Posted by Dr. Surajit Gorai - Best Dermatologist Kolkata on April 30th, 2021

Who doesn’t want a glowing skin! All of you do. But how do you get that? Do you think it’s impossible to get a flawless skin? Well, achieving a flawless glowing skin is possible if you can consult with a skin specialist doctor in Kolkata. However, if you want, you can go for some home treatment also to get a flawless skin. Here are some tips which if you follow will help you achieve a beautiful and radiant skin.

  1. Make sure you always remove your makeup before hitting the sheets. The skin needs to breathe overnight. And makeup prevents that, as leaving it on overnight clogs the pores which may cause blemishes and/or blackheads. Don't possess a makeup remover? Just put some olive oil on a cotton pad and gently massage the oil onto your face to get rid of the makeup and dirt.
  2. Forget that exfoliation is indispensable. At least once or twice a week, exfoliate your skin to remove the layers of dead skin, sure to leave you with a healthier glow and brighter skin. You can also apply a paste of walnut in powder form with yogurt to exfoliate your skin, as the antioxidants present in walnuts help remove dirt and promote radiant skin.
  3. Use sunscreen with SPF of at least 15 that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. Since a lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems, you have to protect your skin from the sun. Make sure the label reads ‘noncomedogenic' or ‘non-acnegenic' so that the product does not tend to block pores.  Don't skip the sunscreen, whether it's cloudy or cold outside. If you're heading to a beach or around reflective surfaces like snow or ice, lather your skin up with some more sunscreen with SPF of at least 30.
  4. A diet rich in vitamin C and low in fats and sugar promotes radiant skin. Consider a low-sugar diet, which can keep insulin levels down, allowing cells to maintain a healthy balance. Don’t eat spicy and fermented foods, salt, citrus fruits, fried food. Instead favour blander foods such as rice, oatmeal and applesauce.
  5. Exercise regularly. Running, jogging and yoga will give your body thenecessary blood circulation, and also accelerate the cleansing process of your entire body. You will notice a glow on your face after working out. Racing against time? Just take a brisk walk around the block.
  6. Try to sleep at least 8 hours every night. If you don't get enough shut eye, your skin gets tired just like you - it sags and you get bags. So don't risk it. You can also apply honey on your face twice or thrice a week to naturally soothe and heal your skin.

Conclusion

Hydrate yourself. Drink lots of water daily, at least 8 glasses if not more.It helps prevent and reduce eye puffiness in the morning, maintains pH balance and naturally hydrates your skin if you spritz it on during the day.
