5 Things To Keep In Mind While Kick-Starting Your Career

Transforming education into a fruitful career is a lot of hard work. Nothing comes easy, nor does the first job. Since there's a lot of competition, the right opportunities are rare. Which is why you should be on your heels when kick-starting your career. The fundamentals of tasting success depend upon career planning towards the very beginning. If you too are on the verge of graduating, the following career-building tips will surely prove to be a goldmine of opportunities waiting to be explored.

1. START EARLY

Counting purely on on-campus placement is not the right thing to do. Instead, you should start job hunting early. The primal benefits that make early job hunting a healthy career tip are listed below.

You have more time to explore different opportunities

Giving out interviews is a self-grooming habit that will make you confident

You get to explore the different terrains that interviewers usually focus on. It increases the chances of you cracking your dream interview

2. BUILD YOUR RESUME

Whilst it might be easier to get a job for starters, remember, it takes a lot of effort to get your dream job. And, the one thing that can set you apart from your peers is a better resume. But what is exactly a better resume?

Well, a better (strong) resume is a harmonious combination of practical skills and good grades. Precisely, an academically strong resume with a touch of practical knowledge is what employers look for. Thus,

Take up internship courses to strengthen your resume

Take up vocational courses that vouch for the fact that despite being a fresher, you're not a novice

3. BUILD YOUR PERSONALITY

Yes, employers do make a call whether or not to hire a candidate based upon the confidence level that the person radiates. Under-confident and overconfident people usually end up losing their chance. Nevertheless, building the right personality with a positive attitude can totally help you in getting the job of your dreams.

Take mock tests to improve your speech skills

Join personality development classes if you're an introvert or a nervous speaker

Remember, the right candidate is the one with the right amount of confidence, the ability to listen and learn, and the art of humbly putting forward views fearlessly. In other words, an ideal candidate is persuasive as well as diplomatic at the same time.

4. REALIZE YOUR INTEREST

Identify your own personality to unveil whether you're a born leader with entrepreneurial ambitions or someone more inclined towards the job culture.

Beginning the career with a job in a start-up is the correct option for candidates looking forward to establishing their own brand sometime in the future.

Aiming for branded companies is the right path for people with a skilled mindset aiming towards a more secure beginning and a less risky future.

5. BUILD CONNECTIONS

Building connections is the best method to kick-starting your career on a high note. The best ways to maintain a strong career profile are;

Stay connected with professionals you meet during internships

Put your best foot forward by staying active on social media

Attend social meetups with alumni for career tips   

All in all, an aware candidate is always the right candidate. As long as you have the ability to adapt to tricky situations, you'll have a better hand at starting your career with something that'll be more than a job - may be passion. To know more visit:https://www.womensocialcorner.com/

5 Women Who Are Changing The Faces Of Men's Careers

Not much introduction is needed here because we all know that women have been kept out of various professional fields for a long time. But as we move forward in the 21st century, the global image of the working woman is changing, and here are 5 shining examples!

#5 – J.K. ROWLING

While women have indeed served as great writers throughout history, the story of Ms. Rowling is quite different. While her stories about the young magician boy who lives in a cupboard has filled all sizes of hearts with joy, her primary audience is young men. And the fact that a woman writer can captivate a male audience is quite the task. She was even asked to place her initials instead of her full name by her publishers because they thought boys wouldn’t buy a book written by a woman. We believe her work speaks for herself!

#4 – SARA BLAKELY

One of the youngest billionaires right now, Sara Blakely is a self-made businesswoman and the founder of Spanx. She has said that one of the greatest natural resources of this world is now being unlashed which is the power of women. She stands to be a beacon for entrepreneurial women across the world who are tired of seeing the 500 Fortune list being dominated by 490 men.

#3 – DUTEE CHAND

This Indian track athlete not only brings forth her third world struggles, but she is also the first openly homosexual athlete to emerge from the country. In a field that is mostly credited to men, she brings with her Olympic golds, and a national record! Chand hails from a small family but has ran (literally) to achieve her dreams. She says that every medal she earns is a reply to her critiques, and we need more firebrands like her across the world!

#2 – OPRAH WINFREY

Is any such list possible without the presence of the queen herself? Hailed by many as the ‘most powerful woman alive’, Oprah is the ultimate representative for women of color all around the world! When she entered the world of talk shows, it was quite rebellious for a woman to take the centre stage in television, let alone one of African American descent. Needless to say, her wit was unmatched at every stage.

