Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Avoid excessive cleansing of your skin. Use soap or face wash not more than two to three times a day.
- Plain water can be used to cleanse whenever required. Pat dry your skin after washing it.
- Keeping your skin moisturized is the key to healthy looking skin. Pick a good quality moisturizer (Rejuva oil and Vitamin E) with SPF sun protection factor) for mornings.
- Keep your lips happy and healthy with liberal application of lip balm.
- Though it is very tempting to have a hot water shower, it should be best avoided. Hot water tends to dry your skin.
- Use a body moisturizer within three minutes after your shower or bath to avoid dry skin.
- Skin is the mirror of internal organs. Staying healthy is necessary to look healthy. Stay well hydrated and get adequate sleep.
- Include Omega 3 fatty acids in your diet (especially beneficial in psoriasis), fruits, vegetables and nuts.
- Exercise increases blood circulation to your skin and keep it healthy.
- Avoid smoking and alcohol as Nicotine causes premature ageing and makes your skin appear dry and dull.
