5 secrets to a radiant face

Drink enough water

The amount of water needed each day is about 1-2 liters, however this also varies depending on lifestyle, depending on the nature of each person's occupation... If you regularly exercise, 2 liters of water per day is not enough, you need 3-4 liters per day.

Keep a glass of water nearby to remind yourself to “drink water” because it’s not always a “reflex”. Once you get into the habit of drinking water, you’ll gradually notice your skin becoming smoother and fresher. Your efforts have been well rewarded!

Use appropriate moisturizer

To keep your skin moisturized, it is important to know what your skin type is like? Dry skin, oily skin, skin allergic to cosmetics… Sometimes using a cream that is not suitable for your skin will cause skin allergies, dark skin, freckles… Therefore, it is best to go to a dermatologist or a beauty salon for appropriate advice, what kind of cream should you use?

Use sunscreen

When going out, women often use sunscreen to protect their skin, especially at noon.

It is important to choose a sunscreen that is appropriate for your skin and face. Sunscreen should be applied after your “day” cream, regardless of the season!

On cosmetics, there is a note of SPF (Sun Protection Factor) to indicate the average number of hours the skin is protected by sunscreen from UVB rays. The lowest SPF in sunscreen is 15 and the highest is 100.

- Natural sunscreen

Using this natural sunscreen will reduce the effects of free radicals, reduce dry skin caused by toxins and imbalances in sebum activity. In addition, thanks to its "restorative" and anti-bacterial effects, it helps prevent dead cells and protects against the harmful effects of sunlight and ultraviolet rays.

Ingredients in natural sunscreens often contain zinc oxide, which protects against the harmful effects of sunlight and reduces damage to skin cells.

Honey is known as a natural “cosmetic” thanks to its moisturizing and antioxidant properties… once absorbed, it will moisturize and balance the skin’s pH. Coconut oil and aloe vera help maintain skin moisture. The combination of honey, coconut oil, and aloe vera creates a natural sunscreen that is suitable for all skin types!

Ingredients: 1 cup solid coconut (200 g), 2 tablespoons beeswax (30 g), 2 vitamin E capsules, 5 teaspoons pure zinc oxide (25 g), 4 tablespoons aloe vera gel (60 g), 1 tablespoon grapefruit seed extract (10 ml).

Put the coconut in a heat-resistant bowl, cook for a few minutes to melt the coconut, add the beeswax and stir well. Then let it cool, add the vitamin E, continue to add the aloe vera gel, zinc oxide, stir well before adding the grapefruit seed extract.

Once you have a homogeneous mixture, take a small amount (about the size of your fingertip) and apply it evenly to the area you want to protect. Apply twice a day if you are exposed to sunlight frequently.

Makeup removers

Many makeup removers on the market can “harm the skin”, absolutely do not use alcohol-based makeup removers. You should use oils or facial cleansers to remove makeup. It is important to remove makeup every day because it not only dries the skin, dehydrates it but also causes premature aging of cells.

- Natural oil helps remove makeup

Castor oil helps to clean your face perfectly, removing dirt and remaining makeup.

Ingredients: 1 teaspoon almond oil (5 g), 1 teaspoon castor oil (5 g). Mix the 2 oils well. Apply evenly on the face and massage gently. Wash your face with warm water, use a soft towel to dry your face. Should be done every night and after a few weeks you will feel your skin smooth and youthful.

Moisturizing mask

One of the best ways to hydrate your skin in the summer is to use a facial mask once every 15 days. You can make your own facial mask or buy it from the market! However, natural facial masks will help you look younger, have smooth skin… without any side effects!
