Tumeric: A natural approach to clear glowing skin

2013-05-23T03:26:00.003-07:00

Turmeric is a bright yellow spice used in many Indian, Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern dishes, but what many people dont know is that it belongs to the ginger family, and can be found locally here in Nigeria. it is also caled (atale) and its juice or powder, can be combined with yogurt, milk or olive oil, to give you a brilliant face mask.
Indian women use it as a skin brightener and it's common practice for Indian brides (and, apparently, their grooms) to smear a turmeric paste made of the powder on their skin to brighten their complexions for their wedding.

Warning: Turmeric powder can stain fair skin. The same properties that make yellow and dark skin glow can make pale-skinned women look yellow. However, the stain does fade away after a few hours.

what you need:

•1 tablespoons flour (used to thicken the paste)

•1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder

•For oily skin: 1/4 cup plain yogurt & few drops of lemon juice

•For dry skin: 2 tablespoons olive oil, or coconut oil, maybe more

•A few drops of honey

Preparation:

Mix the flour and turmeric together.

If you have oily skin: Add lemon juice and stir. Slowly mix in the yogurt until a creamy paste is formed. Use more or less yogurt to your liking.

If you have dry skin: Add the oil slowly and stir until a paste is formed. Add more for more creaminess.

Apply mask to face and neck.

Leave the mask on for 30 minutes.

Using a warm, wet washcloth that you don't mind staining (turmeric will stain), rinse off the mask.

N:B i've started using this recipe and i am seeing positive results. I will also be trying out a lot more herbal skin therapies, so, stay tuned for more and of course pictures of how to's.

Cleansing
A good cleansing routine is essential for removing makeup and dirt, which can block your pores and can lead to an outbreak in spots. Cleansing should be done twice daily. Cleansing too frequently can strip the skin of its natural oils, which will make those with dry skin have even drier skin. It will also make those with oily skin have even oilier skin, as the glands will become more active to replace it.
Before starting to cleanse, you should wash your hands thoroughly to remove any dirt or grease that might have built up.
To remove eye makeup such as mascara and eye shadow, use cotton balls or pads to apply eye cleansing lotion. Making sure your eyes are closed, gently wipe across your eyes until all eye makeup is removed.
To remove makeup, generously apply cleansing cream to your nose, chin, cheeks, forehead and around the top of your neck. Massage the cream into the skin, particularly concentrating on the corners of the mouth, the creases near the nose, the chin (which is especially prone to blackheads), and around the neck. Once the cream has been massaged in thoroughly, take a moist cotton pad, and start removing the cream from your face. Work from the sides of your face inwards to avoid rubbing cream into your hair.

Toning Toning is the process of removing dead skin cells from your face, as well as removing any dirt, makeup or cleanser that may remain after cleansing. Toning will help keep your skin clear and firm by leave you with a layer of new healthy skin cells.
Using cotton pads, apply toner around your nose and chin, across your cheeks and across your forehead.

Moisturizing Exposed to the elements skin can lose its natural moisture, and you can be left with dry skin. This is also one of the main cause of wrinkles. As well as forming a barrier to the elements, moisturizing replenishes the skins natural moisture which help can prevent dry skin and the formation of wrinkles. Unless you have very dry skin, always use a light moisturizer.
Apply moisturizer lightly to your face using your finger tips. Start by rubbing the cream into your forehead, working outwards from the center. Gently apply the cream around the eyes, making sure you don’t get it to close to them. Massage the cream into your cheeks and around your jaw line, around your chin, mouth and nose, then around your throat and your neck. Don’t apply too much moisturizer, as this will just sit heavily, and prevent your skin from breathing. Also make sure all excess cream is rubbed in.

SKIN LEMON-AID!

Diminishes Scars

Lemon juice may aid in diminishing the appearance of scars and age spots. It may also reduce the appearance of scars left behind from acne lesions. For the treatment of scars, apply a small amount of lemon juice to the area of concern and wash with cool water. You can also leave the lemon juice on your skin overnight and rinse any residue off in the morning.

Heals Acne

The antibacterial properties of lemon juice make it a good natural treatment for acne, and when applied to your skin regularly, lemon juice may speed up the healing of acne lesions and prevent future breakouts. Lemon juice may be used to successfully remove blackheads. HealthGuidance recommends rubbing the juice of a fresh lemon over the blackheads at bedtime, and over time they will begin to disappear. This treatment should be followed by rinsing your skin with cool water every morning and using a moisturizer.

Exfoliates

If your skin is oily, lemon juice may be applied to your face to reduce the oiliness. The citric acid contained in lemon juice works as a mild skin peel by removing the outermost layer of your skin and reducing shine. The daily use of lemon juice on your face as a skin toner will gently remove dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion.

NOTE: moisturise the skin after the self lemon treatment so as to prevent burning especially if you are likely to get sun exposure!

It is important to have a healthy diet with exercise added for good measure. This is meaningful beauty because all the bases are covered for optimum health and beauty.

There are plenty of books on the market that will help you with incorporating proper nutrition into your lifestyle and make the best homemade beauty tips. Here are some brief suggestions;

1. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables and try to cut out as much junk food as you can. Start slow by limiting it to once every week, to once a month, etc until you no longer have a need for it.

2. Add a multi-vitamin. It is very important to get nutrients from food and taking a multi-vitamin should never a substitute for food.

3. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day.
