there would be rebound hyper-pigmentation, which is far more damaging and irreversible. Excessive use of make-up cosmetics clogs the skin pores and stops it from breathing.

147.   As for anti-wrinkle jabs, they may cause irreversible damage. The “filler” injections like botox and carbon dioxide may seem a fast and perfect way to remove the facial wrinkles, but the French surgeon Dr. Daniel Marchac has warned that thousands of persons (mostly women) could end up with irreversible damage to their subcutaneous tissue – the layer of fat underneath the skin – and their fibrous tissue.

 Avoid Hot Baths/Showers

148.   While bathing, do not expose your body to hot water for too long. Hot baths are demagnetising. It is always better to follow a warm bath or shower with a thorough rinsing of cold water to tighten the facial and body muscles. Pat your skin dry after bathing. This leaves a thin layer of water on the skin for it to absorb. Sitting in a sauna for a while enhances glow of the skin.

 Exfoliating the Skin

149.   The skin breathes and sweats through a multitude of pores. Exfoliate your skin with a soft brush before bath or shower to open up the pores for the skin to breathe. It can work wonders on your skin as it removes the dead skin cells and brightens the skin. It also improves skin texture and produces an even colour tone. Exfoliation is a powerful cleansing procedure too, leaving the skin renewed, refreshed and glowing.

Cleanse the Skin Regularly

150. During the course of the day, your pores get clogged by dead cells, dust and pollution in the environment. It, therefore, becomes necessary to cleanse your skin regularly, especially face, with fresh water. In any case, wash your face properly to remove the cosmetics, if any, before you go to bed.
