Skincare tips
सकाळी एकदा घराबाहेर पडलात की कामाच्या व्यापात स्वतःकडे पहायला उसंतही नसते. मग अशावेळी सौंदर्याची विशेष काळजी कशी घ्याल? मग रोज सकाळी सुंदर दिसण्यासाठी काही सवयीच स्वतःला लावून घेतल्या तर ?

Our face is our front to the world. While the body is all covered up in clothes, the face bears the brunt of exposure to sun, dust and pollutants. As a result, every evening when you return home there is a toxic layer of dirt and grime stuck to the upper dermis of your face. This dirt not only settles on the skin but also clogs the facial pores, causing long term problems. Clogged facial pores result in infection and acne breakouts. While most of us do wash our faces every evening, we do not realise that a superficial wash, which does wash out the upper layer of dirt, does not cleanse the pores of the skin.

If you desire a healthy blemish-free skin, daily cleansing is the first step to get it. Cleansing, toning and moisturising are the three essential components of skincare. If you do not cleanse your skin, you cannot treat it further with creams and moisturisers. Also Read - Korean skincare routines for radiant and flawless skin

5 Quick and easy cleansing routines

Since most of us are too lazy to adopt elaborate skincare practices into our routines, here are five easy and quick cleansing routines that can be adopted in daily life recommended by Dr Chiranjiv Chhabra, Dermatologist, Skin Alive clinic, Delhi and NCR.

Oil cleansing: Using simple oils like castor oil, olive oil and even coconut oil for cleansing can do wonders for your skin. It is good for dry dehydrated ageing skin. Warm up a little oil, spread it on your fingers and massage it thoroughly across your face for few minutes. The oil will dissolve the impurities stuck on your skin and inside the facial pores while the massage will also help improve blood circulation. This will even remove makeup from your skin. Then use a soft towel, dip it in hot water and squeeze it to drain the water. Now leave this towel on your oiled face for few minutes and wipe thoroughly. This helps in deep cleansing facial pores and lifting the impurities. Here are 6 expert tips to shrink large, open pores.

Cleanse and scrub: A cleansing and exfoliation routine is another wonderful way to cleanse your skin. First wash your face with a face wash to remove superficial impurities. Then wipe cleanse your face with a cleansing milk to dissolve and remove dirt and makeup from deep inside pores. Now use an effective facial scrub on your face. You can use a professional product or even prepare one at home. For home facial scrub: Moderately ground masur dal or sugar which has fine granules can also work well as a skin exfoliator. Make sure you are not harsh on your skin while scrubbing. After gently scrubbing the face, wash it lukewarm water. Splash normal water in the end. This routine also makes the skin more receptable to further treatments like moisturising. Get glowing skin at home with this honey and coffee scrub.

Scrub with washing: If you are really busy and want a real quick way to cleanse your facial pores, add some fine sugar or ground masur dal into liberal quantity of your regular face wash and add a small quantity of a cream-based thick moisturiser to make a paste. Massage this combination all over your face in slow circular motions for 5 minutes before washing it off. Use this as a combination every 2-3 days to scrub and wash your skin. Here are 10 natural, home-made scrubs to get rid of dead skin cells.

Besan and turmeric: Besan and turmeric are two common kitchen ingredients which have been used as beauty products for centuries. Put together besan, and turmeric powder with rose water, aloe vera gel and a few drops of milk to make a paste. Apply this paste to your face, leave for a few minutes and then use wet hands to scrub this paste away. This acts as a combination of cleanser, toner and skin lightener. Besides being a skin lightener, turmeric also has antibacterial properties and helps prevent bacterial infections. You can also banish dandruff, acne scars, hair fall and more with methi or fenugreek.

Medi facials: A quick visit to a dermatologist once a few months can go a long way in preventing your skin problems. Medical facials are different from the routine facial massages offered at beauty parlours. They are medicinal skin treatments which are customised to your skin s specific needs. An aesthetic physician will first examine your skin and then recommend the right medical ingredients to be used in your medi facial. A Cleansing Medi-Facial will include a gentle cleansing of your skin followed by gentle extractions of blackheads and whiteheads stuck inside and clean up the clogged pores followed by a ultrasonic or microdermabrasion treatment. They help improve blood circulation and scrub away the dead cells from the skin and leave the skin healthy and glowing. You may also want to read: Your dermatologist s guide to manage open pores.
