Both steaming (நீராவியில் வேகவைத்தல்) and boiling (கொதிக்க வைத்தல்) are common cooking techniques used to make vegetables easier to digest by breaking down tough fibers. However, they differ in how much nutrition they retain.
1. Steaming (நீராவியில் வேகவைத்தல்)
Steaming cooks food using steam without direct contact with water.
Advantages:
•	Retains more vitamins and minerals
•	Prevents nutrients from leaching into water

The goal isn’t to “stop sweat completely” (not realistic), but to reset your face quickly without piling on heavy products.
Here are fast, practical fixes you can actually use.
🧻 1. Blot first — don’t wipe
Before anything else:
•	Use blotting papers, tissue, or even clean cotton
•	Press gently on sweaty areas (T-zone, upper lip, forehead)
•	Avoid rubbing—it spreads oil and breaks makeup

Both air-drying and blow-drying have pros and cons—the healthiest choice depends on your hair type, scalp condition, and how you dry your hair.
💨 Blow-drying: Pros and Cons
Blow-drying uses heat and airflow to remove moisture quickly.
👍 Benefits
•	Faster and more convenient
•	Helps style hair (volume, straightening, curls)
•	Can reduce time hair stays wet (which matters for scalp health)
👎 Downsides
•	Heat can damage the hair cuticle
