Beauty experts insist on tying a braid before hitting bed. Why? Well, when your hair is left loose, there are chances of it being tangled, which eventually causes breakage.

Hydrate your lips
Your lips lose colour due to the environment contaminants, harsh sun rays and habits like smoking and addiction to coffee. Also, the night time is when you don’t have a lip makeup on and can help your lips heal easily. We suggest you apply some almond oil to your lips as this oil will rejuvenate your deal cells and heal chapped lips.

YOGA FOR THE FACE—3 EXERCISES THAT WORK BETTER THAN A FACELIFT
YOGA FOR THE FACE—3 EXERCISES THAT WORK BETTER THAN A FACE LIFT
We’re all aware of the benefits of yoga and the good it does our bodies. But have you heard of yoga for the face? If you haven’t, then you’re missing out on a regime that can make you glow, reduce wrinkles and erase lines—and it does all this absolutely naturally with no chemicals or painful procedures! Minal Potnis, a certified instructor in Yoga Facial Toning (YFT) and owner and contributor to Aiyana Wellness, has created a revolutionary facial yoga programme that uses a fusion of Tibetian doctrines, Facial Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga, to give you a firm, smooth, and glowing facial appearance. “Face yoga stimulates collagen production that keeps skin tight and makes it less prone to wrinkles. It helps relieve tension and stress from the areas we tend to squeeze and scrunch all day long. These areas include the forehead, eyebrows and around the jaws and mouth,” she says. Minal reveals three easy exercises to transform your skin.
The Eyebrow Stretch
- Raise your eyebrows as high as possible as if you’re trying to touch the celling.
- Turn your eyeballs towards the ceiling as if you’re looking at the ceiling.
- Hold this for 15 seconds.
The Nirvana Eyes
- Lift your eyeballs towards the ceiling.
- Stretch and raise your eyebrows to touch the celling, stretching the eyeballs while simultaneously looking at the ceiling.
- Holding the above position, slowly close your eyelids shut completely (This might take a bit of practice).
- Shut your eyelids while having an inner smile. Have a tranquil expression while doing this. Be happy.
- Hold this position for 15 seconds.
Benefits
This works on strengthening the muscles of the eyes. It will strengthen the lower and upper eyelids; decrease bulging under eyes, increase blood circulation to the eye area and smoothen any lines around the eyes.
The ‘O’ Exercise
- Open your mouth wide forming an ‘O’ shape.
- Fold your lips over the teeth.
- Tighten this position and hold.
- Now, smile and keep breathing.
- Hold for a count of 15 seconds.
Benefits
Increases the blood circulation, strengthens and tones your cheek, jaw lines and firms the lip muscles. Smoothens wrinkles.

Spiced honey mask
What you need:¼ teaspoon of cinnamon powder
1 tablespoon of honey
1 teaspoon of lime juice
How to:Ensure that your skin is not sensitive to cinnamon by testing it over a small portion of your neck and check that no redness or tingling appears. Mix the honey and lime juice together and then add in the cinnamon powder. Apply the mask over your face, gently massaging the cinnamon powder into your face to exfoliate it at the same time. Leave the mask for 20 mins and wash off with warm water.
Benefit:The healing properties of honey will aid in the treatment of the pimples from within while the high content of Vitamin C in lime will serve as an antioxidant and help synthesize the collagen in the skin. These qualities along with the antibacterial nature of cinnamon help in repairing the skin cells quicker.
Tea tree clay maskWhat you need:2 drops of tea tree essential oil
1 tablespoon of multani mitti¼ teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon of water or as required
How to:Mix the dry ingredients in one container and follow it with the tea tree oil. Add in just enough water to make it a thick paste. Apply the mixture on your face with your fingertips and leave it to dry until it hardens and begins to crack. Then wash it off with warm water followed by a face wash.
Benefit:The excess secretion of sebum might be the main cause for your pimple problems for which multani mitti is the ideal solution as it helps clear out clogged pores by absorbing the excess oil within the skin. Unlike other oils, tea tree oil acts like a solvent and penetrates through the extra sebum while eliminating the dead skin cells, which helps get rid of acne quickly.
