Your skin is one of
The miracles of nature.
If you want your skin look
attractive and healthy; there are
several rules you must follow. The
most important is cleansing with
natural and reviving substances.
Beauty is not just a pretty face, fair complexion, professionally
painted and coloured, decked with jewels and fashionably cute and
worked drapes. It is a balance of every thing. It is the way one
carries all this beauty. It comes from within. It is evident from
sparking and twinkling eyes. It is a combination of translucent
skin, a knowing smile, up right neck, healthy hair, strong nails,
and a correct posture. Sometimes we neglect the inner side and we
tend to depend only on outer help from beauty parlours and
designers which means 50% success. For rest of the 50% we give you
herbal tips to natural beauty, healthy hair and skin, shining eyes
and face, beautiful hands and feet.
Today we are going to start from your skin. Your skin is one of
the miracles of nature.
If you want your skin to look attractive and healthy; there are
several rules you must follow. The most important is cleansing
with natural and reviving substances.
Since constant washing removes most of the natural oils and
moisture and even the protective acid covering. You must
consciously replace these oils, moisture and acids.
Other factors are diet, sleep, exercise and elimination. Various
factors which influence your looks are tension, overwork, polluted
air and overheated environment.
Let’s try and find nutritional aids, cleansing methods, herbal and
food solutions to skin problems.
DIET: Your diet should be high in proteins, which can be found
in Lean meat, fish, poultry as well as in nuts, beans, milk
and eggs. Raw vegetables and fruit of all kinds are essential.
Several
glasses of water each day are essential to flush the system clear
of toxins.
SLEEP: You should get enough sleep each night to wake up feeling
completely rested. |

EXERCISE: Set up a routine of body and facial exercises, you need
such movements to increase circulation and provide your system
with additional oxygen.
Few Facial Exercises:
- Open your eyes wide and stare to the count of six.
- Contract your nose as if you are sneezing and flair out the
nostrils.
- Lift the side of your mouth to the right as if you were
sneering.
- Lift the side of your mouth to the left in the same way.
- Open the mouth by keeping the upper lip taut and lower lip down.
- Purse your lips together as if to whistle.
- Open your mouth as if you were going to shout.
- Slowly blow up your cheeks and entire upper and lower mouth area
and fill with air. Retain air for a count of 15 and expel with a
quick ‘plop’ sound. This gentle exercise will not only help to
avoid laugh line wrinkles but if done several times a day, might
gradually soften existing lines.
- With your fist, iron your forehead slowly from the middle in and
upward sweep to the temples.
- With the backs of your outstretched fingers massage your chin
from the centre towards the ear in a medium strong patting motion. |
ELIMINATION: Retained toxins can show in poor colour, circles
under the eyes, or skin blemishes. A couple of figs or prunes a
day can help in daily elimination for chronic constipation. Early
morning hot drinks of lemon juice and water, or a table-spoon of
cider vinegar and a table-spoon of honey stirred into a cup of hot
or cool water works wonders.
In our next issue we’ll talk about cleansing, moisturizing,
reviving and revitalizing methods.
