The first step towards this challenge is to go a day or more without any makeup or products. It is essential that we understand how harmful makeup could be for our skin. The constant exposure to chemicals and toxins on our delicate skin causes breakage and damage if used for a long time.

Hence, we suggest that we go a day or more without the use of any makeup. We recommend you wash your face and then allow your skin to breathe the entire day.

The second step can be going all out on your favourite skincare. Now that we have given our skin some breathing space, we now go back to nourishing it with carefully handpicked products that will give your skin the boost it deserves. Using the right serums, creams and masks can really calm your skin from all the pollution we experience on a daily basis.

The third step includes your eating and drinking habits. Ensuring that we consume a good amount of vegetables and fruits throughout the day is very important. Do not forget to drink sufficient water. Making sure we consume at least 7-8 glasses of water a day is important to keep your skin feeling hydrated.
Alcohol, fried food, and trans-fat are some things we can stay away from to meet our skincare goals. Laying off salt and sugar can help you to win this challenge.
Lastly, keep a close check on your mental health.

Exercising has proved to improve mental health and keep our skin and body feeling and looking young. Making sure we fit in a 30-minute brisk walk, yoga or swimming is important as that can help our skin, body, and overall being. With excessive sweating, it also helps wash away the dirt and cleanses the pores.
It is also important that we take time off our busy schedules. Sleeping for a full eight hours is also essential. Our minds run at a rapid speed, and sometimes it is important to slow it down and enjoy some peace and quiet.
