. Well defined eyes always make an impression. Even if you do not have the time to do anything else, apply a thin layer of eye-liner on the upper eyelid and a eye pencil on the lower one; and let your eyes do all the talking!


5.    Lip gloss

Your look is incomplete without glossy colourful lips. If you are not a big fan of loud lip colours, you can go for a transparent gloss/lip balm/lip butter. For women with fairer complexions, colours like blood red or hot pink do wonders. For someone with dusky skin tone, earthy colours such as peach or softer shade of pink or a neutral brown would be perfect. Nowadays, good brands offer a wide variety of lip colours and glosses that have moisturising elements in them that hydrate the lips along with giving them a glossy coat.


6.    Afternoon hydration

As far as possible hydrate your skin at noon by washing with enough water and reapply your foundation, kajal and lip gloss.


7.    Hydrate from inside out

Ensure you drink plenty of water each day - atleast three litres - to clear spots and hydrate skin. Bad skin quality can also be caused by a poor diet and lack of vitamins, so make sure you eat plenty of fruit, protein (especially if you are vegetarian), and get enough exercise. We're sure you've had this preached to you thousand of times before but trust us, it works!
