Toxic Air
Air pollution in ten Indian cities assumed alarming proportions and was linked to deaths of 33,000 people every year between 2008 and 2019, a study published on 6 July 2024 in the Lancet Planetary Health Journal points out.
Let’s admit it! Not everyone is blessed with glowing, flawless skin. However, that does not mean it is an impossible feat to achieve. Yes, you’ll be happy to know that achieving flawless skin is as easy as walking to your kitchen. Because that’s where you’ll find the right ingredients to pamper your skin with.
While we all have a standard cleansing-toning-moisturizing routine that we religiously follow, your skin also needs some extra care and attention once in a while to look healthy and hydrated. Skin issues such as pigmentation, acne, blemishes, and signs of premature aging tend to bring your skin health down. Therefore, it’s important to reach for natural ingredients and keep your skin game going strong.
So, here are a few easy-peasy steps to help you flaunt naturally flawless skin in 2022…

1. Keep out of the sun as much as possible
This is the single best preventive strategy to avoid premature aging and the risk of developing skin cancer. Outdoors, wear a wide-brimmed hat and loose, light, long-sleeved clothing rather than shorts and brief tops.
2. Developing a Skin Care Routine
Determine your skin type. Is it oily, dry, normal, or a combination of either? To do this, wash your face, let it dry and leave your face completely untouched for an hour. Inspect by dabbing a tissue between your nose and cheek, called the T-zone.
3. Eat a diet high in natural fiber
Digestive problems can result in skin blemishes. Good health starts from the inside out, so include lots of fruit, raw vegetables, and whole grains in your diet.
4. Moisturize your face every day
As well as minimizing the appearance of fine lines and countering flakiness and dryness, a rich moisturizer will plump up your skin, creating a smoother, more even appearance.
5. Drink plenty of water
Your skin should contain about 15 percent water. However, in air-conditioned offices where the humidity level is around 10 percent, this moisture evaporates faster than it can be replaced.
6. Give your skin time to rest and breathe
Occasionally, cleanse it thoroughly and set aside times where you leave it free of moisturizers and make-up. Your skin will benefit from deep cleansing. For best results, do this after facial or facial steam.
7. Exercise
Regular aerobic exercise gives you instantly glowing skin and it’s also a great natural foundation for good health. Choose an activity that you enjoy and make it part of your daily routine.
