If you really haven't made a decision how to proceed to your epidermis to make which added glow, it's high time you put on your thinking cap as well as rush to your nearest skin care clinic. You might be late, but then there are always easiest solution options for your epidermis that you can get into and greet your valentine with a very clear, radiant and sparkling skin.

Here is your best guide to skincare for this special occasion:


o    Use a high quality sunscreen of SPF at least 25 on your epidermis before moving out. For people working in closed air conditioned places for long hours (which most of us do) there is a separate skin care.

"    AC drives out all the important oils and also natural moisturizing aspects (NMF's) out of the skin and thus these have to be supplemented on a 4 hour basis to be sure the hydration level of the epidermis is maintained. Also for all those working for extended hours in front of a PC, use a sunscreen combined with a moisturizer for your epidermis. For those who drive 2 wheelers, using a helmet and a sunscreen is a good idea.

o    At some point you had pimples, now you are left with embarrassing, ugly scars. So the greatest tip will be DON'T PICK those pimples or else they will form scars, especially if you have a similar family history. Steam your face 2 - 3 times per week and follow by using a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide gel at night. Steam is good for the face, but to make sure that you close the pores, please follow by using a toner or an astringent.

"    Don't use soap on the face of the very early in life. Soaps tend to leave a thin layer on your face that makes the skin look extremely dull and lifeless. Use a face wash.

o    This occasion is the time you gift yourself a Botox shot to remove away those lines and wrinkles from your face which have bothered you always. It takes just 3-5 mins to do this and you can enjoy a pleasant wrinkle free face.

o    Try staying away from straining your forehead muscles while reading a close print. Also, just before you step out of your car or even house out in the glaring sun, wear the dark UV protected sunglasses as this is the time we really strain our muscles around the eyes that lead to early wrinkling around the eyes, so beautifully called crow's feet in the animal world.

o    Exfoliation and hydration is a rule to have a flawless, smooth and supple epidermis and more so in the younger ages. But the frequency of exfoliation will depend further on your type of skin and also the environmental conditions.

"    More in places such as Mumbai and more frequent for those who face the direct pollution. However, it has to be gentle so that it does not harm the protective layer of epidermis.

"    You can even try a home made scrub of besan (gram flour) combined with a few lemon drops and also rose water. However get epidermis polishing (Microdermabrasion) 5-6 days earlier done at an expert place and trained person. Having a relaxing La marine/ Vitamin C clean up or even facial (depending on your epidermis type) the last day will get you all the glow that you are searching for.

o    Dark circles around eyes is also a common aggravating skin problem seen which makes our faces look very dull how much ever we attend to other issues on our face. For dark circles, Vitamin C serum massage in the beneath eye area during the night for 3 - 5 minutes is a great cure. Active ingredients such as Kojic acid, licorice, hydroquinone, azelaic acid, etc. are good lightening agents to be used alone or in blends, for use at night.

o    Smoking has been the biggest enemy of a good epidermis since ages. The toxin released not only makes the skin dark, dull and lifeless, but also sets of lines and wrinkles early causing early aging. It stains the teeth as well. Cigarette smokers are at a greater risk of sun damage on their epidermis as well.
