Beauty Formula and how it works !
A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Every woman is beautiful in her own special way. One is never too old to be beautiful. All we need is awareness, self-discipline, hard work and a bit of pampering. A planned routine care program considering our skin type is essential. All of us are born with a perfect skin. With the passage of years only some of us can maintain flawless complexion..

Our life span had increased due to advances in medical science, but we are open to more environmental pollution, harsh chemicals and ultra violet rays. These elements damage our skin and hair, and practice of regular care and maintenance routines assumes more significance, so that we maintain a lovely skin.

SKIN is the largest and most vulnerable organ in our body. Sun and anything under the sun can adversely affect our skin. It is composed of three layers EPIDERMIS, DERMIS and HYPODERMIS. Epidermis acts as a protective barrier and helps to seal in the body's moisture. It is composed of layers of dead cells, which keep moving and exfoliate. Pigment cells responsible for color of our skin and protection against UV rays are present in Epidermis. Dermis is composed of connective tissue fibers. It provides support and elasticity to skin. There are oil glands, sweat glands, and blood vessels in the dermis. It can hold water and is responsible for aging of our skin. Hypodermis is composed of fat cells and affect the appearance of our skin. Some important factors that affect the health of the skin are balanced nutritious diet rich in fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables, plenty of water, fresh air and exercise. Avoid smoking and excess of alcohol. Good sleep protection against sun and happy attitude help in glowing complexion.

It is very important to know what is the type of skin you possess for proper care. There are basically four types of skin: DRY SKIN, OILY SKIN, COMBINATION SKIN and NORMAL SKIN. You can find out the type of your skin by doing a tissue paper test.
DRY SKIN is under nourished rough and looks dull. Texture of the skin is fine, but it feels dry. Dry skin ages early. It is important to nourish dry skin both externally and internally. Diet should be high in protein, fresh fruits, dry fruits and vegetables. Cleansing, toning and moisturizing is regular routine care for all skin types. Dry skin requires moisture all the time. Moisture filled natural products like cactus, avocado oil almond oil and honey are good for dry skin. Use fresh cream / milk for cleaning and massage with honey and fresh cream, olive oil and almond oil. Use rose water for toning and a mask of honey, mixed with egg and breadcrumbs as a pack. Rich moisturizer should be applied through out the day.

OILY SKIN is the most problematic skin if not cared and cleansed properly. OILY skin is common in all ages, but more in teenagers. It ages slowly but can result into black heads, white heads, acne and scarring if neglected. Cleansing regularly is most important for oily skin. Mint cloves, camphor, tomatoes, fuller's earth (multani mitti), rose water, cucumber and iced water are helpful in improving oily skin. Oily skin should be cleansed thoroughly. You may wipe it with camphor based lotion in rose water. Pores should be absolutely unclogged. Make a scrub at home with two tablespoons of orange peel / lemon peel powder, fuller's earth and rose water. Oil free moisturizer should be used. Toning with cucumber juice is excellent. Avoid oily massage and steaming for obvious reasons. Cut out all oily, spicy, starchy foods from your diet. Drink plenty of water, eat salads, fruits, particularly citrus fruits. Oily skin problems should be treated clinically.
In COMBINATION SKIN usually you find the "T" zone is oily and rest of the face may be normal or dry. It has to be treated like two different skin types.

SENSITIVE SKIN is most delicate of all skin types. It may be dry or oily. It reacts adversely to detergents and soaps, extreme climates and sometimes even natural ingredients. It gets irritated easily and prone to redness and broken veins. It manifests allergic reactions easily and should be handled with care. The golden rule is - NEVER EXPERIMENT WITH YOUR SKIN.

NORMAL SKIN is the ideal skin. It is slightly moist and looks healthy. It does not suffer from pimples, black heads and blemishes. If you are fortunate to have a normal skin, make sure you take good care of it. Have regular massage and use a moisturizer regularly. A few drops of lemon added to the white of an egg with honey, applied on the face for 15 minutes acts as an excellent tonic and pack.
In general before going to bed, remove all make up using a cleansing milk. Recognize your skin type, learn to care for it. Pamper it once a while - after all it is the only one you will have. Be kind to your skin and it shall reflect back at you from the mirror with a smile.
