Love looking your best, but have no time to keep up with new, fab beauty & fashion mantras? Here’s the Top 10 tips that’ll help you look your best and take care of your healthy!
For Your Body
- Drink plenty of water for keeping your skin, hair and body healthy.
- Eat a healthy diet that is low on fats and simple carbs, and rich in proteins and micronutrients.
- Exercise in some form or the other at least 4-5 times a week. Find what physical activity you most enjoy, be it swimming, cycling, dancing, gymming or something else; take time out to perform it with regularity.
- Add more and more antioxidants to your diet for anti-ageing, metabolism-regulating and general health benefits.
- Moisturise your body with light, refreshing products in the summertime and thick body butter in the winter season.
- Make sure you do not have body hair when wearing short dresses, sleeveless clothes or midriff-bearing outfits.
- Always wear perfume and body deodorant – BO is such a turn-off.
- Exfoliating body skin on a weekly basis is crucial for removing dead skin. Prepare a scrub suited to your skin type at home and if you don’t have the time, go in for a store-bought product.
- If you have cellulite, dry brush affected areas before bathing on a routine basis.
- Go in for a body massage whenever possible to relax taut muscles and increase blood circulation across your body.
That’s when I came across Skinade which is essentially a collagen drink – yeah you heard me right! – a drink that claims to boost the natural production of collagen and hyaluronic acid in one’s body. Skin begins to show signs of ageing when these very compounds are no longer produced in ample amounts as when one was young. Now, I’m no expert, but the fact that Skinade has a fine balance of active ingredients that can naturally aid your body’s ability to renew itself, seems like a sure-shot fix for fine-lines, dull skin, dark patches and so on.
The drink itself isn’t exactly delicious, but it has a natural peach and mangosteen flavour, so I don’t mind the taste really. I was advised to take it with breakfast because that is when absorption of ingredients is highest. The best part is, it’s very convenient to have these little bottles of anti-ageing elixir because with the 30 day course, I even got a travel pouch. So even when I’m running late and take my breakfast to go, my daily dose can be easily carried alongside.
I would recommend that women above 30 consume Skinade every 1 to 2 months on a cyclical basis to maintain good skin quality. And those over 40 could even take it regularly for that’s when skin retardation really begins to set in. Fortunately, the product is well-priced with the 30 day course costing £99.00.