#1 – MEGAN RAPINOE

Making headlines across the world, Megan Rapinoe is the captain of the American women’s soccer team. She has brought forth the issue of the humongous pay gap that exists even in first world countries between genders. Her fight for equality has even led her head to head with President Trump, with the latter gathering very little weight. Watch her latest speech for added empowerment!

#0 – YOU

Yes, the most important woman who shall make the next big change is you. Believe it or not, you do have the capability. So, choose the career where you believe your heart lies and don’t be afraid to give it your all. Not only will you not fail, but you will be the next shining example that will set the trend!

Career and Motherhood: How To Be the Superwoman Who Can Do It All?

While the world is changing with every passing day, and the opportunities available to women are indubitably expanding, so are the associated duties, responsibilities, and expectations that they have to deal with.

While 21st-century women have opportunities that their female ancestors never dreamed of, the traditional expectations haven't gone away. In fact, the pressure is greater than ever before!

Old Duties, New Expectations

After all, our grandmothers didn't have to deal with celebrities on Twitter giving them #CoupleGoals to live up to, or a plethora of parenting journals calling into question the quality of their child-rearing strategies.

So, to be considered a success, not only does a modern woman have to be a good wife and mother, but she also has to be a great employee, entrepreneur, an expert in her domain, and in great physical shape to boot!

The catch? There are still 24 hours in a day and we still need to sleep for six of them.

So, who are these superwomen who can have it all and what are their secrets? Let's dive in and find out so that you too can find that perfect balance to have the well-rounded and fulfilling life you've always dreamed of!!

Harness the Power of Technology

While the 21st century has brought with it many a new problem, it also has many solutions to offer. Most of these are in the form of new technologies and gadgets that can help you save a ton of time. Women must master the use of these technologies so as to find the time to do all the things they need to, both at home and at the workplace, without feeling overwhelmed.

Many household chores that our ancestors had to do manually can be done via machines within a fraction of the time. So invest in a set of high-quality appliances such as washing machines, dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, etc. Cook meals for a couple of days at a time and stores everything in the refrigerator. And when you don't feel like cooking after a hard day of work? Just click open the food delivery app on your smartphone and order in!

Seek Help from the Community

It takes a village to raise a child. Well, you may not have access to a village, but your neighbors at the residential colony, extended family, and office colleagues can serve the same purpose. No one can do it all alone, so women today need to build strong relationships with those around them in order to achieve their goals.

For instance, if you struggle to find the time to drop your kid to school before work every day, share carpool duties with other working moms in the locality. That way, each of you will be responsible for dropping the kids off to school for one or two days a week, and you can have the rest of the week free to finish off your chores and errands.

In the same way, if you have an important project coming up at work, you can always invite your parents and in-laws to stay over for a few days or send the kids to stay with them for the duration of the project. A vacation for your kids and some extra free time for you – all in one!

Know Your Rights

A modern woman must know her rights, both at home and at the workplace. No government or legislation can help you if you do not take the first step in educating yourself and increasing your awareness about the rights that you have in various spheres of life.

So speak to HR to know how much paid maternity leave your company offers, how many days of leave you can reasonably ask for in order to take care of your family and children, and what other facilities the organization offers to the parents of young children. You'll be surprised how many policies and facilities most companies have on paper, that employees hardly ever make use of due to a lack of awareness.

Likewise, when at home, ask your partner to share some of the household chores and childcare duties. If both of you work a nine-to-five job, there's no reason why the household responsibilities should be borne by one person alone

Conclusion

These are just some of the factors that can help you create the ideal balance in your life, enabling you to reach the heights of success in your career as well as in family life. Try them, and let us know if they worked for you, or if you have some other tips that modern women can use to build the life of their dreams! To know more visit: https://www.womensocialcorner.com/

Freelancing - A Wonderful Opportunity for Homemakers

Merriam Webster Dictionary defines homemaker as someone who manages a household as a spouse or a parent; this role is generally played by women.

Back in times, the only role a woman was supposed to play was of a loving wife, caring daughter-in-law, and a nurturing mother. She had no other option given to her for growth, except for being a housewife. In fact, to tell you the truth, women were not aware of their passions and their need to be financially independent. Fortunately, this idea has been evolving gradually now, but the number of women, who are married and active in their careers, is still not satisfactory. Such women are still looked down upon by society for not being much involved in household chores and for not looking after the spouse and kids. A lot has been talked about gender role reversal but that is for some other time.

