“Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson (American Philosopher and Poet, 1803-1882)
Flawless skin is every woman’s deeply cherished desire. Some own a porcelain smooth skin, while others feel uneven, patchy and flaky skin. For people who can afford expensive beauty treatments, microdermabrasion, chemical peels and laser therapy comes to their rescue. While makeup is the best option for budgeted pockets. Then again, makeup can only hide the blemishes, and perhaps worsen your skin. If you are struggling with bad skin, then this article will be a perfect respite for you. We have laboriously researched and collected solutions, which can be deployed in the comfort of your own home, with the least possible expense for that perfect flawless glow.
Skin being the largest organ in the body, benefits from the same nutrition we eat for a healthy heart. Foods rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals offer a healthy skin, which is supple, soft and glowing. Following religiously a skin regime - Cleansing, Toning/Exfoliating and Moisturizing is an excellent way to keep wrinkles, acnes, pimples and others skin infections at bay. Drinking ‘eight’ glasses of water everyday keeps your skin hydrated and moisturized naturally.
Our kitchen is a huge source for natural skin remedies enabling us to look younger, without the glitch of chemical effects that may come from using creams, lotions, face masks and other man-made products. Cucumber juice, tomato juice, turmeric, cold milk, lemon juice, orange, banana, apple and rose water are some of the well known natural products used in skin care.
For a glowing complexion, mix ½ teaspoon turmeric powder with milk cream, keep it overnight, and apply on the face in the morning.
Mixing lime and cucumber juice in equal portions and applying on the face, washing after 20 minutes, will result in a soft and supple skin.
Mixing ½ teaspoon sugar with tomato juice and rubbing on the face in circular motion enables a clear and smooth skin texture.
Using a banana or an orange as a face mask helps tightens skin pores and reduces wrinkles.
Keep your hands off from your face. Often our hands carry dirt and bacteria that gets transmitted to our skin easily, accruing clogged pores, acne and sudden breakouts. Cleanse your skin with a cleansing lotion every night, and wake up to wonderful looking skin.
Flawless skin and exercise are hands in glove! From fighting against acne to regressing the aging process, exercise is an excellent way to a fabulous skin. A brisk walk, a swim, a yoga session or playing your favorite sport for 30 minutes every day will boost your skin health.
Stress and anxiety reflects on your skin making it appear dull and drab. Rejuvenate your mundane existence by treating your body, mind and soul to a day of leisure and recreation. Visit a SPA or read your favourite book. Engage yourself in an activity that puts a smile in your heart and a glow on your face.
Remember, your skin is a reflection of what you put on it.
