Heyy Girl Heeyy!
We all know that Asian women have the most gorgeous skin in the world. Super soft and flawless. Thanks to their traditional diets for over 50,000 years. Their homegrown secrets have kept them healthy on the inside as well as on the outside.
We all know that a basic to healthy skin is clean diet (lots of fruits and veggies), exercise, sleep and water. But here are some beauty secrets I found:
Rice Water- After cooking your jasmine rice leave the leftover of milky water. It helps to get soft skin and hair. Rice is a source of antioxidant and vitamin E. Back in the days Geishas used to take milky baths to maintain softness of their skin. You can add it to your bath or wash your skin to maintain that softness. Can also be used as a toner, just remember to store it in the fridge.
Green Tea- Its source of antioxidant when you drink it, and that helps your skin on its own. You can apply it on your skin to help brighten it as well as treat acne. It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties. Green tea also SLOWS DOWN AGING PROCESS! So start drinking your green tea couple of times a day and hopefully you will live young and beautiful FOREVER! Who doesn't want that?? ;)
Here is a Home Made face mask:
3-4 green tea bags
2 tablespoon of honey (Honey is natural antibacterial. It will kill all the germs while feeding nutrient to the skin)
Mix the honey and the green tea leaf. Apply to dry clean face. Keep it on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water
Seaweed and Kelp- It is a traditional skin care treatment. It is natural exfoliant to remove dead skin cells. Seaweed helps in toning and cleansing the skin. Its helps your skin glow as well as it minimizes the appearance of pores. Kelp is a sea algae, it protects your skin from UV rays and pollution. It also helps with firm lines and dark circles. Ofcourse, You can make your own beautifying face mask.
