Positive actions repeated daily can become beautiful habits that allow you to become the strong, confident, beautiful woman you want to be – inside and out. We take a look at what natural beauty means to actress Natasha Thahane.
“Natural beauty means loving your unique complexion and skin tone, and doing your best to keep your skin soft, smooth and radiant. As an actress, it’s often hard to find time to do the little things that help my skin look its best,” says Natasha.
These are some of the habits that keep her on track while tackling her busy schedule:
Don’t compromise on morning moisture
In the morning, as you’re rushing to get ready, it can be tempting to skimp on your skincare routine. Don’t! Those few minutes spent applying your beauty cream will protect and care for your skin throughout the day. Without protection, exposure to the sun can cause dark marks.
Designed specifically to protect and care for African skin, POND’S perfect colour complex™ Beauty Cream helps to even out existing dark marks and protects against new ones.
Take daily walks
A brisk walk at lunchtime with deep breath is a great way to improve your skin’s natural glow by adding oxygen and improving circulation to your skin.
Eyes bright, every day
Long hours of work can leave you with tired, puffy eyes. Therefore, remember to take breaks from your screen every few hours to rest your eyes. After work, place cool, moist tea bags on your eyes. The caffeine instantly refreshes them.
Meals and snacking
Healthy eating habits are an easy way to fuel yourself for busy work days and keep your skin looking fresh.
Always eat breakfast. Oatmeal is a great energising breakfast that’s high in skin-cleansing fibre. As a mid-morning or afternoon snack, grab a tomato on the go. Tomatoes contain lycopene, which boosts your skin health with powerful antioxidants and helps to rebuild damaged skin cells.
Go green!
Coffee may seem like a great go-to work beverage, but it can dehydrate your skin. For that energy boost, rather switch to green tea. It’s filled with antioxidants, which are great for your skin.
There you have it. If you look after your skin every day, you’ll be beautiful for the rest of your life!
