What is your daily routine? Are you living in a 100% dust-free environment? If no, then you need to cleanse your face thoroughly before you are going to bed. You can cleanse it with makeup remover, and then wash it with your favorite face wash. Rinse off your face by splashing water on to it. Dry it gently with a soft towel or tissue paper. Remember, never rub your face, it becomes rough when you do so. You can apply some toner of a good company after cleansing your face. Then use a moisturizer so that the whole day's dryness runs away and your skin becomes repaired over the night. Hopefully you'll wake up fresh the next morning.

Sun is not everyone's friend

If you are a working woman, or even if you go out for any sort of work, avoid the direct sun exposure. Keep yourself under an umbrella whenever you now that you have to go under the direct sunlight. And above all, apply some good SPF sunblock before going out in sunlight. That helps you by protecting your skin from dangerous and harmful rays of sun and keep your skin fresh and glowing all the day. Remember, it is very important to keep yourself safe from sunburn because once you get it; it does not leave you easily. So be careful!

Beauty Sleep

Many of us are used to stay up late at night. Even sometimes we have no important pending task but still we are awake. Like our body parts, our skin also demands rest. You must have noticed that when you do not sleep, your skin looks like tired, dull and sagged. Dermatologists say that the lack of sleep causes to open the blood vessels of your skin and then dark circles also appear. When you sleep, skin starts its repairing system; many new cells grow and replace the older ones. Many hormonal and metabolic changes also happen during this time. You need to sleep 7 – 8 hours daily in order to get a perfect skin. Do not worry; if you are young, the good news for you is your skin recovers quickly. It is still not too late. Look at the clock and go to sleep if it is already too late. Read the rest of the post tomorrow.

Drink Water Adequately

Water helps in digestion of food, normal blood circulation and many other activities inside your body. Your skin is made up of cells and you might not know that the cells are made up of water. Without water, just like a plant, cells also get dried and damaged ultimately. And of course you cannot look pretty having damaged cells on to your face and body. So do the justice with your skin and drink the sufficient amount of water daily to fulfill the need of your cells. If you think you take sufficient water and still your skin looks dried, apply a good brand's moisturizer after taking a bath. Your pores are open after taking a bath, so the moisturizer will be absorbed thoroughly into your skin. But again, nothing can replace the importance of natural things and water is one of those.

Take sufficient amount of Calcium

Almost all of us used to hear the benefits of calcium in repairing tooth and bones. Does it do anything for skin? Yes it does! Do you know that calcium is the most plentiful mineral in your body? And when you talk about the skin, a deficiency of calcium may cause dryness, wrinkles, itching etc. An insufficient amount of calcium in your body increases the tendency to develop skin cancer. The most dangerous thing is, when you are lacking the required amount of calcium, the deficient parts steals it from your teeth and your bones and ultimately leaving them weak. Therefore to have a flawless skin, have enough of the calcium. Take orange juice daily in its season. Drink a glass of milk daily. And if you do not like orange juice and milk (which cannot be possible – at least for me) then consult your doctor to get an advice for some medicines having calcium in it.

Exercise Daily

Wake up early, go out in the fresh air, inhale deeply and do some light exercises. Researches prove that the regular exercise is one of the secrets to a healthy skin. Exercise helps nourishing your skin cells by increasing the blood flow around the body. It also helps in reducing the stress. Take out at least 15 – 30 minutes for YOU and do an exercise. The only danger which is there for your skin while doing exercise is direct sun exposure. Therefore I mentioned above that wake up early when the sunlight cannot be harmful for you. If you are not able to do this, at least save yourself from the rays of sun while doing a workout.

Eat Wisely

Always eat healthy food which is full of proteins, fresh and nutritious fruits and vegetables. Especially green vegetables help you a lot in getting a glowing skin. Try to have a food having lots of fibers like nuts, unprocessed fruits etc. Try to avoid a lot of junk food as it has become a fashion. Do not eat spicy stuff because it may incur pimples or acne on your face. Do not skip meals and try to eat light meal in dinner. Surely this will lead you towards a healthier skin.

Be Happy – Do not take Stress

Your mind and your skin are interlinked somehow. Yes, this is not a joke. Whenever you feel nervous or tensed, just go to the mirror and look at yourself, you might be looking dull and with a bit or more sagged skin depending on your age and you stress level. Stress creates hormonal changes in your body which affects the skin as well. Try to reduce your tensions and keep yourself happy. Remember that it is just YOU who can care yourself in a good manner. So ignore anything bad happening around you. Do not voluntarily be responsible wrong things happening in your life. Keep a habit of forgiving people and last but not the least – SMILE, yes it is free! :)

4 Easy Home Remedies for Cough

What is Cough?

A natural sudden reflex which humans and some animals use to clean their breathing system, nuisances, mucus in throat and other microbes. It is made naturally so that it protects your lungs. There are three phases of cough:

• Breathe in
• Exhalation forcefully with a closed glottis
• Intense release of air followed by the opening of glottis with a typical sound

Image Source

Everything described above is all about the normal cough. But regular and frequent coughs may be a cause of some disease. There are viruses, bacteria and other germs in the air which sometimes attack you when you inhale. Or it can be transferred from a person who is carrying these viruses. When a person coughs without their hand on their mouth, and you are sitting beside them, there are chances that they have conveyed their germs to you.

Types of Cough

Acute

An acute cough continues less than 3 weeks. Cold and other respiratory infections can be the common causes of this type of cough.

Sub-acute

The duration of a sub-acute cough is 3 – 8 weeks. This type of cough takes a bit longer to finish so it can continue even your cold or respiratory infections are over.

Chronic

This is the most serious among these types i.e. a chronic cough. It lasts more than 8 weeks. It can be because of Post-nasal drip (upper airway cough syndrome), asthma etc.

Whatever is the type of cough you have, it must be cured on early steps so that it cannot harm your lungs and of course it cannot disturb your loved ones. :) That is why we are sharing with you some of the easiest and natural remedies to control your cough instantly at home. But please do not forget to visit a doctor if the home remedies do not work for you. Also please remember, we do not encourage you to be on home remedies for many days, never let your cough prolonged.

This tip can make you realize that how beneficial flour can be for your health.Take 58 grams of flour and sift it. Take the leftover and boil it a lot in some water. Add salt or sugar (whatever you like) to taste. Drink this water when it becomes drinkable. Please avoid using cold water when you are on cough. Your disease can be even worse using cold water.
