Asin's Health And Diet Tips

 
For instance, she's an early riser and never misses her morning breakfast. She totally avoids refined foods and abhors sugar which is rightly labelled as "white poison".

Also she never drinks caffeinated beverages like tea and coffee and prefers milk, coconut water & fruit juices instead. She's also averse to smoking and drinking (alcohol). She also consumes lots of water and swears by its goodness.

Green leafy veggies, fruits, nuts and fish form an important part of her diet. She is not a party animal; so if she's not working late, goes to bed early. Being a Malayalee, she's fond of Ayurvedic therapeutic massages and always prefers Ayurvedic medications over allopathic ones. 
 

Asin's skin care routine


Regarding her skin care routine, Asin says that as she is blessed with good skin, she does not clog the pores with excess makeup. If you have noticed, she's one of the fewer South Indian actresses, whose makeup is always subtle and elegant.

No matter how much tired she is, at the end of the day she always makes it a point to remove her makeup. She washes her face with lukewarm water followed by a splash of cold water. She suggests that one must not touch the face unnecessarily. The more you touch your face the more it will react, she adds.

She also advises that one should be gentle while handling the face and not rub the skin too hard while washing as it can ruin the facial skin in the long run. Her favourite homemade beauty aids are sandalwood paste and honey which work wonders on her flawless skin.

    Wash your face everyday, and before you go to bed, wash off any make up on your face. If you drink, you will have a better chance of keeping acne free.

    A good skin care routine would be part of your daily living. When you get up in the morning wash your face with cleanser for your skin type, whether it is oily or dry, then use your toner,and then moisturise.You use your face scrub occasionally to remove dead skin from your face, you can use your cleansing wipes when your in a hurry or pressed for time. Also wash again at night before bed. If your skin is extra oily wash at least 3 times a day,

    Morning
    - Wash face with a gentle cleanser (try Olay Moisture Balancing Foaming Face Wash)
    - Tone (try splashing your face with cold water after cleansing)
    - Apply moisturizer with SPF 15+ (try Aveeno Ultra Calming Daily Moisturizer)

    Evening
    - Wash face with gentle cleanser
    - Tone
    - Moisturize (try Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion)

    The simpler the routine, the better. Using too many products or products that are harsh will just irritate your skin. I use all of the products listed above and recommend them, but you can use whatever you like.

  4. In my opinion-- start with a gentle cleanser in the morning, then use toner and moisturiser (with SPF). this works best if all the products are from the same range.

    Cleanser, face wash, and face wash gel are all the same thing. Face scrub is also a cleanser but is more abrasive and exfoliates your skin. Use that twice a week . No more than that. Use it after cleansing.

    You should:
    Apply eyemakeup remover (only if you have eyeliner or eyeshadow on)
    Cleanse your face.
    Use toner.
    Then moisturize.

    Statistics say that if you change your diet to a healthy one, work out daily, and get involved in extra curricular activities, you are more prone to being more socially active and you reduce the chance of falling into depression and committing suicide.

    Walk to work or school, or ride a bike, instead of driving in. Or walk to the grocery store, fill up your bag with groceries, and walk home. I like to do that on summer nights for fresh air and exercise.

    Always apply your moisturiser in upwards sweeping motions. Dragging it down your face will only cause skin to sag. A mini massage will boost circulation too, so rub in the cream in circular motions.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

Lemon as a beauty aid

The diminutive lemon is a very versatile beauty-aid and this cheap and golden-coloured fruit has excellent properties for enhancing your looks. Simple lemon-based preparations, you can mix in your own kitchen, will surely bring a dramatic transformation in your beauty regimen.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
