We all agree that Indian kitchens are unique. Not only because of the wide variety of ingredients but if you go back to the permutation combination classes the sheer number of dishes that you can whip out because of these ingredients are astounding. But the beauty of the Indian kitchen is not limited to just satisfying your taste buds. They are also great for your daily skin care requirements.
Coming to think of it our grandmothers never had the luxury of a parlour, yet their skin glowed (part of it has to be attributed to the physical exercise they got doing home chores alone). But as a kid I have sneaked on my Granny applying whatever she was cooking with on her face (much to the amazement of my grandfather of course).
Today we are bombarded with hundreds of products that promise miracles. So here I am rephrasing the questions Olay has been asking lately, “Do we need to smear chemicals on our face for a healthy and glowing skin?”
Not really. Explore the corners of your kitchen and you will see that:
1. A paste made with besan, milk and ground almonds is the best face scrub you could find
2. Chandan with a little bit of camphor will fix pimples more naturally
3. Rubbing tomato skin on your face makes it glow
4. Applying a paste of neem leaves cleans and disinfects your face
5. Massaging your skin with olive oil will keep it supple
6. Massaging your knuckles with coconut oil will keep them from drying and hardening to a brown patch
In addition to all of the above, maintain a good diet and a do a little exercise everyday, even simple walking helps!
