Question: How do I stay beautiful for my new husband?

Hi,

My age is 27 and I was married on 7th Nov. 2005. I need
to take care of my skin for my husband. He is more
conscious than me about my dressing and my makeup. I think I now look older than my age. Kindly help me out.
Looking forward for your answer.

Answer:

Congratulations on your marriage. I'm sure you're very busy adjusting to your new life and new role as "wife", and this
can be a very stressful as well as being very exciting.

This is what I tell every newlywed: Be sure to take care of yourself. It's easy to be overwhelmed with the newness
of marriage and you want to please your husband by being the perfect wife, but you must not forget that your
needs are important, too. Do one thing everyday that makes you happy or makes you laugh. It can be a small thing like
watching a beautiful sunset, or smelling a fragrant flower, or listening to a favorite piece of music, or dancing to a romantic song.
The important thing is to treat yourself well by doing something for YOU.

The best tips I have for keeping your skin looking bright
and young are:

1. Be sure to get enough sleep. Being tired will make you
look older. You need at least 7 hours of sleep a night.

2. Drink plenty of water. Being dehydrated will make your
skin look parched.

3. Smile. When you use the face muscles to smile, you
release natural endorphins in your brain that act almost like
an opiate and you'll start to feel good. When you feel good,
you look good.

4. Don't go to sleep with make up on. It will dry out your
skin and make it prone to blemishes. I use baby oil to
remove makeup which I pour right onto my hands. I apply
the oil in a circular motion starting at my jawline and moving
up to my forehead and out to my ears, and I use the same
motion over my eyes: I start at my nose and move out to
the end of my eyebrow and under my eye. Put very little
pressure behind this motion because you don't need to
rub the skin hard to loosen the makeup.

5. Use a mild soap and wash with warm water in the morning
and again in the evening before you go to bed.

6. Use a light moisturizer at night. You shouldn't need one
during the day at your age unless you are living in a dry
environment. Pat your face dry with a cotton towel after
washing. While there is still a thin layer of water on your
face, apply a moisturizer in the same circular, upward
motion that I described above.

I hope I've helped.
