I can totally understand the pains of every girl who walks out of the house every morning to work or school. Whenever I head out of my house for office I try to always cover my face with a scarf. But guys, honestly saying it does not help to the extent in which we want it to.

Make it a point to wash your face with a good face wash as soon as you step into your house. Do it even before you have a glass water, this way it will help you get rid of all the dirt that has been accumulated on your facial skin.
