Moms live under a lot of pressure. From dawn to dusk, from when your baby is an infant to even after he/she is married, there are responsibilities and anxieties you have to battle! Amidst all this, your skin is among the worst affected. The modern woman is facing the brunt of early ageing signs on her skin, much earlier than her contemporaries. This means, many of us struggle with fine lines, pigmentation, wrinkles and spots, whilst only in late 30s or 40s.
We have brought you the top homemade tips for anti aging – these are proven to show results in only a few uses, and need just a handful of ingredients!
1. Apple, Chia Seeds & Honey – Deep Cleanse
These three items are well-accepted super foods for the body. But what many of us don’t realize is that they are also super for the skin! Chia seeds are antioxidant-loaded that repair the damage on your skin from age, pollution and time. Apples (especially green apples) are rich in flavonoids that brighten and soothe your skin. The honey acts as a deep cleanser that enhances the properties of the scrub as a whole.
MIX
- Green apple
- 2 Tbsp Chia Seeds
- 2 Tbsp Honey
Apply this scrub to your skin using a slow, circular motion, and let it stay for a few minutes before rinsing it off with lukewarm water.
2. Almond Oil & Coconut Oil – Youthful Charm
Oh, how we moms vouch for baby massage and good old Indian oils! But these oils are not beneficial just for your baby’s skin; they also have excellent anti-aging advantages! These oils are very penetrating and infuse your skin with antioxidants and fatty acids. These ingredients help restore your skin to its youthful charm, slowly repairing visible signs of damage.
MIX
- Almond oil
- Coconut oil
Apply this combination all over your body every day (or when you manage to find some time to pamper yourself – this is important!) You can also add a dash of avocado oil to the mixture for added benefits to your skin.
3. Egg Whites – Damage Repair
This is perhaps the simplest homemade anti-aging skin care tip you can follow – just apply egg whites on your face! Egg whites are rich source of proteins, potassium, magnesium and riboflavin. These ingredients boost tissue repair, while also hydrating your skin and correcting the damage caused by free radicals. Regular usage will definitely help make your skin moisturised and youthful.
