A face is the mirror of a personality. People go to extreme lengths to gain that glowing skin and a beautiful face. They spend a lot on cosmetics to try and beautify the face, but if the results are too slow then they change the product or discontinue the treatment. What’s the use?  Try something which is easy to use and will also not result in any side effects. Let’s share some age old best practices to keep your skin as beautiful as a teenager.

     1) Take lemon juice (10 ml and sieved twice), 10 ml glycerin and 10 ml rose water—all the three in equal proportions.  Mix all the three constituents and keep it in a glass bottle. Apply this lotion on the face ever night before sleeping. Applying this lotion with a light hand regularly will make your face beautiful, pimple free and reduces the effects of ageing. In a mere fortnight, it removes the effects of pollution and stress and makes your skin smooth and supple. Lemon juice has a property to clean the pores of the skin and that’s why it is especially effective for cleansing and pimple reduction.

Specially, in the winter season this lotion is highly effective as it prevents the cold winds from doing the damage to you beautiful skin.

2) Take three parts carrot, two part tomato and one part beet-- make a juice of the three together. Drinking this juice regularly for 15-20 days can make your skin free of wrinkles, marks, pimples, etc. and makes your skin beautiful. This can be replaced only by carrot juice or orange juice if other materials are not available though the above mixture is much more effective. Carrot juice also helps in acidity and removing stomach worms. Having this juice in the afternoon is best and don’t eat anything before and after the juice. You will see a splendid glow on your skin.

 3) Mix lemon juice and rose water in equal parts and apply on the face with a circular and gentle motion of the hands. Wash the face with normal water after half an hour. This will help in the removal of pimples and any kind of a mark on the face.

 4) Another method of getting rid of the pimples would be to rub the lemon peel on the face and washing the face with warm water.

5) Applying olive oil on the face daily helps you get rid of pimples, botches, face marks and rashes.

This should not be used by people having oily skin.
