There is a fasting detox which tackles root cause of skin blemishes. Purifying the blood is the key to skin glow. During summer, nature itself is trying to detoxify our skin, by driving out toxins through sweat.
Glow on the skin is not dependent on the color of the skin, but insulin sensitivity of the skin. IF there is adequate flow of nutrients to the skin cells and they are able to use them, glow is the only possible result.
Skin needs blood rich in oxygen, adequate sugar and insulin. If insulin usage capability is reduced, drak patches result. To improve nutrients flow, use local massage by your own hands, using coconut oil, awagandha oil, almon oil etc. Use a paste made from soaking fenugreek seeds in little water, make paste and apply for 30 minutes in the early morning. wash with warm water. You can add following to the paste also: yogurt, little lemon juice, honey, sandal powder, turmeric and orange peel powder.
Once insulin sensitivity is achieved, rose water can be added for cooling the blood. Rose water is available as a synthetic water and you can make it by soaking rose petals in water/milk for 3 hours. Author has seen wonderful results when shatawari ghrutam is applied to cheeks and face, just half a tsp, if you have dryness on skin. It is good remedy for some constitutions, if there is acne too.
