Why Do You Need A Detox?
Your skin may need some serious detox after festive seasons. Here are fours reasons why?
Alcohol Indulgence
We can very safely equate festive season to alcohol consumption. Not everyone may indulge in booze but the people who do should be aware of the consequences. Alcohol makes your skin dry and dull and binge drinking will inevitably affect it. So, how can you care for your skin? The first step is to drink lots of water to compensate for the dehydration cause by alcohol. The second step is to apply a face mask which will also help rehydrate your skin; the third step is to drink coconut water. Coconut water helps keep our skin hydrated and retains its glow. The last step is to keep your skin moisturised with products.
Lack Of Sleep
During all the festivities, you may be getting very less sleep and this will inevitably take a toll on your skin. The night hours are the time when our skin repairs itself and this is how it maintains the glow. Lack of sleep cam cause tired eyes, dark circles, stress and also acne problems. The only way to fix this is by catching up on your sleep somehow during the festivities or after. Another alternative is to apply green tea bags or cold spoon in your eyes.
