Many have become aware of the repercussions of their lifestyle and habits on their skin and overall health,” Dr Kohli wrote on Instagram. Take a look.
Follow this simple Ayurvedic skincare routine for healthy skin, as suggested by the expert:
Wash your face thoroughly with lukewarm water. Dead skin cells will soak up the water like little sponges and plump up, which makes them easy to remove.
While the face is still wet, apply a thin coating of oil to seal in the moisture. As a result, it is highly unlikely that you will face irritation.
Make an pack of ubtan with 2 tbsp of oat flour and 1 tbsp of water. Bend over the sink, dip your second, third and fourth fingertips into the mixture, and gently press the paste onto your face. This removes the dead skin cells without stripping the skin of its natural oils.
Put some plain water or rose water in a spray bottle and spritz the face a few times to moisten the skin.
