FOOD AND GLOW!

HEYY PEOPLE!

Yes! You have heard this right, there is a connection between the food we eat if you are looking for the glow, the right choice of your food matters. The food we intake must be in proper proportion so that the glow on your face can always be there.  And you will be stunned by knowing that most of the meals we have at home are good for glow we are looking forward to. Though we keep on ignoring those but they are actually on high priority.

So basically its not one particular food , it is the combination of a lot of food. So we can divide them in category to understand it really well. 

So the food that is great for the glowing skin are categorized below, say

fruit and vegetable, proteins,  fluids,  fibers,  fats.

IN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES :

Oranges, berries, tomatoes, spinach, pumpkin, carrot, papaya are potent antioxidant, important for a healthy glow.

PROTEINS : 

Your muscles, hair, nails, skin and eyes are made of protein.

Proteins are necessary for tissue repair and for the construction of new tissue.

The complete proteins that contain the eight essential amino acids come from 

• Meat
• Poultry
• Fish 
• Eggs
• Milk - all dairy, cheese 
• and Yogurt.

How much protein a day: 20 gram of protein for an individual is enough.

FLUIDS:

If your skin is very hydrated, it just helps you flaunting with a fresher look for a complete day. 

So for that you need to start your day with

• Some warm water and some lime and honey in it.
• Or you can have, vegetable juices 
• Glass of butter milk
• 8-10 glass of water a day.

This is enough for the fluid category , just always remember that proper intake of liquid could help you to get that glowing skin. 

FIBER:

Fiber help to improve the circulation of blood, keeps it thin, and improves the supply of oxygen and nutrients to skin cells, thus improving your skin’s appearance from the inside out. A high-fiber and fluid diet will ensure skin that is soft, well-hydrated and flawless.
Fiber rich foods are

• Pulses

• Whole grain cereals

• Leafy vegetables

• Sprouts

• Carrot juice

• Pineapples, melons

Eating lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains will help protect against common skin conditions like acne, dermatitis and redness.

FATS:

Fats naturally found in foods  contains loads of flavor components that boost taste. The right fat provides energy, cushions our organs and allows the body to absorb essential nutrients like vitamins A, D, E and K.

Food Items that are rich in fats are

• Almonds
• Avocado
• Walnuts
• Olive oil
• Sunflower seeds 

Try to incorporate these food in your diet and get a glowing skin in return.

Happy eating!

Know your sunscreen

Hi there!

How about the tan free summers this time? 

Nobody is ever excited for summers, as these left us oily, sweaty, tanned. And it's always hard to rescue yourself from it. But when it comes to tan, we get a little nervous and try to mess with every home remedy. Home remedies are natural and effective but we cannot have them everyday before leaving to work, school, or anywhere. So there must be a random solution or a protective layer with us everyday that can allow our skin to breathe and remain tan free. I would recommend these Top 3 sunscreens that are good on daily basis.               

Always try and have a greater SPF one, as it tends to protect you more from the UV rays. A huge range of sunscreens are available in the market, and you can buy any. But the ones i have already gave a try, are put below .

By the way SPF is (sun protecting factor) which is put over every bottle of sunscreen that basically tell us for how long it is going to protect us and when do we have to re-apply it which is necessary. If your skin would burn within 10 minutes, then after applying a sunscreen with SPF 30 would allow you to stay in sun without burning for approximately 300 minutes i.e 30 times longer. And hopefully the ones i am putting below will have the effect for good 6-7 hours on your skin. Some best sunscreens you may opt for-

1. VLCC  SKIN NOURISHING SUNSCREEN LOTION SPF 30 | PA +++

• VLCC skin nourishing sunscreen lotion with SPF 30 and PA+++ is a blend of this comfey plant extract and other natural ingredients that protects the kin from harmful UVA and UVB sun rays, thus help in preventing tanning and ageing. 
• On top of this, its Sweat Free.
• Suitable for all skin types.
• So go ahead, enjoy the Sun!! This Sun Screen is Paraben Free.

2.   NEUTOGENA ULTRA SHEER DRY TOUCH SUN BLOCK SPF 50

REVIEW PART :

• It can be a  little heavy on your budget as this retails for Rs 500 for 88 ml of the product.
• But i like this the most , because when sun is over your head and we have to leave for work, college or anywhere this is the essential thing we should have by our side.
• Say goodbye to skin darkening, sun burns and age spots with Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunblock.

• The oil free formula is great and would not feel heavy on your skin.

so give it a try :)

3. LAKME SUN EXPERT FAIRNESS + UV LOTION SPF 50

• It has SPF 50 and will protect you for 6-7 hours.
• Most important its sweat free formulation.
• It prevents tanning.
• It's good for every skin type.
• Tends to dry your skin after the application.
• Retails for Rs 280 for 50 ml which is super affordable.

Summers have officially announce their arrival now so don't forget to apply some amount to protect your skin. Hope this post would have helped you in choosing the right sunscreen for your skin.
