Though one of the most sensitive, our ‘skin’ is one of the most vital organs that saves us from external damages. Our skin ages with time, but, airborne toxins like smog, dirt and dust can rapidly intensify the skin ageing process. Reason: These airborne toxins settled on our skin react with the sun’s UV rays and form free radicals (highly charged oxygen molecules) that rapidly damage the collagen and the skin cells. Here are the 5 ways with which you can easily protect your skin from pollution and slow down the ageing process:

1. Wash your skin daily.

Every morning and night, rinse your skin thoroughly with plain water. Follow it up with a good or preferably an herbal face wash, an exfoliator/ scrubber, a cleanser and a moisturiser.

2. Blocking Pollution

Yes, you can at least limit your exposure to pollution! A good sunscreen (at least SPF 30) can limit the overexposure to harmful UV rays. Layer it up with a moisturiser, which can create a barrier between your skin and the free radicals. If you have to go out on the streets, don’t forget to carry a scarf and sunglasses to block pollution and protect your face.

Get Sunglasses, Scarfs and all beauty products from brands like Mango, Giordano, River Island, Carlo Rino and more at Zalora and bid a goodbye to pollution and harmful UV rays. With Zalora coupons, you get up to 15% off plus RM 25 off on your next purchase.

3. Limit exposure to Chlorine

Tap water consists of excess amount of chlorine that can cause skin damage. Whenever you wash your face, make sure you use only filtered water. Limit your exposure to swimming pools as well.

4. Water and Omega 3

All of us know that having plenty of water throughout the day not only washes off the toxins and free radicals from your body, but, it also keeps the skin moisturised and hydrated. Optimum perspiration keeps your skin plum and free from wrinkles. On the other hand, Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids are well known to shield the effect of harmful UV rays. Omega 3 can be found in kidney beans, walnuts, salmon, oysters, spinach and other green veggies.

5. Antioxidants

Anti-oxidants can neutralise the effect of free radicals. Vitamin C and E can even reverse your age spots that are triggered by pollution. Carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, squash and other green vegetables are some of the antioxidant rich foods.

Did your eyes popped up over that dress which Angelina wore at the red carpet? Dressing up like a celebrity does not always require you to be rich and beautiful, what it truly requires is ultra- smart brain work. Here are the five essential tips that will help you to dress up for a party like a celebrity:

1. The laid- back look

Be yourself – that’s what most celebrities boast out through their outfits. Just like Kristen Stewart, a simple tee and jeans with boots and jacket can create that deadly teen- party look. With this look, you can be assured of both comfort and style. The look is best suitable for night/ pub parties, friend/ family get-together and casual birthday parties.

2. Accessories speaks it all

Whether it is Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt- no celebrity look is complete without a pair of dashing sunglasses. Agree? Whatever you wear (except for wedding parties), some of these accessories are a must have in your party essentials wardrobe list – sunglasses, boots, wrist watch, loud finger rings and earrings and of course a matching clutch or wallet to hold all your touch up stuff for the party.

3. Flaunt your curves

It’s considered quite unethical to show off your curves at the workplace – so, why miss even a single chance of showing off your hard earned curves at an informal party! Just like the perfect curves of Beyoncé, you can easily create this style by putting on a Bodycon dress or perhaps a gown, for all grand occasions. Match it up with a choker and a pair of stilettoes to complete the look.

Invited for a wedding ceremony? Get this look with blockbuster offer of up to 70% off and BoGo offers, only at Zalora online store with exclusive Zalora coupons.

4. Style your hair

Whether you keep that messy look or give it perfection with curls and waves- doing the right hair that compliments your dress is of prime importance. If it is a wedding ceremony you should prefer making buns that can suitably compliment your gown and if you are intending to give a cool look at the bachelorette party, then let your open natural hair do the talking!

Get the perfect hair done for the party with the latest range of cosmetics, hair dryers, hair straighteners and more from Lazada and grab a discount of up to 70% off with exclusive deals, using Lazada coupons.
