As Sri Sri Ravi Shankar rightly said, ‘Beauty is an inner phenomenon. It is not found in objects, people, or even in the eyes of the beholder. It lies in the heart of every person’. Glowing skin is a result of proper skincare. It means you can wear less makeup and still own luminous skin.
Beauty treatments in the market may or may not stimulate innate beauty, which mirrors healthy and glowing skin inside-out.
And although certain skincare treatments cater to only a particular skin type, here are nine essential beauty tips that will help all skin types get that much needed radiant glow.
1. The skin shouldn’t be left bare for more than 60 seconds after cleansing
After cleansing, the skin becomes dry. A moisturizer, when applied within 60 seconds after washing, penetrates quickly and easily into the skin. Moisturizing prevents drying and tightening of the skin.
2. Use products with energizing and stimulating agents
Circulation of the skin decreases with age, so products containing peppermint, niacinamide, Vitamin B12, and ginseng root extract can tighten skin, enhance blood circulation, and bring about a natural skin glow.
The Derma Co.’s Ceramide + HA Intense Moisturizer is a gentle moisturizer that helps you get back your youthful skin. Regular application of this moisturizer will protect your skin’s moisture barrier, dilate blood vessels, and induce skin radiance.
3. Hanging the head upside down guarantee glowing skin
Practicing this per day will help evenly distribute nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells. Your face will get a slightly flushed look due to the sudden blood rush.
4. Use soothing agents to repair skin’s moisture barrier
