How to Look Good without Makeup - Natural Skin Care

The secret to looking good and beautiful without makeup exists and is possible for anyone and everyone.

Women are generally scared to leave the house without any makeup because they think their face will look terrible without any makeup on. That’s not true. 

Read these simples tips to make your skin glow and look flawless, NATURALLY. Also, going makeup-free some days and still getting compliments will make you feel more confident about yourself.

• Believe in your Inner Beauty - Let's start with the most basic part - believing in yourself and your inner charm. No matter how much makeup you apply or how well you dress up, if you don't feel confident or if you don't love yourself, no other person would be able to feel the same for you. So, first things first, Start Loving Yourself. 

If going makeup-free all at once is too much for you, start adapting the change slowly by going for a minimal-makup look ie. just applying a kaajal (like Bio Kaajal) or mascara and a touch of lip balm like Bio Berry plumping lip balm.

• Follow a Skincare Regime - Most of us neglect the importance of a proper skincare regime to protect our skin from daily damage most of the times. But, the key to looking good naturally is following your skincare regime religiously which should include the basic mantra - Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing. You should cleanse your face twice daily (once you get up in the morning and again before you go to sleep), and also exfoliate your skin regularly to maintain its health.

Try to use herbal or organic products as they are skin-friendly and do not cause any side effects. We recommend you to use Bio Honey Gelcleanser, Bio Honey Water tonerand Bio Morning Nectar lotion as a part of your skincare regimen. And of course never forget to apply sun screen (Bio Carrot sun protection with SPF 30, which is our favourite).

• Have a Nutritious Diet - Eating healthy and drinking atleast 7-8 glasses of water daily would make your skin naturally healthy and youthful. You should include as many fruits and vegetable in your diet as possible to balance your diet. 

Also, try to include green tea in your daily diet as it is rich in antioxidants and helps making your skin fresh and young.

• Personal Grooming - Often neglected by many, personal grooming is the most important step to look beautiful and confident. Regularly go for those salon sessions to trim your eyebrows, wax unwanted hair and manicure/pedicure.

• Proper Hair Care - Whether you love keeping your hair open all day long or keep them secured in a bun, you should wash your hair regularly and get them trimmed at regular intervals to get rid of split ends. 

If you have colored your hair or got them treated chemically, then give extra care to your hair by using the right products and going for a hair spa. You can use Bio Soya Protein shampoo and Bio Watercress conditioner which are specially created to maintain the health of color-treated and damaged hair.

• Exercise Daily – You don’t need a gym membership, weights or personal trainer to help you lose those excess kilos. Also, no matter what your weight or body type is, it is essential to exercise daily to maintain your health and be physically fit. Walking is one of the easiest exercises to stay fit, and brisk walking for atleast 30 minutes daily can lift your mood while keeping you healthy and improving the quality of your life.

• Pamper Yourself - Pamper yourself every now and then by indulging in shopping, eating your favorite cuisine at a restaurant or simply taking a day off from work and relaxing at home with your favorite music and book. This would surely pump you up, and keep those stress lines far away. A happy and relaxed you will surly glow from the inside out.

Easy to follow tips to keep your Skin healthy this Summer

As you prepare to beat the summer heat and have a blast being outdoors, don't forget to prepare your skin and body to face the harsh weather.

Here are some simple easy-to-follow tips for a healthy, glowing skin this summer :

• Keep yourself hydrated - Summers mean scorching sun and that would lead to internal dehydration. So make sure you always keep a bottle of water with you to keep yourself hydrated at all time. Intake of atleast 7-8 glasses of water daily would not only help maintain critical moisture balance of your body and skin but also assist in detoxification.

• Apply Sunscreen daily - Religiously apply a sunscreen atleast 30minutes before you go outdoors and re-apply every 2-3hours for better protection from harmful sunrays. If you are not sure which sunscreen would suit your skin, read our last blog post where we covered the different types of sunscreens and SPFs. We also recommend you to use Bio Morning Nectar SPF 30 Eye Cream to protect your eye area and Bio Morning Nectar SPF 30 lip balm that lightens and protects your lips.

• Exfoliate gently - Exfoliation becomes a necessary step to follow in summers to make way for a clearer, smoother skin. A gentle exfoliating product like Bio Papaya tan-removal scrub would help remove dead skin cells and remove tan from your sun-exposed skin. Ideally, you should exfoliate your skin in the mornings before the application of toner, moisturizer, SPF and make-up.

• Soothe your skin - After continuous sun exposure in summer, it becomes really important to soothe and refreshen your skin with cooling gels or balms to help prevent peeling or redness. We recommend you to use Bio Almond oil cleanser which would help wash away any makeup or impurities, and leave your skin feeling fresh. You can also make Bio Cucumber toner a part of your daily skincare regime, which is an effective cooling toner suitable for normal to oily skin.

• Eat nutritious food - In summers, your body is not able to digest all the heavy foods, fast food and fried dishes, therefore you should eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables to keep yourself healthy. Fruits like watermelons, berries, and vegetables like cucumber, other leafy green vegetables contain essential nutrients that will keep you hydrated during hot summer days. 

• Wash your Makeup Brushes Every Week - During summers, your skin becomes oilier and produces bacteria which may get caught up in the thin bristles of your makeup brushes. Using such brushes may clog your pores leading to breakouts or acne. Therefore, you should wash your makeup brushes every week and dry them in a glass in the sun to kill the bacteria.

These simple tips would make you glow all day long and stay healthy all summer.
