In spite of long shoots , celebs manage to stay healthy, fit and glowing by following strict daily regimen from maintenance of their skincare routine to workouts to clean diet. 

No matter how busy you are , if you really care for your skin and health , you will always find the time.Guys we need to understand that cosmetics like foundations or concealers don’t beat the essential and organic goodness of nature. No doubt for few hours we can hide our pimple, dry or rough skin under makeup or pick clothes that can hide belly fat to look good but will these shortcuts take us a long way? The answer is big NO.  It’s human nature we look for short cuts and not the permanent solution to the problem.

Especially when it comes to our marriage we look for short cuts  and follow everything blindly from cosmetics to natural therapies and beauty products, from our celebrities routines to online guides to our beautician to get instant glow and charm.

The old saying , What come easy won’t last long and what lasts long won’t come easy”.
