Personal Hygiene Tips For Skin and Hair

• Wash your hair regularly. Don’t forget to clean them, especially after swimming and exercise. 

• Don’t comb or brush your hair too hard, as that can make it frizzy and may lead to excessive breakage. 
• Detox your body, by consuming water which is important to keep your skin hydrated. Eat foods that naturally detox your skin. 
• Exfoliate your face and lips regularly and keep a lip balm or lip conditioner on you all the time to prevent drying ou of your lips. 
• Acne breakouts are very common during summers. If you face frequent acne breakouts, use a good anti-acne face wash, recommended by your trusted dermatologist only for cleansing. 
• Don’t touch your face or hair too often, when you are outside. The dirt and germs on your hands may accumulate on your skin and scalp leading to infections. 
• Keep a good toner handy and use it post cleansing your face to remove excess oil from your face. This is especially important during summers, when our skin tends to be very oily.
