Exercising daily is essential for a healthy skin
You need to sweat once every day to make sure your skin stays soft and bright even under quarantine. To put it simply, exercise regularly. You don’t need to be in the parks to exercise or in a gym to lose some weight. Exercise can take place even when you are in your home. Do some planks and squats right after you wake up. Find an hour every day for yoga and meditation. There is nothing better than keeping good blood flow in your body.
Eat Healthy
What goes inside you have an effect on your outside. Make sure to take all your vitamins and minerals daily. Fruits and vegetables are as important for your skin as meat or fish. Eat a balanced diet. Consumption of yogurt on a daily basis will smooth down your skin to a great extent and will also treat any acne. Stay away from junk or oily foods for a while. Take this quarantine opportunity to polish your cooking skills.
Moisturise Daily
There is so much time you have every day so make sure you spend 10 to 15 minutes, moisturising your skin. Use moisture, already available in your home, and some cotton balls to clear off any dirt or grime you might have on your skin. Moisturising also opens skin pores which help your skin breath. Practice this tip, before bedtime so that your skin can rest afterwards.
Home-made facial masks are a treat
