Skin Care (त्वचा की देखभाल)
Skin Care : Skin, being the outermost layer of the body, and most affected by the weather because it directly feels the impact of the seasons. Healthy skin is essential for a healthy body. Skin care is most needed during the hot summers and rainy seasons, as the skin directly senses the weather. In addition to maintaining a healthy diet, practicing yoga, and exercising, it’s also necessary to take other precautions for healthy skin.

In modern lifestyles, it’s not just heat and pollution that affect the skin, but also the lack of proper nourishment due to a busy lifestyle. Smoking, lack of adequate sleep, depression, other health problems, diet, and increasing pollution all lead to issues like blemishes, dark spots, pimples, blackheads, and dullness of the skin.
