Tips for fair and soft complexion

Tips for fair and soft complexion 

A healthy constitution and clean system naturally leads to a clean, glowing complexion. The first thing to do to improve the quality of your skin is to drink plenty of water to cleanse the system naturally of all the toxins accumulating inside it and to have a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, adequate exercise and sufficient rest. A healthy, well rested body reflects itself in soft, glowing skin.


While the color of the skin is largely decided by genetic, it is possible to lighten the skin slightly by offsetting the tanning process caused due to exposure to the sun's rays.  

For a natural bleaching, you can rub a slice of lemon, potato or even tomato on your face before washing it with cold water. You can also prepare of a face-pack with 1 tsp of lime juice, ½ tsp of honey and a few drops of milk and apply this on your face for 15-20 minutes or until dry. If your skin is oily, then replace the honey and milk with a paste of gram flour. A face pack prepared with 1 egg yolk, 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp yoghrt helps to tighten the pores and leaves the skin looking fresh and glowing. Another excellent face mask can be prepared using natural yoghurt, honey and some natural rose water (or fresh rose petals with a few tsps of water) to cleanse and rejuvenate the skin. The timeless face masks prepared with turmeric powder and fullers earth (multani mitti) also work very well in improving the complexion of the skin.
