There are many practices across the globe linked with traditions, culture, history and beliefs. Indian’s are known fro their rich tradition and culture and their alternative medicine systems. Quite often, even those who don’t really know why they do something can give good natural solutions to daily problems – it is rooted in their culture and knowledge is transferred through generations. Even their food is said to be prepared following these principles and many recipes are known for their healing properties. It is no wonder that Science often backs the practices – many such remedies or practices were put to test and proven they’re good. We’ve already seen a few ways Indians keep their skin young; here are more tips from India ☺

Potato Pack

A humble potato has so many nutrients and does loads for your skin. Juice a potato – you can do this by sieving it and squeezing it using cheesecloth to get the juice. Apply the juice on your face – dab a cotton ball to apply the juice. Let it sit for 15 minutes before washing off. Do this at least twice a week for best results.

Rich in Vitamin C, it can promote regeneration of cells and collagen. It improves skin’s elasticity and keeps your skin supple and young.

Sandalwood Oil Pack

You don’t necessarily need a lot of ingredients for preparing a pack or mask. You can whip up a real effective mask with oils too! This is one such mask without any mess or fuss 😉 Add a spoon of Sweet Almond Oil and 2 drops each of Rosewood Oil, Sandalwood Oil and Turmeric Oil. Massage this to your face and neck for a couple of minutes. Leave it overnight, though if you don’t have time, at least an hour is good. Wash off and repeat this every night after cleansing your skin. This combination not only moisturizes your skin, but also regenerates and repairs your skin at night and keeps ageing skin signs at bay.

Avocado Pack

Often called butter fruit, it is known for its smooth texture and rich omega fatty acid content. Mash and Avocado and apply it on your face. Yes, just that and rinse off after 10 – 15 minutes. Trust me your skin will thank you for it! You can also chill the Avocado before mashing 😉 Apply this pack once a week to keep ageing skin signs at bay with this anti-oxidant and Vitamin C rich fruit.
