The wind, dry heat, rain and a constant barrage of makeup can have you feeling like you aren't always putting your most beautiful face forward. Here I've compiled a list of 7 natural tips for softer, smoother more beautiful skin.
1. Is the way you live affecting your skin?
Living an unbalanced life will tell on your skin and face. A bad diet for example, is a recipe for unhealthy skin. Poor weather conditions such as dry, cold and wind remove moisture and affect the circulation which leads to older looking skin. Alcohol, nicotine and a lack of sleep will also tell on your skin.
2. Eat Super Foods for Your Skin.
It was a tradition of Chinas imperial courts for an empress to hand recipes and preparations to her princesses. These were often expensive at the time but now you can buy peanuts, cherries, walnuts, black soya beans and jujube dates in most foot outlets.
If you have dry skin its best to eat oils such as flaxseed oil, olive oil, virgin coconut oil and sesame oil. Eat avocado and a handful of nuts each day.
3. Natural products equal natural beauty.
Many of today's natural cosmetic products have carcinogenic chemicals on the ingredients list. For example, mascara often contains formaldehyde. Asbestos can sometimes be found in eye blusher. These are all known carcinogens so it's safer to select natural makeups that are commonly found in health stores.
4. Detoxify Your Skin.
The Chinese believe our bodies expel impurities through the skin. Often though the impurities become trapped which results in a pimple or blemish. It's important to assist the body's natural cleansing process so it's better able to expel the toxins.
A common formula used to detoxify the skin is Internal Cleanse; it's readily available in most Chinese herb shops. It rich in plant extracts from plants such as the chrysanthemum, peppermint, dandelion, liquorice and white mulberry. These plants gall bladder function and a healthy liver.
5. Exfoliate like the Chinese courtesans.
The skin on our bodies renews itself by shedding the old cells and re-growing new ones in their place. Therefore, an effective way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles is to increase the process of shedding our skin. An alternative to expensive procedures such as dermabrasion is to renew our skin with all natural products. For many centuries Chinese Courtesans would exfoliate with natural products such as kelp, pearl powder, sea weed, dried plum, cane sugar and persimmon leaf. These are readily available at health stores.
6. Yogurt improves the texture of your skin.
One of yogurts many ingredients is lactic acid, this alpha hydroxyl from of acid has amazing benefits for our skin. It peels off the dead layer of skin and leaves the surface feeling smooth. Regular usage will lighten pimples and even the patchy tone of your skin. For best results apply plain organic yoghurt evenly over your face like a regular cream. After 5 minutes wash it away and apply a moisturizer.
May your life be a long, strong and happy one!
