Exfoliating
Your Skin

- KNOW THEM ALL!

WWW.HEALTHSPECTRA.COM | JULY 2019

Healthy and glowing skin is what
makes you look approachable
and pleasant. Do you want to look
naturally pleasant?

What is exfoliating your
skin?

Exfoliation is a method of clearing out the
dirt and dead skin cells. The primary role
of exfoliation is to add freshness and a
cleared outlook to your face.

It is necessary to keep exfoliating the skin
because the skin witnesses numerous
changes because of age, hormones, and
health. The texture of the skin changes and
it requires care which is why there is a need
for exfoliation.

It is absolutely possible to achieve new skin
if you try some tricks and make the best
use of every home ingredient. There are
natural and non-natural ways of exfoliating
your skin. Know them all and choose what
suits you the best.

The non-natural exfoliators refer to chemi-
cal creams. Why use them on the skin when
you have so many ingredients at home that
will cater to your needs.

is categorized in three colors yellow, green

Green indicates that you are on high nutrition
and a low-calorie diet. This app suggests you
to eat green room food, yellow noom food or

for the time being but you are psychologically
trained in such a way that you will by default
learn how to train your mind and body in a
way that you will be able to stay away from
putting on weight even in the long run.

FLAW OF THE APP :

The flaw is that you would have to keep
yourself updated in it by regularly tracking
your status and you might find it to be a
tiresome task.

You would have to pay a subscription of
$50 per month which cannot be afforded
by all. Initially, when you try it, you can do
it for free.

CONCLUSION :

One cannot totally rely on an app although
it offers several benefits. At times you will
need a one on one consultation with your
nutritionist because an app misses on giving
you a personal touch and if you have health
complications it is always better to get it
checked or take advice from your doctor
before following anything that you see on the
web.

Nevertheless, you should install the noom
diet if you are serious about losing weight the
healthy way unless you do not have major
hassles with your health.
