Great skin and healthy hair is simply a matter of following an effective yet easy routine with minimal ingredients and products. Every person has a different routine for hair and skin. This article is how I go about taking care of my skin and hair. My weekly skin care routine mainly consists of a few steps. Cleaning, that is washing our skin with a gentle face wash, scrubbing, applying face mask, toning or applying antioxidants to create the right balance and moisturising for hydrating and softening the skin. My weekly hair care routine consists of three simple steps. Head massage with homemade herbal oil, application of natural hair mask and then washing with a mild shampoo.
