If your skin is looking lifeless this is what you could be missing!

Skin reflects your overall health. If you have a lifeless skin these are some of the possible reasons:

1. Lack of proper nutrition: If you are not taking a well balanced diet, it will reflect on your skin. Make sure you include a lot of green vegetables and fruits in your diet. Taking a glass of fresh fruit/ vegetable juice a day is a good idea. Don't worry about which fruit as long as it is a seasonal fruit/ vegetable and is fresh and without preservatives.

2. Lack of proper sleep: If you have been sleeping late or not getting enough sleep you will not only get dark circles but also fine wrinkles around the most sensitive part of your skin ie., around your eyes. Make sure you take atleast 8 hours of good deep sleep every night.Do't avoid sleep by taking tea or coffee, that is the worst way to kill the healing effect sleep whats to give you when you are tired.

3. Dehydration: If you have been drinking less water you will see your skin sag and become very dry. Using a mosturiser is a good thing but it will not make up for the hydration your skin needs. You can improve this only by drinking enough water everyday.

4. Stress: This is surely one of the key reasons you have started looking a bit older than your age. Live like a child (carefree) to also look like one (not literally but definitely younger than your age). Thats antiaging 101.

5. Experimenting with skin treatments: Have you tried the latest cream/ lotion in the market. If you have definitely done that then you have been doing much torture to your skin. Skin cannot look great by applying vitamins/ minerals on it. Best way to get them to work for your skin is to include them in your diet regularly. Stop experimenting with all those things they will only go much harm to your skin and make you hunt for another product to undo the harm and the cycle never ends.

Skin is only a reflection of what you are inside as a person, body and mind. Give yourself some love and it will reflect in your personality definitely.

How to grow healthy eyebrows and eyelashes?

Eyelashes and eyebrows are an essential part of you face. No matter how beautiful you are , if your eyebrows and eyelashes are not healthy you will not look your best. Now the question is what to do for them.
Actually speaking if you have healthy scalp hair, your eyebrows and eyelashes will also grow healthy. You can try some of these tips to get the black lustrous eyelashes and eyebrows back:
1. Scalp hair massage - this improves the blood circulation of not only your scalp but also face making the eyebrow and eyelash hair thicker and darker.
2. Almond oil- take a drop of almond oil and massage it over your eyebrows gently.
3. Figure of eight massage - I have talked about this method in sections on facial massage. this helps to keep your eyes healthy and improves blood circulation around them.

Getting your eyelashes back is no magic. It make take some time (days to months). this is true only if you have not being suffering from any medical condition. If you are suffering from some medical condition you must talk to your physician about it.