It is, actually, difficult for a woman who has a dynamic career before her marriage and starts giving it a lesser time because now, she has another job of adjusting to a new life. And once the kids get into the picture, you have to stop your career completely. There are some companies that are reluctant to have married women on-board because they are skeptical about the focus and dedication she is required to give to her work. Women now need ways in which they can be financially independent and simultaneously can also look after her house and children.

FREELANCING

Such work-from-home opportunities give women elasticity in time so that they can schedule household chores and job effectively. She will not regret missing her children’s growing years by actively involving herself in their studies and other activities without sabotaging her career.

Tips to deal with WorkPlace Harrashment

Workplace harassment garners a lot of attention when big names like Harvey Weinstein, Roger Ailes, and Isaiah Thomas hit the newspapers. But most of the workplace harassment stories remain between the victim and the perpetrator.

WHAT IS HARASSMENT?

Harassment is any verbal or physical misdemeanor based on sex, race or religion. It can include offensive jokes, insults, threats, physical assault, and other offensive behavior. It is important to understand what is happening to you because getting harassed can be stressful, and it takes a toll not only on your career but also on your mental health. Here is what you can do to deal with it and create a healthier work environment for yourself.

Let the Persecutor know about his behavior

According to studies, less than 10 victims in a working environment let their bully know what they are doing is wrong and is making them uncomfortable. This should not be the case which should be your first step. Tell the person that his behavior is inappropriate and he should refrain from it.

Report it

If the misconduct continues despite having warned the persecutor or you do not want to have such discussion with him in the first place, you can contact your supervisor and human resources (HR) department to let them know about his behavior. There are also people in companies who are designated to deal with harassment cases, and you can always go to them.

Write down everything

This is really important and will be useful for you in the future if you write down and record his behavior about everything that the bully did or said to you. The details like date, time, and place will help in making your report more authentic and will prevent the bully from manipulating the incident, calling it a misunderstanding on your part or just downright denying that it ever happened. It will be even better if you have someone, who has witnessed the harassment as it will make your case stronger. Also, when you are reporting the incident to your superior or the HR department, remember to give them a written report and keep a copy of it with yourself.

Garner support from your co-workers

If you are not the only employee who has been harassed by the person, then you can turn the situation to your advantage. Make the employee (s) your ally and file a complaint against the bully. This will make your case more authentic and strong. Find yourself a witness, who would be willing to support your case.

Talk to your family and friends

Harassment can get really bad if you are taking it all by yourself. An emotional backup will offer you the strength you need to fight with the bully. Talk to your close friends and family members about this so that you get the much-needed support and maintain your mental wellbeing.

Do not stay quiet; always raise your voice against the misdemeanor of the bully. If there is someone around you who are going through this, then let them know about what they can do and give them your support. To know more visit:https://www.womensocialcorner.com

Fitness Franchise – The Need of The Hour

While the general Indian population has never been acutely conscious about its health, the modern generation is showing a strong trend towards taking professional steps to maintain their health. If you were to become the owner of a premium fitness franchise in any major city in India, now would be the best time to make the most profit!

But there is more to just profit while owning a fitness franchise. This is truly a need of the hour and that is why you can face quick success if you handle your business the right way.

Let us take a look at the reasons behind this constantly rising demand for gym and fitness-based services.

DEGRADING FOOD HABITS AND LIFESTYLE

Both the degrading quality of food and the general tendency of people to have unhealthy food have increased massively in the last decade. As a result, conditions such as obesity, cholesterol, and heart problems have become quite common within the urban Indian population. Lack of enough physical activity owing to the current work structure also adds to such conditions and warrants the need for physical exercising. So, the rising level of unhealthy living has led to an increased demand for professional fitness centres.

THE TREND OF FITNESS

While many people do take to fitness to cure their illnesses, the young generation has also taken to it as a major trend. Being fit has become more of a social requirement than a personal one and thus people try to fit in gym time within their weekly routines. So, if you can bank on this fitness trend and the demands of the young generation, your franchise operation should be able to achieve quick growth. Additionally, the constant support from various celebrities towards a fit lifestyle also helps create strong demand.

AWARENESS TOWARDS HEALTH CONSCIOUSNESS

By owning a premium fitness franchise, you will not only be providing the means of being fit but also spreading a general message of health consciousness. The need for such awareness has never been stronger, and with the amount of sedentary lifestyle that is being practiced health consciousness becomes supremely important. A fitness franchise doesn’t simply gain you quick profit, it also provides the people with a service which has actual value and will truly help them.

