Introduction: Revitalize your Facial Skin

Revitalizing your facial skin: Firm, wrinkle free, and flawless: the kind of complexion and tone we all wish to have. Most of us have thin, translucent, and glistening skin as newborn babies, however as we grow and evolve, our skin starts getting exposed to the various natural resources around us, causing it to flake and age. The cruel irony is that nature, air, and other environmental conditions which we appreciate, in return, harm our skin if it is not protected correctly and in a timely manner.

Revitalize your skin and try out this inexpensive facial routine recommended by BiE’s skin guru, Dinyar Workingboxwalla to restore your facial skin back to its former glory.

Incorporate an Inexpensive Facial Routine for Skin Rejuvenation

1. Cold water: It is the secret to good, glowing, and firm skin. Freeze ice cubes or water in a refrigerator and rub/use them on your face to stimulate blood circulation and promote tight-pored, glowing, and youthful skin. It is a secret tip used by many elite women who are extremely watchful of what they put on their skin.

2. Cleanse your face carefully and use an effective and gentle face wash. After washing your face, sprinkle some edible rose water on your face with the help of a water sprinkler. The more rose water you splash, the better it is for your skin. Dry your skin gently without using force. You might get a tingly effect from the rose water if it’s very cold.

3. Pat dry your face gently instead of rubbing a towel aggressively against your skin.

4. Apply your skincare products like serum, night cream, and moisturizer on damp skin and gently massage the product on your face. Pat the products in to ensure greater absorption.

5. Stressing and worrying is the root cause of the exacerbation of skin issues. Stress is your skin’s worst enemy. Despite stress being the driving force behind a lot of actions in your life, too much of it leads to acne, wrinkles, migraines, and emotional unrest. Excessive stress also increases your chances of getting a fatal heart attack. You will never be able to attain real beauty or health if you allow stress to take charge of your life. Stress also causes premature aging. The alarming factor here is, stress is not only seen on the face, but also on your body and health. What you feel and think on the inside, manifests on the outside. So, to alleviate stress, try to discard the emotions, fear, worry or uncertainty that aggravate it. I would say, stressing only emits negative vibrations in the universe but you can get through most of your life by learning to conquer your fears, worries, and stress. People often try to escape from problems, but I would suggest you find a plausible solution to fight it. I strongly recommend using good thoughts as an armor against all your problems.

Think of yourself as a young, beautiful person and that is what you will gradually become.

A list of Dos for Achieving for Radiant Skin

Dos:

1. Like I said, hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate.

   Hydration is the ultimate solution for skin. It is vital you incorporate water into your skincare routine, because it acts as a moisturizer and lubricator for skin. It aids in alleviating the signs of premature aging too. It is imperative that you hydrate yourself internally and on the outside. I advise you to drink at least 10-12 big glasses of water in a day. It is an effective facial cleanser and helps in improving your skin’s complexion too.

2. Never apply moisturizer on unclean and dry skin. Damp skin increases the effectiveness of a moisturizer.

3. Birth control pills are the worst for your skin. While treating disorders like PCOD, many doctors prescribe birth control pills, however I do not approve of them.

4. Always apply serum before stepping out of your house. There is a myth that you must allow your skin to breathe. Perhaps, contrary to popular belief, you must always protect your face with a skin protector. You can allow your body to breathe, but not your face. Skin without any protection allows environmental pollutants, aggressors, and antioxidants to attack your skin further.

5. Exercise is essential for your body and facial glow. Exercising not only helps in toning your body, but also in skin brightening. Why? Because the blood rushes to the surface of the skin. Blood brings more oxygen, nutrients and vitamins to the surface of the skin. And plumps up the skin. If you’re dieting to lose weight, do not lose more than a kilo per week. Drastic weight loss can cause more muscular loss on your face, causing it to sag, prematurely.

6. I recommend everyone to take proper vitamin supplements. I'm a great believer in supplements for skin tightening and firming.

7. Try to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep in a day. At night, your skin gets the time to repair and rejuvenate. Your skin requires that time to repair itself and glow the next morning.

8. Incorporate a lot of fruits and vegetables into your diet. They contain roughage, which regulates the digestive system and cleanses the stomach, aiding in optimal gut health. Keeping the gut healthy is the most important factor in achieving clean and clear skin.

9. Thoroughly wash your face twice a day. Clean off all the dirt, grime, pollutants, and stale makeup that accumulates on the skin throughout the day. Many people claim that they don’t apply makeup or go out often, so why do they need to wash their face? Well, it's as good as you keeping your furniture dirty at home and not cleaning it everyday. Cleansing your face is very important to get rid of all the dust and grime that builds up on the face, followed by a moisturizer and serum.

Think young and beautiful. It is within your reach.

Steps to Avoid before your Skin Loses its Elasticity.

1. People often look down or slouch while sitting, working, or using their phone. Don’t do that. This way you’re severely harming your cervical spine, as it’s trained to constantly look down and over a period of time it could cause your neck to lose elasticity. Your neck should always be parallel to the floor. While working on your phone or laptop, if you cannot look straight, put a pile of books underneath your laptop. This will help your neck be parallel. I have also observed, people usually frown or touch their forehead a lot when in stress. Stop doing that right away. Frowning results in the formation of lines and wrinkles, leading to premature aging.

   

2. Chew your food correctly. The proper way of chewing your food is by using both sides of the mouth. Often people chew their food on only one side, which allows only one side of the face muscles to function.

3. Avoid wrinkling your nose when you smile or laugh. Do not laugh when your skin is moving towards the temple of the face. When you laugh or smile, do not squint. Both these lead to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Avoid movement around the eyebrows while gesturing, smiling or laughing. Try to keep a straight face while practicing these actions, as it helps keep the face firmer and tighter for a longer period of time.

4. Never look at the bright sun without your sunglasses. This could be detrimental to your eyes as well as the skin around them. When you look at the sun without any eyesight protection, you tend to squint, causing a potentially permanent network of fine lines around the eyes.

   

5. Do not use large or medium-sized pillows. It could prove to be dangerous for your cervical spine. Entering the land of nod with the right tools is very important, as this is the time your body slips into rejuvenation mode,re-energizing your body for the next day. If you are dismissive of the importance of correct sleeping tools like pillows - their height and shape - and bedsheets, you could be jeopardizing your sleeping patterns, postures, and the benefits that come along with them. Use a soft U-shaped pillow, as it gives adequate and comfortable support to your neck, head, and back.

   When you wake up in the morning, the lines on skin that has been pressed or folded overnight tend to fade away. However, over the years, those lines become permanent if not properly taken care of.

   Always apply sunscreen or any kind of protection on your face and the body to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Without protection, the hands and face develop age and sun spots.

Conclusion

In a nutshell, as we grow, our skin also grows and ages with us. As advocated by many skin specialists, we lose 1 % of collagen every year. Perhaps, it is vital we delve into the world of rejuvenative skincare and start prioritizing our skin at an indicative stage. All it takes are a few shifts in your daily skincare routine and a tad bit of consistency and you’ll be on your way to your former skin glory.
