Woman is one of the most beautiful creation of nature. Her
life is a canvas full of shades of love in its vivid forms. A daughter, sister, wife and a mother. Bestowed with the highest honors of motherhood, a woman
strongly anchors the household and family together. But in playing multiple
roles, sometimes she forgets to feed her very own existence . On this day of
celebrating womanhood, I want to encourage all womenfolk to take up charge of
their own selves. Here are a few tips to a beautiful and a wonderful ‘You’
1. It all starts with fitness
The real secret to a glowing face is the
glory of complete physical and mental fitness. A stroll in the morning for half
an hour followed by deep breathing sessions in the garden of your apartment
complex can be the most refreshing start to your day. Remember this makes a
huge difference in the long run.
2. Cleansing – toning – moisturizing
A good non –comedogenic, fragrance and
parabens free cleanser followed by an alcohol free toner followed by a good
moisturiser after twenty minutes of application of former is the minimum you
can do as a daily routine.
3. Sunscreen every day keeps ageing away
Daily application of sunscreen with minimum
SPF of 15 (Ethnic skin ) upto 50 ( fairer skin type) twenty minutes before
going out everyday is a must –have on your dressing table. Donot forget to apply it before the lunch trips to your son’s
school or bus stop.
4. Hair conditioning
A good hair conditioner containg hydrolysed
proteins after head wash at-least once a week.
5. The night cream
A good anti ageing cream with retinol , anti ageing peptides after washing face is a
good routine to follow. Remember every woman after achieving 30 years should
start the night regime. A good serum containing Vitamin C is an added benefit.
6. Anti – Oxidants
A vitamin supplement containing omega three
fatty acids and Calcium -Vitamin D should be on the menu everyday.
7. Genital hygiene
Simple cleaning with hot water and gentle
soap at bath is enough for cleaning the intimate area. Addition of antiseptic
agents and vaginal douching is a strict no as they destroy the good bacteria
which aid in natural cleaning and maintaining vaginal health. Cleaning should
be done front to back side. Cotton – Linen undergarments are desirable.
8. Keep a ‘ me – time’
Me time- when you do what you love to
do . It could be listening to a beautiful song, paint or dance to your
favourite tune. You are more than the roles you play.
A Great thanks to all the women
who have been a part of our journey and make this world a better place to live.
HAPPY WOMANHOOD TO ALL.
