I [actually my wife :)] was reading an article on IDiva.com [indiatimes.com] by the title "Prolong your youth". They people gave five tips for skin care... and I found that if we stick to our basics... we are already following 4 out of 5... and wait, 5th was for applying some cream and all... so for that I can always show you umpteen number of articles on internet insisting NOT to use such creams... meaning??? just follow the sunnah and prolong your youth :)
here's an insight for all the tips given:
Tip #1: Dont forget to wash your face when you go to bed.
My Take: Anybody??? right.... always do Wuzu before you go to bed... as simple as that.
Tip#2: About 85% damage is caused by direct exposure to Sun.
My Take: Wear hijaab / burqa... what else can protect you better from Sun [and also from Son-of-Bit&%#]
Tip#3: Wash your face at least twice a day
My Take: Anybody offering namaz would be washing it more-or-less five times a day
Tip#4: Eat well, follow a good workout regime.
My Take: Again, offering namaz allows us doing decent workout, knowingly or unknowingly... but mind you... we don't offer namaz for exersice, thats just a side-effect.
Tip#5: Use anti-aging creams... and blah blah blah
My Take: Ya Allah... this far more dangerous than what I thought... read on:
