How to get rid of dead cells from your skin?


Dead cells....ohh yes they make the skin look dead no doubt about it.Dead cells are actually the cells that have been replaced my new ones but are still lying there on your skin....difficult to remove with your face wash ofcourse.....making skin look dull and lustreless!!

No problem....here is the solution.Take a small piece of ripe Papaya(make sure u remove the outer peel and the seeds)now apply the pulp on your face and neck.Leave it on your face for about 15 minutes and then wash off with water.Papaya has got a natural protein dissolving enzyme papain that will digest or loosen up the dead cells from your face.

Do leave a comment about how you felt about your skin on trying this small and simple remedy.(do not use it if you have active pimples or any other inflammatory lesions on your face)

Mud Mask magic for oily skin



Mud mask is an effective way to get rid of excess oil from your skin.Mud has a unique property to absorb any liquid that comes in its contact.This is the main principle of these masks.

Most popular are multani mitti or chandan masks.Take the powder and make it into a fine paste.Apply it over your skin preventing the eye and mouth areas.Now let it dry.Once dried you will feel a tightening effect on your skin.Now notice the dried mask in the mirror.You will see some rounded spots that look like wet mud on the nose area and around it.It is actually the oil from your skin that has come out with capillary action and is absorbed in the mud mask.

Wash off with water.You will notice that the pores of your face have become a bit smaller.With repeated use it will loosen out the dirt in the pores.Use the mask once or twice a week.

Antioxidants for beautiful skin


Antioxidant.....the word sounds quite familiar.......but you often wonder what it is!Well need not ponder any more.I will tell you :) Antioxidants are natural substances that are known to destroy the toxic substances in the body that are produced with normal metabolism and are harmful for the body.To put it in simple words they cleanse the system of unwanted damaging substances.

Three well known antioxidants are Vitamin A ,Vitamin C and Vitamin E.Out of these Vitamin C can be taken without any monitoring of fear of side effects because it is water soluble and if taken in excess gets excreted in urine without causing any harm.

Vitamin C is one of the vital ingredient of collagen that maintains the elasticity of the skin
so one can think of its obvious benefits.Its best natural sources are Lemon, Amla and orange (citrus fruits).It helps in preventing early wrinkling of the skin and maintain its elasticity.

Is my daily routine affecting my skin?


AS we get along with the everyday routine we often forget about some minor things that can make a big difference to our appearance.I remember how my friends used to give me a jaw dropping look when i used to get ready for the dinner after a tiring day's work.

There are some very simple things one can do to maintain the natural baby soft texture of the skin:
1.Drink plenty of water.When your skin is well hydrated it looks more fresh and healthy.
2.Help your skin breathe.Make sure you clean your skin with an oil free cleanser regularly so that the pores are not clogged.
3.This is one of my personal favourite tips.I just love the well marked out jawline.This comes with exercise and yoga.Fat and fl abs often do much harm to how the outline of ounce's face looks.
4.Eat fresh.Nature has given us amazing fruits and vegetables.Let the world say its a salad you are eating, as long as i look good...it does not matter to me what they say
