1. Protect yourself from the sun

We know, we don’t live in the world that is any way safer. Even our skins are not safe from the sunlight as we are depleting our Ozone. the sunlight has high UV rays which can cause skin burn, skin rash and other skin problems such as skin allergies, skin cancer and irritations.

For healthy skin, you need to protect yourself from sun, especially in summers. because, i cant suggest you to stay home in summers. So here is what you can do:

Wear a sunscreen: invest in a good sunscreen. If you think sunscreens can cause whiteness and layered texture to skin, apply it fifteen minutes prior leaving house, keep yourself under a fan or cool place. let your skin absorb it and then leave your house. this will also reduce sweat which is caused by wearing sunscreen. Also, this is a good hack for those who wish to wear makeup in summers.
Seek protection: Have an umbrella, caps and try walking in shades. This is must for if you are under direct sun during 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Wear full clothes: Try wearing full sleeves shirts and pants. This will help reduce direct impact of sunlight on your skin.

To have a healthy skin, you need to have a healthy life. Smoking is not good for health and skin. Excessive smoking leads to wrinkles on your face.

Replace Lotions and moisturizers with Aloe Vera: If you have access to fresh Aloe Vera, cut out a stem, rub it on face, neck and skin. keep it until you want it on the body.
Replace Eye creams with potatoes: if you have time, cut thin slice of potatoes and place on your eyes, just like cucumbers. This will help in reducing the eye bags and dark circles. If you can’t do this, rub the potatoes under and above the eyes for a while.
Go for fruits: I prefer making fruit masks. I wear orange and strawberry masks, simply by rubbing them across my skin. Also, I love rubbing some watermelon and tomatoes to brighten up my skin!
Rice water: soak in some rice for 30 minutes, keep the water, and refrigerate it. spray on skin to get a gloss look. you can use it for up to 3-4 days!

Your body reflects your lifestyle. What you eat, and what choices regarding your health you make reflect on your outer-self. For instance, intaking high amount of sugars can reflect on weight and pimples and acne. A very high proteins diet can cause body to swell. Oily Foods can cause different issues from Cholesterol and pimples. Have a balanced diet. Eat fruits, vegetables ad proteins in balanced amounts while carbs in limited amounts.

Also, have you ever seen that even if you are not unhappy or stressful, but people claim you look dull? why is that so, because you have improper sleep. Sleep at night, because the daylight, the first rays of sun are good for skin and eyes. When you sleep late and wake up late, it means, first you have been eating late and sleeping right after it, causing extra deposits on skin. Second, you either miss breakfast, which is missing milk and eggs, which are essential for skin or missing a full round of sleep. Have you ever seen new-mums. their faces and skin just show that they are missing sleep and taking meals at inappropriate time!

For healthy and clear skin, drink loads of water to keep it hydrated.
