Simple, dermatologist-approved habits for healthy, glowing skin — from Dr. Geeta Garg
10 Dos and Don'ts for Beautiful Skin
Healthy skin starts with daily care. Follow these practical tips recommended by Dr. Geeta Garg to keep your skin clear, hydrated and radiant.
1
Remove Makeup Before Bed
Always remove your makeup before hitting the sheets. The skin needs to breathe overnight. Use a mild cleanser for gentle removal.
2
Apply Sunscreen Daily
Use sunscreen with SPF of at least 20–25 that blocks both UVA and UVB rays. For beach or reflective surfaces (snow/ice), choose SPF 30 or higher. Lifetime sun exposure causes wrinkles, age spots and other problems.
3
Eat Skin-Friendly Food
Focus on fresh fruits, greens, sufficient protein and vitamins. A diet rich in vitamin C and low in fats and sugar promotes radiant skin. Lowering sugar helps keep insulin levels balanced.
4
Exercise Regularly
Running, jogging or yoga improves blood circulation and accelerates the body's natural cleansing process. You'll notice a natural glow on your face after working out.
5
Get Enough Sleep
Aim for at least 8 hours of sleep every night. Lack of sleep makes skin sag and causes under-eye bags. Always wash and moisturize your face before bed.
6
Stay Hydrated
Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. Also eat high-water-content fruits and vegetables like watermelon, cucumber, orange, strawberry and grapefruit.
7
Wash Your Face Twice Daily
Cleanse your face with warm water at least twice a day to remove dirt, oil and pollutants that accumulate throughout the day.
8
Wash Hair Regularly
Wash your hair at least twice a week with a mild shampoo to keep the scalp clean and prevent buildup that can affect skin and hair health.
9
Follow a Skin Care Routine
For dry skin, apply an emollient or coconut oil on slightly damp skin after bathing. This improves spreadability and gives skin good suppleness.
10
Manage Stress
Stress increases cortisol and makes skin oilier, leading to breakouts. Practice breathing exercises, yoga or meditation. The more you meditate, the more you radiate.
