ANCIENT SECRETS FOR EXOTIC SKIN

EVER WONDER WHY SO MANY WOMEN FROM EXOTIC COUNTRIES, SUCH AS BRAZIL..

 or from China...

or from India...

...why their skin never seems to age or looks radiant all the time?

As you read on, you will discover some ancient secrets that women have been using throughout time - easy things that don't cost you a forture, either.

Indian women have always mixed together CHICKPEA FLOUR,

and TUMERIC

and ALMOND OIL to make their skin radiant on special days (like their wedding day). The chickpea flour absorbs oil from their skin, turmeric adds an anti-inflammatory and antiseptic property to the mix, and almond oil adds a healthy moisture. Their skin is instantly exfoliated, softened, and brightened.



·         1 cup chickpea flour

·         3 tablespoons of turmeric (powdered form)

·         Almond oil (enough to form a paste)

Make a paste of the ingredients. Apply to the face and body, and let sit for a few minutes - it will begin to dry. Then rub the mixture off with your hands, which enhances exfoliation. Would you believe that it also eliminates fine facial hair. Wash the rest of the mixture off - skin like a baby!

A VEGGIE A DAY...

Like OKRA

 Take a handful of fresh okra and boil until soft. Let cool and mash it up to a slimy consistency. Spread it over your face adn leave it for about 5 minutes. Rinse off. Totally refreshing adn smooooth...

Or RICE

 After you soak rice in water before cooking it, drain this milky-looking liquid into a bowl. Dip a washcloth into liquid and apply it to the skin that may have sun damage, age spots, or hyperpigmentation.

Some stellar properties of rice are high levels of  PABA, ferullic acid and allantoin, which are all high in antioxidants. Your skin will love you!

Or GRAPES

Italian women not only traditionally stomp grapes with their feet, but they also squish some up and apply them to their faces. Every part of the grape, from the skin to the seeds, are loaded with linoleic acid and polyphenols - potent antioxidants with moisturizing benefits. Want to fight the battle of 'age' - this is it.  

I trust you will find this interesting and stimulation - for your skin, that is.
