Although the things I shared here are applicable for everyone but I specifically written this for all the mom s, being at home or working and juggling up with so many responsibilities. Just want to tell you, you are amazingly beautiful, just you need is a little more care for yourself.

1. Fix your face washing mistakes

Face washing is very important step to keep your skin clean. But here are the points you should know to maintain the natural moisture and GLOW of your face-

1) Use right cleanser according to your skin type. Gel based for oily skin and cream based for sensitive skin.

2) Never wash your face too frequently. Even if you are washing only with water, its stripping off your natural moisture from face. So twice a day face wash is sufficient.

3) Moisturizer should be applied on damp skin. Do not wait for your skin to completely dry after washing your face. This will allow your moisturizer to absorb more easily.

2. Check your Sunscreen

Sunscreen should be the most important part of your daily routine. This helps you delaying your aging and prevent tanning and uneven pigmentation. So, if you are not using it

1) Start it from today. If you are already using it, check the SPF. Minimum should be 30 SPF. In hot sunny days and outdoor travelling’s, you can level up to 50 SPF

2) Understand that SPF should not be the only check factor as it only blocks UVB. The star rating of the sunscreen also matters.

3) Understand that single application of sunscreen never works whole day. You need to reapply it after 2-3 hr. and Even if you are using sunscreen do not forget to use physical covers like Big Goggles, wide brim hats and full sleeves cloths.