DEDICATED MARKET

The above points should have been able to clearly explain why the rising demand for fitness is a business requirement you need to capitalize on. However, what makes owning a fitness franchise in current times, even more, business-friendly is the availability of a dedicated market. You will already be tapping in to a ready market, one where the organized service sector is not yet strongly formed. So, with the minimum advertisement, you will be able to achieve leader status and control a dedicated market with your world-class fitness franchise.

What makes owning a fitness franchise a much better option during current times is the fact that the young generation is craving for world-class fitness equipment and with our help you can bring it to them!

5 Enticing Tips to Protect the Skin from Sun Damage

Excessive sun exposure is gruesome for the skin. UV damage leads to all kinds of dreaded troubles like premature skin aging, sunburns, brown spots, inflammation, and itching. Even worse, sun damage can lead to pigmentation and dryness. The good news, however, is that sun damage can be reversed as well as prevented. So, whether your skin cells are already dwindling due to sunburns or you're trying to protect them from UV exposure, the skincare portal below is just the right choice. It is a compilation of some effective tips that'll work like a sunblock when followed religiously.

1. SOAK IN SUNSCREEN

Whilst almost everyone is aware of the importance of sunscreen, not everyone knows how to use it properly so that it can offer the protection it's expected to provide.

Apply it 15-20 minutes before stepping out in the sun.

Apply it even if it's cloudy.

Apply it even if you're staying indoors.

Pick the one with a broad UVA and UVB spectrum

Re-apply it every 3-4 hours.

That being said, broad-spectrum sunscreens reduce sunburns as well.

2. BEFRIEND SUNSHADES

Sunshades are protective shields that guard the skin against coming in direct contact with sun rays. The best ones include;

Broad hats

Umbrellas

Long-sleeve shirts

3. STAY ALERT ON THE BEACHES

Did you know that sand and seawater absorb sun rays and then radiate them as well? Which is why you must take adequate measures to protect your skin from them as much as you try to protect it from the direct sun.

Always use mats instead of sitting on the sand directly.

Do not jump in the seawater without using waterproof sunscreen.

Wash your body after sea-dipping and apply sunscreen generously.

4. HAIL HYDRATION

Hydrating the skin is one way of making it less prone to the side-effects of sun exposure. The surface of dehydrated cells is already delicate and is the easiest target for sun damage. Thus;

Consume water-mineral based summer fruits like watermelons and mangoes.

Drink 8-10 glasses of mineral water every day.

Keep splashing cold water on the skin to reduce the effect of a heat stroke

Use aloe gel to calm down the inflamed skin cells to avoid cell-shrinking and collagen damage.

5. PROVIDE AFTERCARE

Sunscreens protect the skin from;

Premature aging

Dryness

Sunburns

Itching

Inflammation

However, the one thing that they cannot completely prevent is tanning. Which is why aftercare is necessary. The easiest ways to remove suntan naturally are listed below

Apply curd every alternate day. It works as a natural de-tan exfoliator that removes dead skin cells.

Use night repair serums for collagen protection to keep skin cells supple and baby soft.

These are the few very effective ways to protect your skin from sun damage. That being said, despite the tips, avoid sunbathing for hours. It will only harm the skin further.

5 Secrets to Beat the Monsoon and Maintain Your Beauty

Out of all the seasons, it is monsoon that takes the heaviest toll on the skin and hair. Monsoon rains bring along a lot of humidity that can disrupt the normal pH level of the skin, leading to unpleasant beauty troubles like;

Acne

Bad body odor

Oiliness

Sebum buildup

Recurrent blackheads and whiteheads despite exfoliation, cleansing, and toning

Frizz

As if these troubles aren't enough that monsoon, on top of everything, also creates unnecessary moisture that makes the skin dry in some areas and oily in others.

Then, how do I maintain my beauty in Monsoon? This is the one question that bugs most women. Thankfully, we have 5 quick tricks that'll keep your beauty intact this season. So, hop on board and explore our beauty secrets to bloom and blossom like no one else.

1. Hydrate and Hydrate

By hydrating, we do not mean you follow just the usual chant - drink 8 glasses of water every single day. We also mean, keep spraying water on your face every now and then. Carrying a water spray dispenser is the ideal solution. Why?

Water will not let humidity and moisture block your pores.

Water will keep the skin non-oily and fresh as a daisy.

So, use the dispenser to spray the water freely whenever you feel that your skin is getting abnormally sticky. Follow this trick and experience some magic like never before.

