The light slightly sour buttermilk made by churning curd and removing the butter from it, is an excellent drink in summer. In India it has been considered useful from ancient times.

Buttermilk is used to cleanse the skin effectively.It supplies the nerves and the skin with healthy ingredients and counteracts the evil effects of exposure to harsh sun. The bacteria in buttermilk makes the skin soft and glowing.

                      Hi Babes, following the skincare tips today i will write about 10 Ways to beat wrinkles. Wrinkles can add years to your face. The market is flooded with tons of anti-wrinkle products but I personally believe that prevention is better than cure. Read on for the simple yet effective tips.


1. Protect your skin from the sun. Sun rays help form wrinkles. Before going out in the sun apply a layer of sunscreen on face and neck and gently spread with soft strokes using a brush or sponge. In all weather, every season, at all times wear a sunscreen before an outing.


2. Stop smoking. The skin around the mouth is prone to laugh lines and wrinkles. Smoking will speed up the process, so quit smoking if you want to stay young.


3. Deep cleanse the skin. Apply cleanser on your face and neck in dots and spread all over, massage gently. Keep on for a few minutes and remove with a damp cotton ball. Remember to wash your hands clean before massaging.


4. Deep moisturizing is the next step. Apply a rich moisturizer on dots all over your face and neck, use a brush or fingertips to spread on damp skin. Massage with gentle upward and outward stokes. Leave on for 5 to 10 mins and remove excess with a damp cotton ball. Instead of moisturizer any nourishing cream can be used. 


5. Boost the circulation of your skin. Take a coin sized amount of face wash and add a little water to it. Smear it all over your face and neck. Now lather it with a gentle face brush or simply use a gent's shaving brush, exfoliate with soft hands. Alternately, use a facial scrub once a week for that healthy rosy glow. Take a little scrub and gently massage it onto your damp face and neck. Wash off and pat dry. 


6. Pamper regularly. Facials are your best bet to pamper your skin, get it done regularly or do it yourself at home. Every week apply a suitable face pack on face and neck. 


7. Be weather vain. In hot weather use light products and in cold weather use rich and heavy preparations. 


8. Be gentle. While applying anything on your face be it soap, lotion, pack, scrub etc be very very gentle. Being rough with your skin can cause severe damage. 


9. Disguise the already formed lines on your face. Cover up with a white or yellow concealer. Apply using a brush under eye-area and around mouth-area. Blend well.


10. Clever makeup. Apply foundation after properly priming your face, primer hides wrinkles to some extent. Top it off with a light translucent power using a fluffy brush.
