Exfoliation

It is necessary to exfoliate our skin once a week and excess will irritate and damage the skin. Exfoliation excites your skin to produce more collagen. Collagen is a binding tissue which firms up your skin. Researchers prove that vitamin C is an important source of antioxidant and it is the main factor in anti-ageing and anti-wrinkles. It also offers a limited protection from sun’s UV rays. Lines and wrinkles respond better to a scrub of oatmeal, sugar, corn meal, fresh citruses and honey.

Try out the following tips:

• Take ½ cup of buttermilk and ¼ cup corn meal. Mix both of them and apply on face and neck. Then wash it off.
• Mix lime juice and sugar and apply it on face and neck. The coarseness of the ingredients will wash away the dead cells when you wash it off.
• Mix 1 tablespoon buttermilk and ¾ tablespoon sugar. Keep the mixture as such for 10 minutes. Then apply on face for 12 minutes. Then wash it off with lukewarm water. The sugar grains will remove the dead cells.
• Make a paste of sugar, salt and lime juice. Apply it on the skin and leave it for half an hour. Then rinse it off.
• Take 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of milk and 2 teaspoons of semolina(Suji). Mix all the ingredients and apply it on face, neck, hands and feet. Now wash all parts with warm water and dry them. This will make the skin soft.
• A fruit, pineapple is rich in vitamins and encourage healthy skin, nails, eyes and hair. Apply its juice on face for around 10 minutes and then wash with cold water. It should be avoided if it causes irritation to the skin.
