Focus on Deep Breathing

When you are trying to juggle multiple things at a time, you are bound to be stressed. Five to ten minutes of deep breathing can help in relaxing you and reducing anxiety.

You can also close your eyes and focus on relaxing and tensing each muscle group while taking deep, slow breaths. The best part about this is that you can do it any time, at home, workplace or even on the road.

Perfect Skin

3 #beauty habits you should be following every morning for #healthy, glowing #skin that is naturally #beautiful.

Drink A Glass of Water

The first thing you should do when you wake up in the morning is to drink a tall glass of water. Your body needs to be rehydrated after a night’s rest, and water flushes out toxins in your body. Our bodies are made up of 70% water, so drinking water will boost your body as well as brain. There are many ways to do it, too. Drink a glass of warm water with honey to also boost your digestive system, or drink a glass of chilled water to kick off your metabolism. If you don’t like the thought of plain water, squeeze half a lime into it.

Get Moving

Now that you’re rehydrated, it is time for a workout. Yoga and meditation are great for an AM workout routine – gentle yet effective to boost your mind, body and soul. You could also go for a run, jog or power walk, and finish up with some breathing exercises and meditation. Exercise will increase blood circulation, increase cell telomeres, boost your immune system and also help you flush out more toxins in the form of sweat. IT also gives you a beautiful natural glow.

Pamper Your Skin

Post workout, jump into the shower and give your skin a thorough rinse. Pat dry, and treat yourself to a cold mineral water spritz that refreshes and re-energises the skin. Do remember to use an antioxidant cream, one that contains vitamins E, C and A to protect your skin from attack of free radicals. Using a good cream in the morning can offer protection all day long. And yes, don’t forget to use sunscreen liberally all over your skin, before you put on your makeup for the day.

Protect Yourself from the Sun

One of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.

For the most complete sun protection:

•    Use sunscreen: Use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15. Apply sunscreen generously, and reapply every two hours — or more often if you're swimming or perspiring.

•    Seek shade: Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest.

•    Wear protective clothing: Cover your skin with tightly woven long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. Also consider laundry additives, which give clothing an additional layer of ultraviolet protection for a certain number of washings, or special sun-protective clothing — which is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays.
