Getting Clearer Skin

I have adopted a skin care routine recently, which has helped me to achieve clearer skin. I used to walk for hours everyday to reduce weight (I hate going to gym!!!!). It helped me reduce weight but due to excessive exposure to the sun my skin was tanned like 8-10 shades darker than my original skin color (you can call that sun burnt), anways with this skin care routine i was able to regain my colour within a few months. Let me share that with you guys:

Morning routine: 

1. Wash face with Ponds White Beauty face wash .


It helps clearing your skin. Trust me it lives up to its name. 

2. Apply Ponds Clarant B3 cream.


Don't expect instant results with this, you have wait for like a week to see some results. It worked on me and if you skin type is same as mine i am sure it will help you guys too. 

Before Sleeping: 

1. I wash my face again with the same ponds white beauty face wash. 

2. And then i apply the Vitamin E skin lotion from the body shop. 


It gives a soft feeling on my face and my face becomes very soft. I apply this every alternate day. 

Last but not the least. 
Drink loads and loads of water. 

This routine has helped me achieve clearer skin. I hope some of you guys reading my posts find this helpful too. 

Have a Great Day!!!!
