Skin care has no age

 Imagine a time machine that could make us look at least 10 years younger.  You enter as a 30-year-old with tired skin, puffy eyes and dark circles. But when you come out from the other end you look absolutely ravishing with youthful skin and glowing beauty. Well, unfortunately gals, neither have we invented such a dreamy machine nor yet found the mystical fountain of youth. However, if we start taking care of our skin from an early age then we can have everyone guessing our age…

Earlier the better:

It’s no secret that as we get older, our bodies change and everything starts to look and feel different. The most visible signs of ageing are reflected on our skin like fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, age spots and much more. As we age, our skin loses elasticity and also becomes rough. Hence, it is better to start taking care of our skin from an early age to minimize signs of aging. The younger you start, the more likely you are to have smooth, supple and tight skin well into your 50s and beyond.

10 ways to defy aging:

Wear sunscreen: Protect your skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun by using sunscreen that is broad-spectrum, SPF 30 (or higher), and water-resistant. Also wear shades and avoid direct exposure to sun as it can prematurely age your skin.

Cleanse your skin gently: Another great habit is to clean your skin with a gentle cleanser that washes away dirt, makeup as well as other substance without irritating your skin. Make sure to use cleanser that suits your skin type.

Moisturize. Moisturizer traps water in our skin, giving it a more youthful appearance. Hence, use a good moisturizer daily before sleeping to hydrate your skin.

Face masks: It is important to pamper your skin from time to time by using face masks made out of fruits, chocolates or other organic stuff. Ikkai’s chocolate and fruit masks are perfect for hydrating, nourishing as well as moisturizing your skin to give you a youthful glow.

Eat a well-balanced diet: While junk food, alcohol as well as eating a diet rich in sugar and refined carbs can accelerate aging, fresh fruits and veggies are boon for the skin.

Exercise regularly:  Several studies have proved that exercise is good not only for your waist line but also skin. Exercising can improve circulation and boost the immune system, giving your skin a more-youthful appearance.

Eye creams: Dermatologists recommend using eye creams after you hit puberty to help prevent aging. It can also help in preventing dark circles.

Avoid wearing too much of makeup: Hey! We know that stepping out of your home without wearing lipstick, eyeliner and concealer is just impossible. But wearing too much makeup can take a toll on your skin. Also, make sure to remove your makeup every day before you hit the bed.

Exfoliate: It is important to exfoliate once a week to remove layers of dead skin. However, use organic and chemical-free products from Ikkai like papaya and almond scrubs that are gentle on your skin.

Drink plenty of water: Drinking water is not only healthy as it flushes out toxic wastes from your body. It is also good for you skin. However, it is not enough to just drink ample eater but also use products that contain hydrating ingredients like glycerin, hylauronic acid and sodium pca. This will help you look refreshed and energized.
