SAVE YOURSELF THIS MONSOON

Rainy season is the most beautiful season as well as the romantic one also....... Most of us like to enjoy the pitter patter of rain in this monsoon .

Rainy season means cool breeze, outdoor fun, cozy days at home, addas accompanied with fried stuffs, like pakoras, bhajis and so on..... But with this beautiful side of monsoon there is a black side because this season is very much prone to water born diseases such as cholera, jaundice, gastroenteritis.


Just a little bit of care keep monsoon troubles away.

Prevention is the best cure. So, always try to maintain good hygiene levels because during monsoons water born diseases and virul infections are very much common.

• Boil drinking water for at least 15 minutes.

CLEANSING AND GLOWING

Cleansing your skin is the main keyword for glowing skin.

It is not only about removing foundation and letting your skin breathe. Even a hint of kohl and lip gloss are make-up, it has to be removed.

Experts say that not removing makeup from your eyes can lead to dry eyes, redness, darkening of the under eye and also eye lash fall. How we remove our make-up is also very important . There are some points which we should remember and apply during removing make-up.

Dry or rough clothes are never used to remove the make-up , as it can peel-off the sensitive skin around the eyes.

Face wash is also not the perfect solution for removing make-up fully.To perfectly clean your eyes and lip make-up, there are some specialized make-up remover.

If you use perfect technique for cleansing then the result is better.

Apply the make-up remover or you can use baby oil on a damp cotton swab and apply gently on your eyes. Hold the swab for at least 5 seconds and then gently wipe-off, moving out from the inner eye corner. Avoid stretching your eyes. And just wash your face and pat dry with a tissue.

It is also just as important as that you remove lipstick. Rub a few drops of make-up remover on your lips to let the product work and the make-up particles free from your lips. Wipe off gently with damp cloth.

Remember friends for glowing skin, the only mantra is cleansing................

SO, CLEAN and GLOW ! !
