We all desire beautiful skin, sans the blemishes, but we hardly put in the extra effort (guilty as charged). In our day-to-day life filled with chaos and to-do-lists, who has the time to visit the salon and pamper your skin, right? Most of us don't even take out 20 minutes from our routine to cleanse our skin, let alone intensive skin care. But what we don't realise is that most skin-types need a regular face clean up for that healthy, radiant look. Note: It's time to take care of your skin by acing the basics. After all, your face is what gives you away when you are excited, happy or stressed. Our skin needs to be taken care of on a regular basis. Even if you visit a salon or call an at-home beautician regularly, it doesn’t substitute the daily face cleanup at home regime that you can do. Face cleanup at home was never this important. We bring you a step-by-step guide on how to clean face at home in no time, plus expert tips to enhance your natural beauty, and keep blemishes at bay.
