Look good without makeup by following these 5 simple steps-

Tinted moisturizer with SPF

Solid tinted moisturizer with SPF instead of foundation. Not only you will be protecting your skin but you will add that though of tint while also hydrating your skin. It’s a win-win.

 

A cup of hot Vitamin-C

Drink a cup of hot water and fresh lemon. It can cut down on your body’s amount of free-radicals, causing your skin to stay healthy and work towards looking its very best.

 

Alcohol-Free toner

A good solid alcohol-free toner after washing results in a nice even skin tone and further remove the need to cake on the makeup in the morning.

 

Exfoliate twice a week

Use either an exfoliating product or by mixing equal parts baking soda and water. Simply mix and gently massage into your skin for a minute before rinsing off with cold water and patting dry.

 

Hands-Off

Stop touching your face needlessly throughout the day. Stop picking at pimples, blemishes or blotches. And stop tugging or pulling at your face.
