Now,
this is serious. I understand that you are a busy lady and have tons of
work on your shoulders. But you also got to understand something. Going
to bed with makeup on is like sending a cordial invite to skin
problems.
eautiful hands can multiply your attractiveness. Hard to believe? Then try this!
Every
night before hitting the bed, wash your hands with warm water and a
mild soap. Pat dry with a soft towel, and then apply hand cream.
And
now comes the most important part. Make sure you use a thick and less
greasy hand cream. This will keep your hands moisturized during the
night, and when you wake up next morning, you won’t be able to help but
fall in love with your hands. Also, hand cream plays a role in reducing
skin dryness and roughness (2).
Hence proved, hand cream is a must.
3. Toner Is A Double Must:
Toner
is to your face what your face is to you. Why? Because it helps restore
the natural pH levels of your skin. This ultimately makes your skin
resistant to bacteria and other microorganisms, and also cleanses your
skin of dirt and impurities.
Simply apply a little amount of toner
on a cotton pad, and gently rub it on your face and neck. Trust me, the
next morning you will become even more pretty that you might even feel
like kissing yourself.
4. Don’t Forget The Eye Cream:
Let me tell you something.
If there is anything in this world which has a beauty that never wanes, it is a pair of woman’s eyes.
And
taking care of such elegance is definitely important, isn’t it? Remove
all your eye makeup and apply an eye cream before catching some Zzzzs!
An eye cream can do a lot good to your eyes; ingredients like peptides
in eye creams can moisturize and hydrate your eyes, and also reduce
wrinkles and fine lines (3).
Just ensure you use a lightweight eye cream that contains antioxidants, caffeine, peptides and brighteners.
5. Tie Your Hair:
It’s
always best to sleep with your hair tied. No, this is not my personal
opinion. When you sleep with your hair tied into a bun, you can spare
yourself the annoyance of tangles and knots in the morning.
Also,
hair does contain oils and dirt that can get on your face, thereby
resulting in acne breakouts and other issues (4). Now, you wouldn’t want
that, would you?
6. Petroleum Jelly For Your Feet:
Your
feet – something that should be never ignored. They are undeniably a
reflection of your personality, and you got to make sure they are
immaculate. Always.
Wash your feet with warm water and pat them
dry with a soft towel. Apply petroleum jelly on your feet and see them
turn soft and beautiful in a matter of days! Petroleum jelly is
generally used to prevent skin from drying (5).
7. Brush Your Teeth Every Night:
Here
comes one of the most important beauty rituals before bed. Beauty is
not just a matter of outside, but of inside as well. If your breath
doesn’t smell right, getting fashion advice even from Jennifer Lawrence
or Paulina Vega wouldn’t make much of a difference.
So make it a
point to brush your teeth every night before going to bed, and ensure
you do it after a gap of 30 minutes post dinner. Also floss your teeth
and rinse your mouth with warm water. One important point to remember is
flossing should be done before brushing (6).
8. Start Using Silk Pillowcases:
Will you believe even the pillowcases you use can determine your beauty? Well, you have to.
And there are two reasons.
One,
silk contains a number of natural proteins and 18 essential amino acids
that are beneficial to your skin. And two, unlike cotton pillowcases,
silk pillowcases don’t give you those annoying silk-lines or
silk-creases on your face.
9. Get A Good Night’s Sleep:
My
mom says that I used to sleep for over 18 hours a day when I was just
born. Given a chance, I would love doing the same even now.
*Just joking*
Anyway,
coming to the point, we all know sleep is essential. There is no doubt
lack of sleep can cause dark circles and under-eye bags (7), two of the
biggest disasters to anyone’s beauty. So ensure you get about 7 – 8
hours of sleep every night.
Also, make sure to shut down all electronics before you sleep. Mobile phones or television are a big no-no inside your bedroom.
