CHOOSE ORGANIC THAN NON-ORGANIC ONES

If you are an avid fan of organic products, then let me congratulate and thank you for that. And if you are not, then you might want to try these amazing organic products which you can primarily find in your kitchen:

• • Lemon juice extract and egg white as a facial mask – putting these two together could be one of your heroic deeds. Lemon juice extract is proven to brightens the skin, the egg white soothes or calms the tired skin. This facial mask could be good to rinse between 10-15 minutes.

• • Cucumber-lemon juice ice cubes – who know that cucumber can be a good ingredient for skincare? Well, you only need to blend cucumber and lemon extract. After that, put it on an ice tray until it turns into cubes. You can use this when you go home after a tiring day at work. It effectively calms the tired looking skin making it fresh and smooth.

These are only some of the extensive list of kitchen products you could choose from. Non-organic products may contain harmful chemicals that may contribute to worsening your skin condition especially if you have a sensitive skin like me. It is most likely advisable to use mild products or most probably the organic products which are more accessible and affordable. You could at least try one of it and see the difference for yourself.

DO EXERCISE AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE

Here we go again, another part of an article suggesting for you to often do exercise. Why not? Aren’t you aware of the unparalleled benefits of exercise to your mind and body? If not, then keep on reading and be enlightened with the following.

Exercise helps the overall regulation of your blood. It is advised for a person to at least lend a 15- minute physical activity daily. Why? Because exercise is kind of an alarm to your blood cells to be active too. When you have an active blood cell, you are more likely to have a healthier looking skin. How does it help in minimizing pores? Well, when you exercise, your pores are more likely to open up because of the heat that you can feel during your physical activity. When your pores are open, and you sweat, the stocked dirt and impurities in the surface are easily washed away. You might see a more effective and satisfying result if you get a quick shower after your exercise.

You don’t need to go out on the gym to do this, simply invest in the basic workout equipment that you can do at home. Without hustle and without getting into a bustle.

AVOID EXPOSURE TO TOO MUCH HEAT AND POLLUTION

If you are prone to having pores, avoid getting to too much sun exposure and pollution. Too much sun exposure might give you skin disease or you are more likely to develop acne. Because your pores are opening up when you are exposed to heat, with the dirt and impurities, it gets stuck on your pores that may cause acne or skin irritation.

If your job is more exposed to heat or pollution, you are advised to wear face masks and sunblock. The use of face mask may prevent the dirt and impurities to get directly on your face, also it will serve as your main protection under the sun. Moreover, the use of sunblock is advisable, so you can have a protection from harmful UV rays that may cause skin cancer or sunburns.

CONSISTENCY IN HEALTHY FOODS DIET

A healthy lifestyle isn’t complete without a healthy and balanced diet. If you get used to eating whenever you want, then think again.

A healthy and balanced diet means saying goodbye to too much junk foods, soft drink, and fatty foods. If you want to have a pore-clear skin, then you are advised to stop eating your sinful cravings.  Just try to give everything up one by one, you don’t have to torture yourself by doing this immediately. Learn to stock fruits and green leafy vegetable on your fridge. Search for the DIY smoothies which you can have for breakfast. It would be hard at first but you would slowly get used to it,

Because if you would have the courage to turn into a healthy lifestyle, you would see the results in you and your face. You would notice that you are looking and feeling younger as time goes by. Your self-esteem increases, and you get to inspire the people around you.
