Let me start with mine...

1.I use a good quality soap for for regular bath and wash.(preferably DOVE or PEARS)

2.Do not switch brands of soaps or other beauty products frequently.

3.Apply some moisturiser over face,neck and body to keep your skin supple and soft -after your bath.

4.Massage your hands and feet with moisturiser at bedtime.

5.Apply a pack of oatmeal,honey and limejuice on your face and neck for 20 mins. wash off with warm water and soap.

Do this once a month or after a hectic day in sun and dust.

It softens the skin and removes the tan and makes it bright and radiant.

6.Eat one fresh fruit atleast every day. have 2-3 helpings of veggies.It keeps you and your skin healthy.

7.Wash your face,hands and legs atleast three times a day.

8.Never apply too much makeup-If you apply makeup cleanse it well at bedtime.

These are my regular skin care tips which I follow over decades...and they work!

nice tips shakambari..can you please tell me how to make the oatmeal face pack? is it the regular rolled oats that we get in stores? also, what are the proportions of oatmeal, honey and limejuice?

Thanks a ton!!

Sahmaara

Just coarsely powder rolled oats in a mixer and use it for your face pack.

Mix one teaspoon of oatmeal with 1-1.5 teaspoon of honey and add 1/4 teaspoon of lime juice to it.

Apply it on your face .wash off after 20 mins.

hi shakambari

i tried both Dove and Pears. not working out for my skin which is of very very dry type.... currently using dettol soap.
Please suggest a good soap for long time use

Skvs,
If your skiin is extremely dry,you may need some good cream like MOISTUREX (available in pharmacies) or Vaseline-moisturiser to be used
after you pat yourself dry after your bath.
Dettol soap is not softening ...usually Dove is good.
You can also try warm coconut oil massage before bath.

Hi shakambari
thanks. do you know any good moisturing cream which will reaclly work out. i have tried nivea . less quantity but its very costly. couldnt afford. it becomes empty soon.. lol. i tried vaseline too. not working :drowning
actually i would like to take extra care like applying oil before bath etc.. but i am lazy to follow evertytime i used to start and do something initially but not following regularly. :bonk
so it will be better if moisturizing can be gained by soap. :bowdown however i have to take bath. no way of escaping from laziness lol :rotfl

If moisturising is expensive or time consuming-just add a teaspoon of oil to your warm bath water and rinse yourself with this after the bath,
It keeps the skin soft-I use it during dry winters.
But-extreme dryskin is a condition which requires extra care and sometimes,dermatologist's attention.
