The skin being the largest organ of the body requires a great deal of care and nourishment in order to look and stay in good health. It is subjected to various atrocities such as smoke, pollution, sun and weather conditions on a daily basis that make it prone to damage and infection thereby, making it look dull and unattractive.
In addition to this, various body changes, hormonal fluctuations, pregnancy and lactation, stress, mental tension, illness and strain can rob your skin of its beauty and vitality. Thus, it is important for you to follow a daily skin care and nourishment program in order to prevent your skin from getting damaged.
The importance of skin nourishment:
Skin nourishment is one of the most important aspects of any skin care regime. It helps keep your skin supple and delays the development of fine lines and wrinkles and keeps your skin looking vibrant and healthy.
Ask any woman and she will jump at the thought of being able to possess a flawless and radiant complexion. And the best way by means of which you can achieve it is by providing adequate nourishment to your skin.
Tips for nourishing your skin:
Apart from the daily cleansing, toning and moisturizing routine, you also need to nourish your skin. The skin is renewing itself after every few days which makes it essential for you to exfoliate it regularly so that you can get rid of all the dead skin cells that make your skin look dull and unhealthy. You can make use of a good exfoliating scrub for this purpose.
Face masks are the best skin nourishing treatments that have been used since the time of ancient civilizations all across the globe. The Egyptian Queen Cleopatra was known to use lavender oil face masks to enhance her beauty. You too can select from a wide range of face masks for deep nourishment that are available in the market depending on your skin type.
A gram flour mask is one of the best nourishing treatments for normal skin. Take 1 tbsp gram flour and add 1 tsp lime juice along with a pinch of turmeric powder and uncooked milk to it. Apply all over your face, neck, hands and feet for about 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water.
Application of raw egg white all over the face with 1 tsp honey added to it tends to give an instant glow to your face. This is suitable for all skin types. Remove after 10 minutes with cotton dipped in warm water.
Clay masks work best for oily skin types. You can simply add 1 tbsp rose water to 1 tsp clay along with some mint and apply all over your face and neck. Rinse with cold water. You can add a few drops of olive oil to this face mask if you have dry skin.
