Contrary to popular belief, prepping your skin for fall doesn’t have to be as tricky as you probably thought. However, there are a lot of tips and tricks you should stick to in order to accomplish that, so keep on reading to find out about the five most effective ones. Check them out and give your skin what it needs this fall! 

Exfoliate, but don’t go overboard with it

Did you know that a gentle facial scrub removes a layer of dead skin cells, uncovers the layer of rejuvenated skin, and therefore improves your overall appearance? This is exactly why you should use a scrub at least twice a week if you want your skin to look and feel healthy, smooth, and luminous. Just don’t overdo it, as a large number of scrubs actually contain retinoids and glycolic acid which may cause redness and irritation when you use them too often. However, if you don’t want to spend your money on expensive facial scrubs, you can always make them on your own. There are a lot of homemade scrub recipes you should take into consideration, as these will do the trick without breaking the bank!

Not everyone is a brilliant cook but even if you aren’t a whizz in the kitchen, you can still convince your friends that you’re a gourmet chef if you follow these top tips!

1.Preparing Raw Onions
If you’ve ever made a salad with raw onions and thought they tasted too pungent, no problem. Fill a bowl with cold water and soak them first before slicing and you’ll discover their odor and flavour isn’t so overwhelming.

2.Seriously Impressive Coffee
If your friends are just popping around for a coffee, impress them with a barista style coffee made with a sprinkling of cinnamon and just a tiny pinch of salt. Add before you brew your coffee grounds and you’ll find that your coffee not only isn’t bitter but is actually amazing. Also, if you invest in a milk frother, you’ll achieve the true coffee shop look when you serve a brew. You can find more details on this link about how to choose the right one for you.

3.Banish Bland Vegetables
If you hate the boring taste of boiled vegetables, try cooking with stock instead of plain water. You’ll be amazed by how much richness and flavor you’ll taste.

4.Forget Table Salt
Table salt is a useful addition, but kosher salt is even better. As it’s less processed it has larger crystals and is flakier than regular salt. This makes it a lot simpler to control the amount you aadd to your food.

5.Make Your Meat Tender
Tenderizing your meat can be a pain, but if you use the velveting method even the toughest steak will suddenly be silky and moist. Coat the slices of meat in egg whites and cornstarch then add a dash of rice wine to really bring out the flavor.
