Not all face creams are created equal.
Today, many industrial products (particularly those containing fragrances, dyes and petroleum jelly) because its too thick and the structure is not able to penetrate into the skin tissue to the desired depth, and therefore, they are useless and can’t cope fully with the tasks of nutrition and hydration.
Do not soak the remnants of the cream or lotion left on the skin surface film: in the end, the skin does not breathe.
But the essential oil of this film do not leave. Therefore, the Ayurvedic doctors recommend to feed the skin with oils that naturally have a moisturizing, antibacterial properties and is rich in nutrients. They penetrate deep into the skin and rejuvenate the cells of the deeper layers.
Let’s start with the morning. In the morning it is useful to wipe the face with ice — massage, and moisturizing at the same time. Ice can cook: freeze the broth of chamomile, Linden, calendula, and coffee or green tea. However, if your skin is prone to flaking, from the ice treatments should be abandoned.
Then turn nourishing oils. Beauty need not just essential oil in its pure form, but nutrient oil is a mixture of base oil with essential.
– for all skin types ideal of ghee (clarified butter);
– for sensitive skin — apricot kernel oil;
– for aging skin — avocado oil;
– for dry and dehydrated — wheat germ oil or olive oil.
Moreover, the butter consumed significantly more economical cream — small enough droplets. If the skin is dry — apply the oil to damp skin if dry on dry.
Owners of Mature or problem skin the blend of base and essential oils, you can add liposomes (Q10 — to find in pharmacies or online stores). Liposomes are a kind of transport which delivers to the skin the “building materials” and also hydrates the skin. The above Ghee (animal lipid) also copes with this task.
According to Ayurveda cow’s ghee in the oil, concentrated fiery energy of the sun.
Ghee contains fatty acids, 8% less saturated in comparison with other edible fats. Because of this Ghee are readily accepted and absorbed by our body — it is recommended to cook (by the way, it was very tasty). Ghee contains antioxidants (help to prevent the oxidation of lipids, causing atherosclerosis and DNA damage in cells), vitamin E, and is the only edible oil that contains vitamin A.
After the oil treatments for the face and body in the bath the skin becomes elastic and smooth, and all the small wounds and cracks heal on the second day, leaving peeling.
Another “Golden” product — honey. It is unique in that it easily penetrates into the minute pores of the skin, nourishes it and regulates water balance, so that the face remains fresh, and the wrinkles are not in a hurry to remind myself.
