Cleansing shall be one of the most

important steps of your skin care

routine. Even if you are not having

an acne problem washing the

face twice a day helps in

removing dirt, oil and dead skin

cells from the surface of your skin.

Less oil and dirt also means less

acne. While washing your face

never apply soap and always use

a mild face cleanser. Also wash the

face only with warm or cold water

as using hot water can cause

pimples.

SECOND STEP: WATCH YOUR HAIR

OFTEN

To avoid having pimples it is not

just necessary to keep your face

oil free but your hair shall also not

be oily. Leaving overnight oil on

your hair can cause pimples as the hair touching your face will

make your skin oily. Wash your

hair regularly and don’t let them

fall on your face. Also go easy

on products like hair gels,

fragrances and deodorants as

they can clog up the skin pores leading to pimples.

THIRD STEP: KEEP YOUR HANDS

AWAY FROM YOUR FACE

Siting an unpleasant pimple

makes us want to pop it

immediately to get rid of it. But

touching and popping pimples

can only accentuate the

problem. Don’t let your hands

touch your face very often. It

can spread bacteria, cause

infections or further more

pimples which you certainly

don’t want.

FOURTH STEP: EAT HEALTHY FOODS

Mothers always tell us that no

amount of cosmetic products

can benefit our skin as much

as eating a healthy diet

comprising of fresh fruits and

vegetables can. This is in fact

true. Eating oily and greasy

food like chocolates or junk

food doesn’t do much good

to our skin while eating grains,

fruits and vegetables helps us

in keeping it healthy and

pimple free.

FIFTH STEP: APPLY ICE

Ice soothes the skin,

particularly the affected

area which can help your

skin to become pimple-free.

Applying ice on the skin will

remove the oil and dirt

trapped inside and reduces

the redness and swelling. To

get rid of an eruption, put an

ice cube in a cloth and

gently press it against the

affected skin. Or one can

also make it a routine to

apply crushed ice or ice

cubes to the skin in order to

avoid pimples

SIX STEP: APPLY HONEY

Honey masks are quite a

common acne treatment.

Applying honey on the face

works both as a preventive

method and as a treatment for

pimples. It is a natural

antiseptic that soothes and

heals the skin. The antioxidants

present in honey can help in

reducing the inflammation

over the skin and making it

pimple free. Apply some honey

on your face for 15-30 minutes

and then wash it off. Not only

will it work against your acne

problem but it also makes the

skin smooth and supple.

SEVEN STEP: APPLY HONEY

Like honey, lemons are also

believed to be a quite effective

natural treatment for getting rid

of pimples. Lemons can help

avoiding pimples in more than

one way. Lemon juice reduces

the oil, kills bacteria, reduces

redness and also removes the

pimple scars. To use it over your

pimples squeeze some fresh lime

juice over a cotton swab or a

cotton ball and apply it over

your face. It can give quick

results.

EIGHT STEP: USE BAKING SODA

Another wonder product which

you already have in your kitchen

and it can help you fight against

pimples is baking soda. A mixture

of baking soda and lemon juice

can be applied on the skin to

make it pimple free. Baking soda

is an amphoteric compound

which means it can work both as

an acid and as a base. It helps in

neutralizing the skin’s pH,

imbalance in which is often a

cause behind acne. It also dries

the skin removing any extra oil

and mixing some baking soda

with water works wonderfully in

cleansing and exfoliating our skin.

NINE STEP: USE ALOE VERA

Aloe Vera is a cactus like plant

with anti-bacterial, anti-fungal,

anti-septic, astringent and a lot

more useful medicinal

properties. It can be used in a

lot of ways- as a moisturizer, a

face mask, shaving oil or it can

also be included in your diet.

Aloe Vera can work wonders

for treating and preventing

acne as it removes excess oil

and dirt from the skin. It

stimulates the cell growth, and

helps the damaged skin for

healing faster.

It's true that some people

age more gracefully than

others. And while scientists

are beginning to gain a

deeper understanding of

how genetics can

influence the aging

process, they're also

discovering how much your

lifestyle choices can affect

your genes. Your genes

only govern 30% of how

you age; the other 70% is

up to you

STEP NO.1: DON’T BLAME IT ON YOUR

GENES

STEP NO.2: PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM

THE SUN

As you get older, the genes that

control inflammation, the production

and strength of collagen, and your

skin's ability to retain water begin to

behave in a way that encourages the

formation of wrinkles. Those changes

are caused by mutations which can

either be point mutations or frame shift

mutations. A study found that aged

skin that hadn't been exposed to the

sun had about 3,800 genetic

mutations, while skin that had been

exposed to the sun had around 10,000

mutations in the same genes!

STEP NO.3: EAT, DRINK AND SLATHER

AN ANTIOXIDANTSWhen UV rays are absorbed by

your skin, they create free

radicals, which are volatile

molecules. Those free radicals

can latch onto your DNA and

cause the mutations that

cause wrinkles. Antioxidants

help your body defend against

free radicals.Combat wrinkles

by eating foods and drinking

beverages that contain

antioxidants (pomegranates,

açai, blueberries, green tea)

and using creams or

moisturizers that contain them.

STEP NO.4: MASSAGE YOUR FACE

WITH OMEGA-3

Oils containing long chain

polyunsaturated omega-3

fatty acids work wonders

in promoting intracellular

repair. Examples of

omega-3 oils are almond

oil, egg oil and milk

cream. Fish oils also

contain omega-3 but

have an unpleasant odor

and are best avoided.

Splashing cold water

on your face first thing

in the morning

stimulates micro-

circulation and

regenerates dermal

membrane.

Preferably, fill your

mouth with water

while you splash so as

to stretch the facial

skin.

STEP NO.5: SPLASH COLD WATER

ON YOUR FACE

Not only will wearing

sunglasses protect

the delicate skin

around your eyes from the sun, but it'll

also help prevent

squinting, which

directly contributes

to wrinkling

STEP NO.6: WEAR SUNGLASSES

REGULARLY

Heavy smokers are

almost 5 times more

likely to show

excessive wrinkling

than nonsmokers.

Smoking can damage collagen, and the

squinting and lip

pursing that comes

with smoking directly

create wrinkles over

time

STEP NO.7:NO SMOKING

STEP NO.8:CONTROL YOUR FACIAL

EXPRESSIONS

More animated expressions

mean more creases, and

creases eventually become

wrinkles. It might be difficult,

but try to do away with

frowning, eyebrow raising,

and squinting. Don't stop

smiling or laughing, however.

A genuine smile causes

crow's feet around your

eyes but the power of sincere

joy against wrinkles may be

stronger than the effects of

not smiling.

In a study of female identical twins

(i.e. people with the same genes),

researchers found that divorced

women looked older than their

married or widowed twins, and

women on antidepressants looked

older than their twins who

weren't. It's unclear whether the

antidepressants or the depression

itself causes increased aging, but

these findings imply that being in

a happy relationship and having

an optimistic, laid back approach

to life might prevent wrinkles. At

the very least, being happy will

help you not care so much about

the wrinkles!

STEP NO.9:BE HAPPY
