We asked our beauty expert, Mrs. Medha Singh, CEO, JUVENA Herbals to share a detailed guide on how women can prep their skin up ahead of Valentine's Day.
Morning Routine For Skin
Begin with cleansing your face with a herbal cleanser. Massage skin for five minutes with a natural massage cream. Look for creams with ingredients like turmeric, saffron and essential oils that are great for your skin. Once the massage is done, wipe your face with a moist cotton pad. Next, apply a face pack prepared using a mix of almond powder and wheat flour. Add in some orange juice. Apply this face mask for 10 minutes and then wash.
Apply a blend of olive and almond oil in equal quantities all over the body, give a gentle massage for 7 minutes and then head for your shower.
