Simple things that will not take too long, and there will be a difference if consciousness and regular look and feel. What advice will I give here?

Festive skin and hair care | Simple step to help you see and feel fresh

Dry fruits are mostly an essential part of Indian festivals. Along with all our festivals, very dry fruit that we pack in jail to use later. Here's a better way to use these almonds, and that will not increase weight! Take at least 10 almonds and keep them daily daily. If you do not have time now, then make a small packet and mix it in dust, fig, almond, walnut and soil soil and keep it in your handbag all the time. When you feel lazy on the oil ride.

Almond milk is also excellent and your home mixer can be made very easily at home. To keep your energy level high, try a small glass daily.

The skin and effect of the change of weather and skin slowly affect the skin. Dry fruits can also be used to use an amazing face, which will lift your skin and the fastest and chasing of the skins.

Simple Remedy For Stress-free Skin

Stress levels can be quite high during the festival as we tend overtire ourselves with inadequate hours of sleep. I think some soothing chamomile and lavender teas can be great ways of unwinding after a long exhausting day or in between chores.

Did you know Pooja flowers can also be used to look after you skin? Marigolds and roses are some of the most common flowers used in the festive this year don't throw away these flowers but use them to make some nourishing masks for your skin and hair.

Keep Eating Fresh Fruits

Raw foods have a great effect on the body. Not only do you feel your energy levels go up, fresh foods have a positive impact on the way your skin and hair looks too. So, when you are buying fruits for puja don't give away everything as prasad, keep some for yourself too. Make it a point to eat at least 5 pieces of fresh fruit a day be it an apple, orange, a bowl of pomegranate, papaya or kiwi.

Pick up salad sticks between your organising chores. I always feel stocking up on healthy alternatives to munch on in the fridge helps make eating healthy and easier. Be it carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumbers or raw radish, eat as much and in plenty to keep your metabolism and energy levels high!

Things to avoid this festive should be the following:

• Too many late nights
