Since ages, women have always sought for some miracle potion to maintain a youthful appearance. Our ancient writings have ample suggestion and very practical tips but western influence has taken us by storm and we seek that magical solution in ‘packaged’ off the shelf bottles, hoping that some such lotion would transform us into ravishing beauties. Alas! That never is the case; often we land up with more problems than we’d bargained for. Instead of that proverbial flawless completion, we hide dull and dry patches with make-up.
Unpleasant appearance is acquired by wrong habits of living and eating, lack of exercise and a cheerful temperament. In fact it is well know that a smile is the best facial toning treatment for the skin. A cheerful, friendly, smiling person never seems to get old and the facial muscles too remain tight and strong.
Our skin is basically made up of dead cells. These dead cells are periodically thrown off and replaced by new ones. We all must have experienced that on certain days our skin looks better than normal.
So let’s start by understanding our skin in relation to our health. If we are getting sufficient physical and breathing exercises, plus fresh nutritive food, half of our problems are solved.

The skin is the first indicator of not only our beauty but health too! No amount of cosmetic and makeup will bring a glow to a dull lifeless skin.
