Healthy Skin is Sexy Skin


Having beautiful skin calls for a commitment on your part. Go for a regimen that is best suited for you and your lifestyle. Consistency is key here.

From Drab to Fab
Radiance comes from within but sometimes you need a little help. Here are some fast-track tricks that simplify your beauty routine.
  • Rethink your cleansing regimen. Bar soaps are usually very alkaline and strip natural oils from the skin. You need a cleanser that doesn't dry you out. Post cleansing, always use a moisturizer that contains glycerin and has a thick consistency.
  • Avoid taking multiple showers throughout the day as it can wreck havoc with your skin. Always moisturize immediately after showering.
  • Overnight hydration is extremely important. Always use a nighttime face lotion.
  • While the general rule is to exfoliate twice a week, stay away from harsh scrubs. Exfoliate using fruit acids derived from papaya, pumpkin and pineapple.
  • A facial massage can help relieve stress and give a healthy glow. However do not over massage or touch your face too often.
  • The skin around the eye is very sensitive. Avoid greasy eye creams that have a high concentration of oil which creates puffiness.



Want to get your skin back in shape? Put yourself on a healthy diet. Eat these foods for immediate results.
  • Broccoli, spinach and other dark veggies are rich in minerals and an antidote to wrinkles.
  • Olive oil makes your skin supple and gives it a healthy glow.
  • Drinking fresh vegetable juice gives you an instant rosy-cheek effect.
A Clean and detoxified system is the secret to glowing and healthy skin.

  • Hydrated and soft to touch
