I
have never been skeptical about the healing capabilities of Ayurveda but I feel
science should have given more importance to this field and specially the
Indian community. However things have changed and a lot of more research is
being conducted in this field. I reckon that at present Ayurveda may not be the
best solution for some of the rare diseases; it does have some good hold over general
health problems. In particular, skin related solutions provided by Ayurveda are
worth mentioning. For example VICCO Turmeric Cream is one such cure to dull and
oily skins. To know more about this product, you can visit this page: http://www.viccolabs.com/product-turmeric-cream-with-foam-base.php. Of course solutions like these are always there in our life, but do
you know that if you take conscious effort towards your skin you can avoid all
type of typical skin issues like pimples, blackheads etc. From my personal
experience, I can share some of the things that help in keeping skin healthy
and radiant:
1.
Drink a lot of water: I am sure you must have observed that many of the skin problems
occur when your stomach is not healthy or you have had something which is
giving trouble to your digestive system. These small problems often manifest in
facial aberrations. Drinking a lot of water ensures that you minimize such
digestive issues. Of course, there is no comparison to eating only healthy and
fresh food. Fruits like watermelon help a lot in maintaining good amount of
fluid in our body which one should never avoid.
2.
Splash water every 3-4 hours: In this fast paced life, our face has to go
through a lot of dirt. The dirt often sticks to the skin and if not cleaned regularly
only results in long term skin issues. The idea is to splash water whenever and
wherever there is opportunity to do so. To make it easy one can think of doing
the same after every meal when one goes to the washroom for cleaning the hands.
3.
Avoid soaps: We all have studied during our science classes how soaps are
prepared using soft alkali etc. It isn’t best idea to apply soap on your face.
If there are soaps with moisturizers, it may be safer to apply. But prolonged
exposure to these harmful materials only makes your skin rough. I’d recommend avoiding
soaps as much as one can.
4. Apply Sunscreen lotion before going out: Getting tanned might be a good thing for the westerners who
lack right amount of melanin under their skin. But hey we don’t need to be
further tanned. Fortunately our melanin content is good enough that not only
prevent us from severe skin diseases like skin cancer but also from skin spots.
Ever wondered why those rich kids have always better skin than a normal middle
class child? If you spend all your time inside AC cabins the exposure to sun is
bound to be minimal. Of course a normal person doesn’t have that luxury. So it’s
always a good idea to apply sunscreen lotion before going under the sun.
