Your skin glows differently when it is healthy. So the major focus on valentine's day preparation should be to keep your skin healthy. And the easiest way to achieve healthy skin is by following the CEM ritual religiously. Read on.
Cleanse
Your skin goes through a lot during the day. It is the pollution, dust and smoke that sticks to your skin surface making it dull and also inviting many other skin problems. Which is why come what may, cleansing your skin every day is non-negotiable. However, you can make changes on the cleanser you choose and the frequency you use it for. For example, for oily skin, it is preferable to use a lightweight soapy cleanser that does not cause greasiness. On the other hand, for dry skin, you should use a creamy cleanser that does not irritate the skin. Similarly, for normal skin, the cleanser should be neutral, neither too creamy nor too soapy to clean your T zone. If you do not want to go on choosing different cleansers for your skin, you can simply opt for a natural cleanser that is infused with organic ingredients. Such natural cleansers are apt for all skin types as they are chemical-free and do not hurt the skin in any way.
While going for a natural cleanser, you can also try the ingredients found in the kitchen, like aloe vera, lemon, turmeric etc. However, preparing a concoction out of it and finding pure ingredients can be a task. Instead, you can look for reliable brands that deal with pure natural ingredients and believe in the power of nature for skincare woes. Just like Coco Soul
Coco Soul is an au natural beauty brand that is created with a belief that mother nature has the answers to all your skin woes. It believes that the beauty secrets of Ayurveda are much more effective than the chemical-based skincare remedies today.

Exfoliation
Yes, using a face wash every day is a must, but equally important is exfoliating your skin. Over time, dead skin cells and oil gets accumulated on your skin, which clogs the pores, inviting skin problems like blackheads and breakouts. Therefore, you must use a face scrub regularly to remove the debris of the dead skin and reveal your natural glow. You should be careful while exfoliating your face and must check your skin type before you pick any random face scrub. For example, it is not advisable to use a face scrub that contains granules for sensitive skin, as it can cause rashes and irritation. For dry skin, it is better if the scrub is mild and does not cause dryness, for oily skin, soapy and gel-based scrub is preferred and for normal skin, scrub with finely grounded particles is a good choice.
However, any face scrub that contains chemicals pose a risk of irritating your skin. The best solution is using a natural face scrub that is free from any chemical compounds just like Coco Soul Face Scrub. It is infused with natural ingredients and virgin coconut oil which is good for all skin types. It is like a gentle kiss on the skin that unclogs your pores and purges skin impurities without causing any dryness on the skin. This face scrub cleans your skin of all the dirt, dead skin and sebum and leaves your skin even-toned, clear and flawless. It contains -
- Sandalwood - Revered in eastern culture, it reduces the oxidative stress in the skin, minimises age spots and reverses sun damage
- Virgin coconut oil - Called as an elixir in Ayurveda, it hydrates and nurtures the skin
- Venivel - It gently exfoliates your dead skin, removes excess oil and renews your skin.
This face scrub is free from parabens, sodium chloride, sulphates, silicones, DEA, mineral oils, petroleum, and any other chemical compounds. Exfoliating your skin before V-day will remove all the impurities, help better absorption of skincare products and give you glowing skin naturally.
Moisturize
A nourished skin is an underrated secret to glowing skin. When your skin is dehydrated or dry, the flakes appearing on it make you look dull and patchy. Which is why, in order to get glowing skin at home, it is important to moisturize it well. For dry skin, your moisturizer should be creamy and nourishing, for oily skin, a non-greasy and lightweight moisturizer works well. Similarly, for normal skin, you can use a moisturizer that has a thin and light consistency. You can use natural ingredients found in the home such as coconut oil for moisturization or look for products that are infused with natural ingredients. For example, the Coco Soul-nourishing Body Lotion is like a genie in a bottle that melts in your skin easily, penetrating deep into the skin layers to give you a moisturised glow. Its luxurious, non-greasy texture makes it suitable for everyday use. Due to its lightweight texture, you can use it as a base before makeup and get glowing skin at home. It contains
- Virgin coconut oil - It is loaded with fatty acids and antioxidants that nourish and nurture your skin.
- Sandalwood - A natural plant-based ingredient, it minimises age spots and reverses sun damage.
- Welmi - Rich in vitamin C, it reduces skin dullness and gives you a dewy and radiant glow.
