Vegetable
and spices are necessary in our kitchen.
They play a vital part in our diet and nutrition.
Now, you can even make your own beauty regimen
out of those veggies and spices in your kitchen.
I
listed some commonly known veggies and spices that can
help in the maintenance of healthy and beautiful skin.
Almond-
almond oil is good for treating dry skin and removing
scars of old pimples and zits. Pour hot water on the almonds and allow them to soak until the
skin comes off. Dry them and grind them into a powder.
Keep this in a jar. Daily add a little milk to some of
the powder and use the paste to cleanse the face by
rubbing the skin gently with it. Almond powder can also
be added to face packs.
Cabbage-
is rich in vitamin and minerals.
The water used in boiling cabbage can be used to
rinse the face after washing.
Carrots-
smashed carrot pulp makes good face packs.
Garlic-
raw garlic is known to treat persistent pimples.
Oats-
Oats are also highly
absorptive, hypoallergenic, and help to soften skin. They have the best amino acid balance of all the cereal
grains. Oats
have also been clinically shown to help heal dry, itchy
skin. The
edible grains of a widely grown cereal grass, oats (avena
sativa) appear in many beauty products. People
appreciate their soothing, anti-inflammatory properties.
Come to think of it, that's another childhood memory.
When I got the chicken pox my mom popped me into an
oatmeal and baking soda bath to relieve the itching.
They have the best amino acid balance of all the cereal
grains (amino acids work as water-binding agents in skin
care products). Oats have also been clinically shown to
help heal dry, itchy skin. Oat grains and straw appear
in shampoos, dusting powders, moisturizers, and
cleansing bars and that's just the start of a list!
Potatoes-
apply grated potato as poultice to treat skin blemishes,
pimples, boils, whiteheads and blackheads.
Radish-
paste made from ground radish seeds is effective in
removing blackheads. Grated white radish juice is used
as a skin whitener.
Rice-
paste made from rice powder is used as poultice to sooth
bleeding pimples and other skin inflammations.
Sandalwood-
sandalwood is known to treat pimples.
Tomato-
red tomato pulps can be used to treat pimples. Good
tomatoes are an abundant source of vitamins A, B
(including folic acid), and C; potassium and magnesium;
and valuable antioxidants and trace elements.
Turmeric- paste made from turmeric powder can be used to treat
remove wrinkles, dark circles under the eyes, minor skin
blemishes as well as prevent skin aging.
