Routine Care For A Healthy Skin

by . Posted on

HI DIVAS, ADDIEMALL BRINGS YOU A CARE CHART FOR A HEALTHY SKIN

WHICH IS SIMskincarePLE AND MUST BE FOLLOWED AS A ROUTINE.

^^Add Moisture To Your Skin:

*Wash your face with cold water, not hot (or warm) water and do it at least twice daily.

*Apply a nice Moisturiser to your face to keep it hydrated from heat and dust.Dont be suprised if your Dermatologist suggests you a Cold Cream or a Calamine Lotion  for your skin moisture. Contrarily,The market is flooded with tons of  products to choose from depending upon your skin preferences.

^^Include Your diet With These Vitals.*”Eat a handful of almonds every day and it boosts levels of vitamin E, one of the most important antioxidants for skin health.

Drink as much as water and Fresh Juices which will help flush toxins in your system.

Include your diet with Lettuce,Tomatoes,Fish,Brown Bread(a complete sandwich combo)  and a Lemonade which will revitalize your skin by increasing Vitamin A&C

*Long-term sun exposure can cause wrinkles, freckles, age spots, rough, dry skin and  the worst even skin cancers.Use sunscreen every day, pskincare2referably one with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15 that provides broad-spectrum protection from both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays.

^^For Black Circles:

 Dont miss the common practice of applying Cucumber under your eyes to keep it cool.

Mix 1 tbsp. of egg white mixed with 3 tbsp. of plain yogurt to make a freshening eye mask. Dab onto the circles under your eyes and let the mask dry, then rinse with warm water.

^^Wear Protective Clothing. Cover your skin with tightly woven long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. Also consider laundry additives, which give clothing an additional layer of ultraviolet protection for a certain number of washings, or special sun-protective clothing — which is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays.

Finally ^^Head To A Spa atleast once a month and Pamper your skin with treatments like Facials,Body massages,and various other treatments for making your skin glow.

INSPIRATION THIS TYME**** SHOMA NARAYNAN  

rightWhen Mills and Boon, India’s Third Title, Monsoon Wedding Fever was unveiled,Author Shoma Naraynan’s Collegues at HSBC were amused that thier unassuming Senior Vice president could conjure up a hot read.

Addiemall – “Divas”  is charmed by the soft spoken Shoma, the first ever Indian Mills and Boons Author to bag a UK and US Release.

Here are a few excerpts from the Interview she gave…………………

1.So Seems Like You have joined the Club of Corporates who wield the pen with ease?

Shoma: Yes that is because Indian writing in English has come of age giving rise to more opportunities for people from all walks of life.

2.Is Writing an M&B as breezy as it seems?

Shoma: It was challenging as my ideas tend to include secondary characters. IN an M&B though, we have to sustain the tempo of attraction between the lead pair and not lose it in a subplot.Romantic M&B tales are easy in that there is little research involved.

shoma3. Is the Qualifying process stringent to join the panel of 1300 odd M&B writers?

Shoma: YES. After being a second runner up at their Passions Aspiring Authors Auditions, I was assigned to an editor in London to whom I sent in my chapters. After her stringent scrutiny inputs, the book was published. Subsequently Harlequin Mills&Boons signed me on for three more books and Yes, I am now on their panel.

4. As a mother of  Two, Are you nervous about the Impact of your Books on your children and their generation?

Shoma: I do not think anyone should be apologetic about what they read. It is relaxing once in a while to indulge in such books. Infact I was tickled to find my husband’s grandmom enjoying my story!

5. Can you brief us about your second offering on the row?

Shoma: It is to be called Take One – Arranged Marriage. It is about Two Tamilians who are brought together by an arranged alliance and then they fall in love. I am married to a Tamilian based in Mumbai so I know of your customs. In-fact our wedding was held in Chennai.

Sounds Exciting….Addiemall – “Divas” wishes Shoma Narayanan  Best Luck on all  her Future Endeavors.
