Here are my top 5 tips to clear acne and get healthy and clear skin fast. These tips I have learnt over the past few years that have helped me transform my skin from this to this :                                                 So let's begin ! Skip washing with cleansers in the morning.        Ever realized the glow on your face in the morning, when you wake up ?  Doesn’t that feel pretty ? Then why wash it off with harsh cleansers…the thought of not washing your face in the morning when you have to get READY and leave for work or college or hangout etc, seems quite weird. I know. I too thought that how the heck, without washing my face would I feel fresh to leave ? So, let me break it down for you.  I am not asking you to not wash your face. I am saying, just not to wash it with a cleanser. Washing with plain water works charms. It neither strips the natural oils of your face, that are necessary to protect you from bad bacteria. And a few splashes of cold

Here are 5 things you need to keep in mind to win over acne :- You w ash your face twice a day : Washing your face more than once wipes away the natural oils of the skin, that protects the skin from bad bacteria. You should always limit washing your face to maximum ONCE a day. Yes, right. MAX once a day. Yes, Yes. ONCE. And not with a face wash, i mean not with a chemical face wash. Wash your face with BEST FACEWASH  for acne.   You are using fancy anti-acne face wash : Do you feel that, fancy anti-acne face wash specially designed for treating acne are always drying ? Yes ? Then why do you still use them ? Are they doing any good ? No. Always use mild cleansers which are nourishing and hydrating instead of the drying ones. The concept of anti-acne facewash is simple.

Now dry skin on our face produces more oil in order to balance the skin m

Have you ever felt the need of a moisturizer but are scared to use because of acne prone skin ? Do you find it difficult to find the best moisturizer for acne prone skin ? Does your skin feel dry after washing your face and you end up skipping the moisturizer ?  But you don’t realize that this leads to even more acne. Are you wondering how ? When you are struggling to control your acne prone skin, you tend to believe that cleansing and washing your face with harsh chemical products aka FACE WASHES will solve all your problems, but just think does changing face washes help your skin ? NO, because you are “stripping off” the moisture from your skin which in turn will produce more oil in order to balance itself. When I was struggling with acne, I too used to believe the myth "Curing acne required 'drying up' the skin."  But after 4 long years I learnt the importance and technique of moisturizing and this cleared up my acne so quickly.

We will make Rosewater at home. If you have bought rosewater of any brand, you would have certainly known the colour of rosewater to be light pink to transparent. But original, completely preservative free and natural rosewater is deep pink to reddish in colour. I was not aware of this until I made my own rosewater at home.
