We all want glowing,
blemish free radiant skin that is smooth and healthy. Due to the fast
paced lifestyle that we live we end up using products that have
harmful chemicals. As a result these products cause more harm than
good. The best solution is to use natural products that have no side
effects. Ayurveda comes to our aid in this regard. Talking of skin
care the first ingredient that comes to mind is Turmeric or 'Curcuma
longa ' .It is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial herb that is
perinatal and so available throughout the year. The best part is that
is easily available throughout the year. It is the most trustworthy
herb when it comes to matters of skin care. If you ask me then I
would only be too glad to hand out the time tested wisdom of skin
care passed on to me by my mother who in fact got it from her mother.
To this day she vouches by the almost magical properties of turmeric
or haldi. It is such a time tested method that mothers would advice
there daughters to have milk with haldi and kesar for a good glowing
skin. Even expectant mothers are advised to drink this drink so
that their off springs are gora-chitta (read fair and good looking)
Turmeric also finds
its place in almost all the home made cosmetics so apply after mixing
with water,milk or add flour to make a batna or a natural hair remover for
the face and a sure shot method to make the face look beautiful in a
short duration of 30 minutes to 1 hour
For pimples there
are many simple tips that is of adding cinnamon powder into honey and
mix it into a paste. It is advised not to add water to this paste.
Then apply this mix on to each pimple and leave it over night. Next
morning wash face with slightly warm water . This treatment is to be
repeated every day.
Use a clean cotton
swab to apply a few drops of lemon juice extracted from freshly cut
lemon on to the pimples.Do this at night before going to sleep and
only next day wash the face clean with water.
Applying the pulp
and juice of a freshly cut tomato onto the pimples and leave it to
dry . This is best done at night. Next morning wash the face clean
with water . This treatment is to be done once a week.
Mixing a pinch of
turmeric powder and coconut oil makes it into a paste and than
applying it on to the pimples directly and leaving them overnight
helps one get rid of the pimples.
Talking of remedies
or skin care tips there are so many that revolve around turmeric and
instead of tweaking and adding various ingredients I would suggest
the "VICCO
Turmeric Cream". This is a cream with foam base. It is an
Ayurvedic formulation and does not have dangerous chemicals to harm
the skin. It is a complete face care regime that is prepares and
protects the skin against oilyness, blackheads and pimples.It is easy to apply due to the fact that it is a foam based cream. Presence of turmeric gives it the power of warding off any bacteria and microbes that may be present on the skin. It can also be use to treat minor cuts and wounds, infection,allergies and rashes.