2. LEMON AND HONEY TWIST

Ditch your usual exfoliator every alternate day to intermittently use a blend of natural lemon juice and pure honey (1:1/2). Wear it on clean face for about 15 minutes before washing it with tap water. Top it up with a non-sticky sunscreen.  

Ascorbic acid in lemon with work like a natural exfoliator that'll clean pores and remove dead cells and buildup of all kinds. Honey will keep the moisture intact without making the skin oily.

3. MAKEUP PRECAUTIONS

Makeup can actually block your pores that can worsen the situation during the rainy season. But it doesn't mean you need to ditch it altogether. Instead, make a few adjustments.

Ditch oil-based primers and foundations no matter your skin type. Instead, use gel-based solutions.

Avoid using a makeup setting spray as much as you can.

Do not use an alcohol-based makeup remover. It's best to use tea-tree oil or vetiver oil to wipe off makeup. This will spruce out other impurities too - bacteria, sebum, dead skin, and dust.

4. SCALP CONDITIONING

Focus on the scalp as much as you focus on your tresses. Use curd for the purpose of controlling frizz and freshening up the scalp. Apply it for about 30 minutes before a head wash every day. Do not forget to use a deep settling conditioner after shampooing. Also;

Avoid drenching your hair in rainwater for the love of God.

Use an SPF based hair serum because the sun gets more notorious during monsoon.

5. HOMEMADE MASKS

Well, in the end, everyone circles back to sandalwood, turmeric, and saffron. And it's not without a reason.

Turmeric is a natural brightening and anti-bacterial agent.

Sandalwood is a natural coolant and emollient.

Saffron is a natural skin whitening agent.

All 3 are, thus, an intricate part of skincare, especially in the rainy season. You can also team these ingredients with Aloe Vera, rose water, fuller's earth (Multani mitti), and Epsom salt.

So, instead of soiling up in the pit of unawareness this season, try the tricks we've mentioned to fix your beauty troubles.

Your skin is a parameter on how healthy you are from inside. We all have heard since our teenage years that we need to drink lots of water to keep the skin hydrated and glowing. But now, it is not just about the right amount of water. One needs to eat right, exercise daily, and follow a regular skincare routine. A lot has been advised about the other two, but a little has been said about the nourishment one needs from within. Let us discuss the foods we need to include in our diet to keep our skin healthy and glowing.

You can also apply the tomato puree on your face to activate lycopene. Apart from lycopene, tomatoes contain Vitamin C and other carotenoids which protect the skin from the sun. As carotenoids are fat-soluble compounds, pair up tomatoes with a source of fats namely butter, cheese or olive oil.

Lutein and beta carotene help in softening your skin. You can also use an avocado mask with 1 teaspoon of honey to have its benefits.

FATTY FISH

CARROTS

Carrot is a magical food - good for both eyes and skin breakouts. Loaded with beta carotene and Vitamin A, carrots help in degeneration of skin and slowing down of ageing. Vitamin A also plays an important role in reducing the development of skin cancer cells.

POTATOES AND SWEET POTATOES

Potatoes work as natural bleaching agent against sunburns, dark spots, skin blemishes, and dark circles. Beta carotene in sweet potatoes acts as sunblock and protects skin against sun damage.

DARK CHOCOLATE

Dark chocolate possesses antioxidant flavanol, which acts as a sunblock and reduces roughness in the skin. It also contains pre and probiotics which heal your gut and reduce inflammation.

5 Essential Oils for a Youthful Skin

Skin is sensitive, yet most exposed to all kinds of troubles - pollution, weather changes, and sun exposure. Whatever the cause, women tend to lose the sheen they once had. Dull, dry, and dark and pigmented skin is a nightmare that most women deal with on a day-to-day basis. Have such troubles started plaguing you lately? Well, if so, its best to take refuge in the bosom of nature and natural oils. The following Natural essential oils are the skin elixirs that will solve all your skin problems at once.

1. Tea Tree Oil

Tea Tree Oil is a legendary essential oil that's a perfect solution of acne-prone oily skin. It works as a charming antibacterial and antimicrobial agent that roots out deep settled acne- causing bacteria, extra oil, sebum, and dust. Besides, it is enriched with the goodness of antioxidants that fend off most free radicals, making the skin look up to 10 years younger than the actual age.

