Dreaming of having pristine and dewy-soft skin? Or are you one of the precious few who have it and are fretting about how to keep it that way? Tired of reading about sunscreen and toning and seaweed face packs? Well, we have nothing against those solutions, but we’re tired of them too. Hence, this back-to-the-basics list of 7 easy solutions for a great complexion.
1. Drink water: Yes you’ve heard it before, but this works and is as easy as…drinking water. Eight to ten glasses will wash out the toxins from your system, cleaning up your body and face!
2. Keep your face clean: This is an old one too…but we all know that old is gold. If you have oily skin, wash your face in cool water as often as you can and pat dry. This will prevent clogged pores and blackheads.
3. Keep hair away: Hair carries dust, oil and sometimes dandruff. None of these things contribute to a glowingly clear face. So tie your hair back so that it is not in constant contact with the sides of your face or your forehead.
4. Facials and clean-ups only once every 2 months: Do not fall into the trap of frequent beauty treatments. Steaming and applying packs etc on your face too often will tire and disturb the natural balance of your skin.
5. Moisturize at night: It’s protection during the day and prevention at night. Your skin repairs itself while you sleep. So a light night cream, after removing all make-up will gently assist your skin’s rejuvenation process.
6. Home beauty treatments: You don’t have to trust your face to the care of the experts every time. Your refrigerator and green grocer has some amazing skin care products. Some cold milk dabbed on with cotton will instantly refresh and re-hydrate. A slice of chilled tomato rubbed over your face thrice a week will lighten dark spots and kindle the glow. A face scrub of sugar and olive oil will polish away dead skin and oil wells.
7. Sleep: The easiest of all beauty treatments is also among the most effective. Heard the term ‘beauty sleep’? Well it’s not grandmotherly lore. The prescribed 7-8 hours of sound sleep will prevent wrinkled skin, dull and puffy eyes and dark circles. That’s a big contribution towards a more beautiful you.
So take a good look at yourself in the mirror and head for your kitchen. You will look and feel great when you come back out!

Dear Eileen,
You say you’ve lose weight on your face. Have you lost a lot of body weight as well? Are you eating healthy? Try including tons of fruits, veggies and water in your diet.
My nose is pink/red all the time what should I do?
Hi Erika,

It’s got plenty of info and I hope you find it helpful :)
my skin was really fair n glowing… but now it has drastically changed it has become dark n patchy .. i am jst 16 n need ur help urgently….
Hey Ronika,
Are you eating enough veggies and fruits? Also OD on water. WHat kind of patches are they? Some patches may need professional advice just to be sure it isn’t anything serious.
hi
I am a player i frequently go out in the sun.my problem is i became so dark that no product is working on my face.i am really upset on my complexion.please help me with this problem.
hey niharika,
based on your location, i’d say you should probably go for a sunblock with an SPF factor over 45. also this would depend on your skin color. the fairer you are, the higher SPF factor you’ll need.
To have a beautiful skin avoid parlours & use homemade products .
Be happy it will show on your face
Drink lots of water
Hey Diana,
you have a very interesting point there.. if you’re happy, it shows on your skin too! I don’t base this on any scientific study that i’ve read but on personal experiences. Do keep commenting diana!
but my skin is not accepting any kind of products on my face.not even any sun block would u pls tell me something that i can make in my home. so that i can improve my complexion.my skin is oily.
hey niharika,
i’m not entirely sure I get your issue sweetie.. what do you mean when you say that your skin is not accepting any products? Do they not work for you or is the skin reacting to these products (rashes, acne, etc.)?
If it is the latter, then it might be a good idea to refer to a dermatologist who’ll be able to help you get products that work with your skin.
Hi, since i remember iv always had a red face. it seems to run in the family as we all go red really easily. it usually happens when im embarressed or doing a sport, but is there a way i can stop or at least tone it down, as i seem to have it the worst in my family, and its really embarressing. Even if im doing a general day to day activity it still is really bad, thanks in advance, louise
Hey Louise,
I’m sure honey that it must be an issue to turn red very easily. I remember seeing a show on discovery about not-so-common conditions in humans which included the face turning red. It’s nothing harmful, but just that there won’t be any over the counter products or home remedies that could help you. I suggest you visit a dermatologist for this and discuss it with him.
