India's Beauty Secrets revealed

You are refreshing and vital as air, graceful and tender as sparkling water, lustrous and consuming as flames of fire, generous and enveloping as space and stable and deep as earth… You elemental woman are perfect beauty itself.”- Ancient essay on ‘Panchakanya’ or the five elemental of Indian women.


After a lot of research and a lot reading I have finally narrowed down my list of beauty secrets that originate from India. We see cosmetic companies trying to sell us all these different types of products that will take away blemishes, and reduce dark circles under the eyes, but what we don’t realize is that a lot of what we see on television commercials don’t really work for every type of women or skin tone. I use to be one of those girls who buys everything I see on television or something that a celebrity endorsed because if they endorsed it surely they believed that it works, but what most of us forget is that those celebrities and television commercials the cosmetic companies spent millions to produce and have their faces on the product. Have you ever wondered if these celebrities really wore what they were promoting or is it just to get ahead in life.


I remember going through every type of cosmetic product to get rid of marks, dark circles under my eyes and even pimples when I got that few. My mom and brother would always tell me to try the natural stuff, the things that doesn't cost thousands a month to keep your skin fresh and looking radiant.
The one thing that is common to the whole of India is that the beauty culture, which is essentially a female world, is based on age-old secrets and the wisdom of past experience.


Dark circlesWhich many just say is because of a lack of sleep but is also a result of illness, anaemia, excessive tiredness and heavy periods.
TIP: Slices of potato for 15-20 minutes every other day will help lift the skin and fade dark circles gradually. If your eye lids appear dry smear some almond or olive oil on the lids before going to sleep.





FaceThe best and natural skin toner is water, yes you hear it all the time drink lots of water but in this case I am not going to encourage you to drink water I am going to tell you to get the water as ice cold as you can and cleanse the face with it. Women in the Himalayan Mountains in the northernmost part of India cleanse their faces with water from the mountain streams that are fed by snowy glaciers throughout the year. It keeps your face glowing with health and vigor. 




There a lot of products for make up removal but what remains the safest and the healthiest choice is baby oil to remove any make-up. 
Of course there are more tricks and traits that come from India but I cant give you all my research at once. Slowly by surely I will reveal the secrets of research and some of the tips that I believe most women will jump at using. Remember that not everything has to be expensive or filled with chemicals to make you beautiful. Organic is the new best thing to happen to all of us.

Till next time…