2. Lavender Oil

Lavender essential oil is an undisputed king of aesthetics for troubled sensitive skin that loses texture and softness at the hands of pollution and UV damage. It contains a balanced shot of antioxidants and also works as an antimicrobial agent. Regular use exfoliates the skin deeply, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, removes pigmentation and dullness caused due to the lack of moisturization, and removes redness due to sun damage.

3. Rosehip Oil

Rosehip essential oil is a legendary herbal oil that has aphrodisiac properties. It is known to promote the formation of new skin cells that are plump and baby soft. It is an ideal solution for all skin types - oily, dry, and sensitive - and is known to trigger the formation of collagen. Collagen, the natural skin's protein, is responsible for the production of new and younger skin cells. Since Rosehip essential oil strengthens and repairs damaged collagen, it effectively reduces and reverses all the signs of premature skin aging - age spots, sunspots, and fine lines and wrinkles.

4. Rosemary Oil

The features that set Rosemary oil apart from other cosmetics are, one, it is an ancient herbal oil with skin brightening properties, and second, it contains antioxidants in a very large amount. Its anti-inflammatory benefits and antioxidant effects reduce oxidative cell damage - caused due to the increase in free radicals that destroy healthy skin cells and damage the quality of collagen. The perpetual use of the very luxurious, Rosehip Oil can reduce dermatitis, skin inflammation and itching, fine lines and wrinkles, and discoloration.

5. Lemon Oil

Lemon essential oil is one of the best natural skin brightening and skin-repairing essential oils that have a mild bleaching effect too. It's an ancient citrus oil that also finds a mention in age- old Ayurveda as necessary skin food due to its skin-tightening and skin-whitening capability.There are, however, a few precautions when using lemon essential oil on the face.

● Always dilute it with rose water

● Always wear sunscreen after using it

● It's best when used as an overnight skin tightening remedy

These are the 5 best essential oils that, when used with the right ingredients - like aloe vera and honey - offer stunning skin brightening effects. They make the skin less wrinkled and less patchy. However, always do a patch test of 10 minutes before using any essential oil on your face. To know more visit: https://www.womensocialcorner.com

Best Face Mask Ingredients, That Really Do the Job

Face masks are an inexpensive way to pamper yourself, an affordable luxury. Almost every supermarket will have a wide selection of them, from black charcoal to watermelon. They might smell good, but not all face masks are benefiting your face. Some have ingredients that have been proven and tested by dermatologists, others are just a showy product to smear on your face. Face masks do have amazing benefits, when you find the right active ingredients. They can define, refine, and smooth complexions. They tighten and brighten and do an excellent job deep cleaning. When looking for face masks that actually serve a purpose, the following materials are exactly what you’re looking for.

INDIAN CLAY

Indian Clay acts similar to activated charcoal. It removes impurities and toxins. Dermatologists agree that Indian Clay gets deep into the pores, clearing them of dirt and toxins and has the ability to help control acne breakouts and provide clearer skin to users. Indian Clay can leave a slight redness to your face after use, but the end result is spectacularly vibrant skin.

COLLAGEN MASKS

Collagen is a protein that naturally exists in our bodies, but overtime we begin to lose it, causing wrinkles and skin sagging. These masks are all about smoothing out those fine lines and wrinkles. A mask rich in collagen will tone and firm aging skin and when used in a routinely, several times a week, has the ability to help slow down skin aging.

ACTIVATED CHARCOAL

Activated charcoal is not your barbeque grill charcoal. Instead it is a mixture of items, such as peat and coal that is processed at high temperature. Activated Charcoal is used in a variety of beauty treatment due to the ability to draw out toxins. This includes whitening teeth and when ingested, helping draw out poison. It has the ability to deep clean the skin by removing dead skin cells and excessive oils, making it the perfect ingredient in a mask meant to cleanse your face.

VITAMIN C

Vitamin C is another ingredient in face masks that is known for being an “anti-aging” ingredient. Yet, Vitamin C has a more important purpose as a face mask and that is brightening. Vitamin C has been known to help even out skin tone and aid in the disappearance of blackheads, creating a smoother and brighter complexion. Show me a woman who doesn’t want a smoother and brighter complexion.

When purchasing face masks, always look at the active ingredients list. Masks may list the above ingredients only to have very little of them in the actual product, which doesn’t benefit your face! The main ingredient that you’re looking for should be listed in the first 2-3 spots on the active ingredients list. While putting a fruit smoothie on your face may be entertaining and interesting, the best ingredients in a face mask should be dermatologist tested and have proven benefits to your skin routine.
