A perfect guide for healthier skin

According to the skin specialists and dermatologists, one needs to work hard to get their nutrition, lifestyle, mood and of course skin care right in order to have a healthier skin

Leading skin specialists and dermatologists say that Indians were always admired for their beautiful skin but as our lifestyles modernised, nutrition and skin started feeling the heat

Skin experts specifies where we are going wrong in skin care.

What are the leading factors that cause unhealthy skin especially for Indian skin?

"First is lifestyle because Indians were always admired for the beautiful skin we had and the way we aged later than the rest of the world, not just because genetically we have a pigmented brown skin. It was because of the lifestyle we led – we ate clean, we never kept the food for the next day, we didn't eat too much outside food," experts suggest.

In every household people woke up early in the morning, slept at a particular time, therefore the hormonal secretions were well maintained. It led to our skin being nice.

Why the Indian skin is going bad is because we are completely aping the the world.

Glowing skin has become everyone's want, but glow comes from a good texture and even tone and a healthy body.

One needs to work hard to get their nutrition right, lifestyle right, mood right and of course skin care right.

What makeup products must we avoid for better skin? "A lot of the times we use products which are meant for the Western skin, made by the Westerners."

It is mostly very humid and very dusty here, but we see many layers (of makeup) on the face. We don't need as many creams and serums and toners, because it's mostly a dusty and sticky environment. You need to do what suits your ambience, temperature and humidity.

Do experts think we must focus on skin care as opposed to makeup?

Who doesn't want to have flawless skin? Makeup is beautiful, you can add a little colour to the lip, to the cheek and to your eyelids. Enhance your beauty with makeup, but don't use it to cover up. Take good care of your skin. Any painting looks good on a clean canvas.

Some tips so makeup doesn't harm skin.

Use products from a reputed company, they are usually well-researched. Remove makeup before you go to bed. Use a good remover. While applying the makeup base, use your fingers or a disposable sponge, not a brush. Save the brush for an eyeshadow, blush and the like.

While talking about beauty supplements, experts say, "Getting the nutrients out of nutrition is difficult even if you are taking a balanced diet. So beauty supplements will give you a measured, consistent daily dose of the essential nutrition required for skin and hair. I recommend them but be watchful of what you are taking."
