Being beautiful is an innate desire for every woman. But let’s be honest with ourselves: are we dedicating enough time to rest and taking walks? Are we having breakfast and lunch on time? Do we eat fresh vegetable salads daily and drink milk and juices? All these questions are not trivial—they matter. A decrease in vitamins in our bodies immediately affects our skin. Specifically, a lack of vitamin C can lead to dryness and a pale complexion. Often, women strive to lose weight without consulting a doctor, resulting in poor health, irritability, and fatigue. And what about the skin? Even young skin can lose its freshness.
With the arrival of the first spring days, make an effort to spend as much time outdoors as possible. If you notice pigmentation spots and freckles on your face, step outside after applying a sunscreen. Every evening, wipe your face with sour milk and wash it off after 20 minutes. Cucumber is great for whitening the skin. You can also use parsley juice. Pour half a cup of boiling water over a tablespoon of finely chopped parsley. Once it cools, strain it and use it to wipe your face. Those with freckles and pigmentation spots should pay special attention to their diet, ensuring it is rich in vitamins C, P, and PP. Vitamin C can be found in cabbage, sorrel, spinach, lemons, and black currants. Vitamin PP (niacin) is present in yeast, grains, legumes, liver, meat, and milk.
Before long, you’ll be wearing short-sleeved dresses. Pay attention to your elbows. If the skin is rough, soak them in a warm bath with salt and baking soda (one teaspoon per cup of water) for 10 minutes. Rinse and apply a nourishing cream. Repeat this procedure daily until your skin becomes smooth.
If your elbows are particularly rough, scrub them with damp salt, rinse with slightly acidic water (a pinch of citric acid in a quarter cup of water), and apply cream.
For those over thirty, I recommend washing your face with salty water. It works wonders for weak facial muscles. In the morning, after your usual wash, apply a nourishing cream to your face. After 10 to 15 minutes, wash your face again with a cool saline solution (one teaspoon of salt per cup of water).
It’s advisable to do this procedure 15 to 20 times in a row, avoiding the cold season. Repeat it in 2 to 3 weeks.
When you look tired but need to go out to a gathering or the theater, a warm saline compress can be beneficial. First, apply a vitamin-enriched cream to your face and neck, then dip the middle of a terry towel into a warm solution (two teaspoons of salt per cup of water), wring it out slightly, and place it on your chin, then on your neck. After that, hold the towel against your face.
