"Let Food be your first medicine and kitchen be your first remedy"
A clear skin is the dream
of every woman. Sometimes, when I am walking on the streets and I see a clear
glowing skin, I feel so delighted and envied too. I wish I were that woman with
that flawless skin. I have a combination skin; dry and oily in patches. Like
every other woman clear and flawless skin is one of my biggest dreams.
I am not a very big fan of
all the glam up cosmetics. It’s like pouring chemicals on your skin to make it
look better, but in the long run these chemicals are going to suck all the life
from your skin. The natural techniques like Ayurveda, Yoga and Meditation on
the other hand keep our skin so much healthier and full of life. Ayurveda is
safe on the skin and addresses the skin problems in a holistic manner. The
herbal extracts and fruit extracts along with the intake of water in adequate
amounts, exercise and yoga, a balanced and nutritious diet, all these things
practiced on a regular basis can work wonders on the skin. India has a rich
heritage and Ayurveda is one of the biggest gifts India has given to the world.
Ayurveda has remedies for all kind of skin problems. Ayurveda is a perfect and
a completely natural mantra for ageless, glowing and radiant skin with no
pimples and inflammations.
I am sharing a few tips for
a clear and healthy skin free of pimples.
Water: Drinking a lot of
water keeps the skin hydrated. It helps in detoxification of the entire
internal system of the body. It helps in restoring moisture and prevents the
skin from being dry.
Diet: A balanced and
healthy diet which includes a lot of fruits and green vegetables is essential
for overall health and health of the skin also. In Ayurveda, a vegetarian diet
is generally recommended. The consumption of processed foods, oily and junk food
should be avoided. Green tea and fruits like pomegranate and apple contain
anti-oxidants which help in preventing the premature aging of the skin. Milk is
a rich source of riboflavin which helps in keeping the skin glowing and
healthy. Milk also contains Amino acids which help in keeping the skin
hydrated.
Yoga and exercises: Simple
deep breathing exercises help in releasing toxins of the body. Surya-Namaskar,
Fish-Pose and Pranayam are a few of the yoga techniques which can keep the skin
healthy. Meditation is another way of practicing yoga. It releases the toxins
and makes our consciousness more aware helping the skin to look more radiant
and glowing
