SKINCARE: WHAT GRANNY SAID
Busy in our day-to-day lives, we forget to take care of ourselves, especially our health which is all the more important while living in cities, where pollution is causing many problems. Breaking it down into categories, not only do we catch viral infections, but our skin is also affected. The most common skin problem is acne or “pimples” which appear when we forget to protect ourselves from dirt. Even if you are taking care of yourself in terms of diet and exercise, skincare is often overlooked. Eos brings you a few tips and tricks that you must’ve heard from your grandmothers but never paid any attention to. Here goes:
CONCEALER WHO? (COFFEE AND HONEY UNDER EYE MASK)
Take half a tablespoon of coffee and one teaspoon of honey, mix them well until a smooth paste forms. Apply it under the eyes with the help of a flat brush or your fingers, making sure that there is a slight gap between your lower lash line, keeping your eyes safe. Keep it on for 10-15 minutes and then wash with lukewarm water. Caffeine helps get rid of dark circles and dark spots. Honey melts coffee into the skin, giving you the exact amount of caffeine.
Repeat this procedure once or twice a week. Nothing is better than using natural ingredients over a high-end eye cream.
Our grannies have clever tips up their sleeve. Here are some about skincare that we may not have paid attention to
