Do you have oily skin? Do your cheeks, chin and forehead get really shiny? Here are some tips to shine control:
To loosen blackheads begin by washing your face with a mild face wash. Now combine equal parts baking soda and water in your hand and rub gently on your skin for two to three minutes. Rinse with warm water. This will reduce those blackheads. Alternatively, you could also try and use a blackhead removal strip. They are easily available in the market.
When you get in from the hot sun, your eyes are tired and blood-shot. You also develop dark circles and shadows due to heat and pollution. Try this. Wash your face. Take some ice cubes and wrap them in two pieces of muslin. Lie down and shut your eyes. Place one ice cube pack over each eye, rubbing gently. This will immediately ease the ‘burnt up’ skin feeling. Regular use helps to lighten the dark circles under the eyes or even remove them.
