Introduction
Valentine's Month is here! As time to show some love to the one constant companion that goes through thick & thin with you—your skin. Why not give your skin to enjoy something that it craves rather than focusing solely on traditional gifts? Here, we are, with three thoughtful gifts that will leave your skin feeling pampered, refreshed and ready to glow.
3 TIPS!
1. Relook at Your Skincare Routine
The first gift for your skin will be to reassess your natural skincare product / routine if you haven’t done it yet. To put the former season’s products in the backseat, if not needed anymore. A quick review will let you make an informative decision of whether the current products are still effective or need some tweaks or shall you change it completely. The decision entirely depends on the weather, your skin type, skin concerns & the goals that you seek to achieve at the top. Take the time to understand your skin's unique needs and adjust your routine accordingly.
2. Shock Your Skin to Wake It Up:
Just like any relationship, your skin can benefit from a little excitement. It's now time, to shock your skin with invigorating practices that will have the role to bring back the natural radiance.

- Physical exfoliation using DIYs (with ingredients that are easily available in everyday household)
- For Scrub: Coffee/cocoa
Mix one tbsp of coffee with one tbsp of rice flour. You may also add a drop of honey. After that, add 2 tbsp of lukewarm to the mixture to create a thick paste. Apply it to the face and gently scrub. Let the paste sit for another few minutes until it dries. At last, rinse and pat your face dry to witness glowing, beautiful skin.
- For Mask: Besan
Take 1 tsp (teaspoon) of Besan, 1 tsp of Multtani Mitti & a pinch of turmeric powder in a bowl. Add a few drops of Rose Water & mix them properly to make a fine paste. Apply it evenly on your face and let it dry for 10-20 mins. Wash it off with lukewarm water.
- Gentle massage

Just a quick facial massage can send a wave of blood and oxygen to your skin What does it do? It Increases the blood flow which results by eliminating puffiness in your face, especially under your eyes (we all know, how much we hate that). It also evens your skin tone and helps to detoxify your skin.
Oh, what a Yoga session can’t do! Everyday yoga will stimulate the blood flow, promoting a healthy and vibrant complexion. Not to mention, let your mind & soil be in the much-needed peace.
3. Rejuvenate Mind & Body:
A definite answer that we have heard from most of the users, is that, when hearing the word Skincare, the first thing that comes to mind is ‘Face Skin’ but in reality, it extends beyond the face, it encompasses the entire body that includes making your palms, hands, legs & feet soft to touch. It is much needed to treat yourself and your skin to the luxurious experience of essential oils. Look for products infused with natural oils like lavender, chamomile or rosehip, known for their soothing and rejuvenating properties. You'll achieve a holistic sense of well-being that will reflect in your skin's radiance.
