Shimmering, spotless and smooth skin is every woman’s dream. And when there is winter coming around the corner, every woman desires to have the perfect skin.

Special skincare is very important if you want to look radiant and beautiful during winter. The more you take care of your skin, the more attractive and younger your skin will look. Simple basic skin care habits improve tone and texture of your skin, and guarantee the overall health of the affected areas. Following are some useful tips for long lasting beautiful:
H₂O to the rescue

Don’t get me wrong. I am not talking about the restaurant in Dhanmondi called “H2O.” I am asking you to drink lots of water in this cold weather to keep yourself hydrated. Creams and lotions for skin care give protection from outside, while our skin needs inside care for glowing outside. Hydration protects the skin from harmful effects of high humidity level and intense sun rays. Cold days have already drained out skin’s elasticity and suppleness of many; but it is never too late to follow healthy plan to revitalize lost freshness of the skin.

For glowing, radiant complexions choose more liquid drinking such as smoothies, and fresh fruit juices which can be diluted with water. If you like hot drinks then give preference to green tea and cup of coffee. These hot drinks are good sources of antioxidants ensuring smooth and wrinkle free skin. Researches show that green tea has a protective effect on cell membrane and helps reduce skin cancer.

Say no to spicy food

Stay away from hot and spicy food. Pimples, blemishes, and rashes are consequence of constipation and disruptive digestive system. Consumption of oily and spicy food is main cause of constipation, which grow pimples and rapidly destroying your facial value. To avoid disaster, eat whole-wheat meal, egg, beans, lentils, and fruits. Include yogurt in your diet because positive bacteria in yogurt help maintain digestive system and improve skin tone.
