The Green Beauty Skin Care Tag [Part - II] {Skin Care}

So, this is the continuation to the green beauty skin care tag which I had done yesterday.

You're in a pharmacy and you can pick only one item. What?

The pharmacies in India are hopelessly under-stocked. So, my pick would be evening primrose oil tablets. Evening Primrose Oil is amazing for anti-aging skin care and to prevent dryness. So, 10 1000mg tablets would last like a month or so.

What are your Top Skin Care Tips?

Sleep

It is the the biggest anti-aging remedy or pampering you can ever provide your skin. Disconnect from technology and television and sleep early at around 10:30-11 and get up at 6:30-7. That's the optimum beauty sleep you should get.

Hydration

Use a hydrating product for your skin or in my case a toner before moisturizing or aloevera gel. Seal with a moisturizer which does not allow water to evaporate from the skin or in my case a facial oil.

And, intake a lot of fatty acids like flax seeds or sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds. Proper hydration and moisturization also helps prevent blemishes and dark spots.

Sunscreen

Yes, it is very very important. I wish I could suggest my favorite sunscreen to everyone but its so damn expensive and looking at the exchange rate these days, it would be better to stick to something easily available. So, use your favorite sunscreen in the recommended quantity for proper protection and avoid sun in the noon time. Though, I really don't always do that!!

So, these are my top skin care tips which have helped my skin in the long run. And, of course eating healthy is always helpful. So, what are your favorite skin care tips???

The Green Beauty Skin Care Tag [Part - I] {Skin Care}

Thanks Vivi for tagging me :) And, I am excited to do this post! I have never really done any such posts so let's see how I fare :-)

Describe your routine in 5 words.

Simple, Lazy, Natural, Lazy, Sleep

I keep my routine simple and natural and extra stress on lazy because I am really lazy and sleep because it cures everything!

What's your skin type?

Combination with oil tendency in summers and dry in all other seasons. I am 27 now and I do not use any anti-aging product yet. In dilemma if I really need it.

What's your favorite skin product?

I love oils. More exotic it is, more my tendency to use it. Till date, I have loved all oils I have used but best among them is apricot oil. And, I do love Rustic Art Aloevera gel in commercial products.

Top Blemish Zapper?

I never really had problem with blemishes coz my skin does heal itself in the course of time but I do believe honey helps a bit! And, proper routine of cleansing, toning and moisturizing helps for sure!!

Face Wipes - Yay or Nay?

I am against face wipes in a daily routine basis but they are life saviors when it comes to travelling or during emergencies. But, please do not use them to wipe off sweat. The film it leaves behind can clog the pores!

Toner - Yay or Nay?

After a long stint with toners, I would say yes. If applied before immediate moisturization, it helps keep the skin hydrated and supple for a longer time.

High-end skincare or makeup?

You know the answer already. Skincare!!

What's the most unusual skincare product I have tried?

I do not think I have tried anything weird on my face yet. I can say that first time I used face mask on my face was pretty weird for me!!

Since I am typing this on my mobile, my hands are tired so I shall finish this post in another part. Oh btw, I would love to hear your answers to each of the questions above so do not forget to answer them :-)
