8 Steps for Woman's Personal Care Regimen

Covering up your flaws or fixing your imperfections is not a way to look beautiful. That's why minimalism has become a trend now. But what exactly it is? It’s a new glow-up strategy.  It's all about a strictly minimal approach to beauty. You just have to strip down the vital twelve-step or fifteen-step skincare, haircare, or fashion routines. If you understood it properly, nothing can go wrong. Simplified natural beauty routines are the best to follow day-to-day personal care.

Women are surrounded by different things to do during our busy morning routines; maybe kitchen stuff, household work, skincare, wellness, fitness, mental health—you name it. Here you can get a brief overview of a minimalistic approach to a woman’s personal care regimen, especially for skin and hair care. Don’t worry! It’s not that complicated.

Your skin needs hydration to look and feel its best. So, start your day with a cold-water splash on your face or apply an ice cube. It reduces puffiness and equalizes your skin which is good for any future applications. Don’t touch your face constantly, instead wash it 3-4 times a day to avoid infection. Use a hyaluronic acid-based cleanser when ice or cold water is not available or bearable.

Skin Exfoliation is very important but it’s not mandatory to do it every morning. You can exfoliate your skin once or twice a week. Sugar and granulated coffee powder are the best natural exfoliator. If you are not at your home, then you must prefer the lactic acid-based exfoliator which can be easily available at any Apollo Pharmacy Store. The best thing about lactic acid is that it can be used by people of almost all skin types.

You are not going out? But sun rays can come in! Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day no matter where you are, just do it! It saves your skin from harmful hot air, UVA, and UVB rays. It also decreases the risk of skin cancers and helps to prevent premature skin aging.

Since our days are super-duper-packed, try to make the most out of our mornings. A good balance of me-time and productivity can be managed with morning workouts. Exercise and diet are important in all aspects of health, even for your skin and hair. exercise increases blood circulation and helps to supply oxygen and nutrients to your skin and hair better.

A good night's sleep and stress-free living is essential for a healthy mind and body. High-stress levels can cause itching, hair loss, and scaly skin. Find out the sources of your stress and eliminate them. Stress can be relieved through meditation, journaling, and affirmations.

Are looking to grow longer hair, tone your skin, or want to undo the damage done by heat, or styling/makeup products, it is important to maintain proper nutrition for your skin and hair. Vitamin A, vitamin C, biotin, and zinc-rich food are beneficial for your skin as well as hair. Nuts and seeds can be excellent additions to your daily diet.

Once upon a time, oiling was a tradition and a way to spend quality time with a mother or family members. The newer generation thinks hair oiling is 'not cool' or doesn’t match the current trends. However, it is very crucial for your hair. Hair oiling is not something you should do every day. Castor oil, almond oil, olive oil, etc. are good for hair massage. Check out the wide range of hair massage oils available at Apollo Pharmacy. Apply the oil directly to your scalp and massage it in a circular motion with your fingers. It keeps your hair healthy and strong for a long time, providing instant relief.

Nights are said to be magical for your skin and hair! Yes, but only with one condition. And the condition is to keep your sleeping linens clean.  Sweat, bacteria, dust, and dead skin cells can all be harmful if they accumulate on your bedding and clothing.  At least once a week, wash and change your sheets. If possible, use silk or satin pillowcases instead of cotton, as they provide less friction.

The basic steps that involve simple skin and hair care products are definitely important and beneficial for taking care of them. But these tips which need your strict routine can go a long way towards contributing to better habits.
