Of Course, there is an infinite amount of things you can do, but starting with basics is always a good idea. Therefore, we have put together some simple but beneficial Self-care Hacks and tips for you to take advantage from.  

Skin Care Tips

Self Care involves so many things, and skincare is just one part. Let's start with some essential skin care tips and hacks to get you through dullness, rough patches acne, and other dermatological problems. 

Cleaning your Face Properly 

This is what everyone is going to tell you - no matter how many exclusive products you buy from online makeup shopping - or what creams you use. If you don’t remove your makeup and other dust particles from your skin - it is not going to work. You might be able to hide it with a strong concealer or compact - but the minute you remove it, you will be left with dull skin. 

Enhance your cleaning routine by making a habit of washing your face properly. Before that, you can cleanse the pores with a makeup remover wipe, a cleanser, and a toner. After that, wash your face with cold water to stabilize the pores and make your skin look fresh. Don’t use a towel to dry your face. Instead, let it dry it out itself. After that, you can use a moisturizer so that your skin won’t dry out into rough patches. 

Massaging Your Face to Stabilize Blood Circulation 

Not many women understand that having a proper massage is not only essential to apply all the exclusive creams but also to improve the blood circulation of your face. Puffy eyes, swollen cheeks, and other facial problems can be kept under control by a gentle rub of all the parts of your face through fingertips. Note that you don’t have to rub your skin vigorously. A soft touch with consistent movement is the key to adequately done massage. 

For example, while dealing with puffy eyes, you can move your fingers in a certain way to stabilize the blood circulation. You can use your ring fingers to press gently on the orbital bone, moving from the inner corners of your eyes to the outer and repeating two to three times. By doing a regular gentle massage, you can also reduce fine lines and inflammation on your skin. 

Using Honey Mask to Deal with Multiple Skin Problems 

Honey is a miracle in the world of skincare masks. It is an ingredient that can be used for multiple skincare problems and is one of the king components in face masks. One more thing which makes honey super compatible with face masks is that it goes well along with other natural ingredients. 

The best thing to combine honey with is a lemon. Lemon is also another power fighter in the skincare world as it is famous for making your skin glow naturally. The lemon and honey face mask can help you get rid of all the bacterias that cause acne. Another benefit of this mask is that it can also lighten any kind of scars that you are unable to hide even with the best compact.

Coconut is used in many skincare and makeup products - and for all the good reasons. Coconut oil can act as the ultimate protector for your skin. It has enormous anti-bacterial characteristics that prevent any infectious acne outbursts.
