Massage Intake Facials: Fill & Download for Free

Ok, I am going to provide information purely on the basis of my personal experience. I am a 25 year old girl living alone in the city. So it becomes pretty tough for me to take very good care of myself as I go to work and then come back and cook for myself. But I try as I am a firm believer in natural beauty. Yes, a little makeup definitely doesn’t hurt but your canvas should be good·. Like it is very commonly said, “ May your skin be glowing and your coffee be strong!”Curd - I have been using fresh and sour curd for about 7 years now. Trust me when I say it works. A dash of lemon + a spoon of curd softly massaged into your facial skin will do wonders. This is my holy grail. Something I like doing everyday. It’s surely messy but hey come on its your face which is in question. Plus it’s pretty cheap, so a win win!Whole egg + curd or Whole egg + green tea for your hair - When I was 16, I started straightening my hair. It sure gave me beautiful straight hair for a certain amount of time but the results after washing my hair was horrendous. I used to loose hair in clumps and had mousy hair till I straightened it. I am a Bengali woman. My mom still has beautiful waist length hair. And I had destroyed mine through this rigorous heat process. So I came upon this remedy which was eggs. And man they do work. They will give your hair volume, shine and soften it. After using it continuously for about 3–4 years I could somewhat repair the damage I had caused.Never shampoo your hair and not condition it.Make sure to completely wash off all makeup - Try and go as easy as possible on your base makeup. Preferably try and avoid the foundation and concealer. Use a light compact from some good company or a BB cream if you must. I am addicted to my compact as well.Using Besan + Haldi – Use a mixture of besan and haldi with some milk or curd on your face. Skip all your expensive facewashes and try this. Turmeric powder or Haldi has anti-bacterial properties and has been used as a medicine in our culture since forever. Besan Or Chick-pea flour is a good and natural exfoliating agent. If possible apply it all over your body and then scrub it off after it gets semi - dry. A bit messy but you will be left with soft, beautiful skin.Steaming - Steaming your face every three four days helps. Preferably do this at night. Complete your moisturizer routine and then hit your bed.Ghee- Use some ghee instead of Chapstick when you are home. Helps!I have reached that age where I have started taking care of my skin to reap the benefits later. So every night without fail I apply pure almond oil around my eyes. The Hamdard one’s available in the Indian markets are fine. And then I take a mixture of almond+ castor oil in the ratio of 1:3 and massage my face. The massaging should be done very softly. And then I hit the bed dreaming about handsome prince’s. :DIf you do the same you should have glowing skin in the morning. This is especially helpful for women with dry to normal skin. I’m sorry I am not much help for the oily skinned beauties.Get up in the morning and have at least one to two glasses of warm water with fresh lemon. This should regulate your bowel movements and cleanse your system. Being fit internally is very important. Try and replace your sugar intake with that of fruits. Make sure to have some salad regularly. The colorful your palate, the better for your skin. Drink a lot of water. Your bowel movements and urine will be proper indicators of how you are taking care of yourself. And most importantly sleep! Nothing will be a bigger indicator of tiredness on our face other than lack of sleep. Talking from personal experience!These are some of the greatest beauty secrets I know. Here I am attaching a picture of myself from today, on my way to work. I have lip balm on and I absolutely adore the earrings. I would love to know about any other secrets from everyone else. Do share! :)

There isn’t much evidence in support of facial massages to prevent skin aging and wrinkles. However, more critical lifestyle practices to invest your efforts in would include:Sun protectionDiet and nutritionMinimizing caffeine alcohol and smokingThere is a lot of evidence, including identical twin studies which supports the effects of UV rays in accelerating skin aging processes. Wear daily SPF of 30 or higher and protective clothing. Also, avoid extensive sun exposure as much as possible.Secondly consume foods high in antioxidants to neutralize molecules called free radicals which promote faster aging. Avoid high levels of carbs and sugars which contribute to glycation (works like caramelization), a process that leads to skin sagging.Thirdly, avoid the intake of detrimental compounds such as caffeine, alcohol and smoking which also accelerate aging processes. Besides prevention, existing issues which cannot be reversed can be treated with new advances in dermatology.

Trust me, fat loss isn’t rocket science.I went from thisto this in around 4 months.These are the steps I followed:1.Determine your TDEE: (Total daily energy expenditure) in calories using any online calculator.2.Set up a caloric deficit: You will have to burn around 7700 calories in total to lose 1 kg. If you set up a caloric deficit of around 500–1000 calories per day, you will lose 1 lb - 1 kg per week. If your caloric deficit is higher than this, you will feel weak and fatigued throughout the day.3. Decide a time frame: Fat loss takes time. Decide a time frame with a minimum of 8–12 weeks. During this period, your caloric intake is going to be:CALORIE INTAKE= TDEE - CALORIC DEFICIT.4. Track your calories: Use an app like myfitnesspal to track your calories.5. SET UP YOUR MACROS:1 g of fat= 9 calories.1 g of carbohydrates=4 calories.1 g of protein= 4 calories.Your daily protein intake needs to be at least 1 g of protein per pound of your body weight to maintain or even build lean muscle mass.30–40 percent of your daily calorie intake should be from fats. Important to maintain the body’s hormonal balance.The rest of your calorie intake should be from your carbohydrates.6. STRUCTURE YOUR DIET PROPERLY. Include green leafy vegetables in your diet. Apart from providing the essential vitamins and minerals, they have fiber that helps prevent constipation and/or other digestion problems. Lean meats and whole eggs should be your go to protein source. Nuts, egg yolks and avocados can be your fat sources.7. EXERCISE:Weight training. Some form of resistance training is necessary as it not only helps build lean muscle mass but also elevates your metabolism and helps burn more calories through out the day.Cardio. Cardio is great for your cardiovascular health and is an amazing tool to burn calories. HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), medium intensity cardio or LISS (Low Intensity steady state cardio) are different forms of cardio.8. REST: 8–10 hours of quality sleep every day is NECESSARY for fat loss. Sleep is crucial for your body to recover and for maintaining optimum hormone levels in your body.And finally..BE PATIENT AND DO NOT CHEAT OR GIVE UP ON YOUR DIET AND/OR FAT LOSS ROUTINE.If you liked this, then consider checking out Neeramitra Reddy – Medium where I post high-quality articles on personal growth, fitness, productivity and life experiences primarily.For Quality Fitness content, check out the space Everything Fitness.Feel free to contact me on Instagram for further queries.Neeramitra Reddy (@neeramitra_reddy) • Instagram photos and videosUpdate: To people commenting that I look malnourished or skinny, that's how you look when extremely depleted and I had lost a lot of my muscle mass as well.
