Instant Beauty Recipes from Ayurveda – Simply Gorgeous!

As I was surfing the net looking for an instant hair conditioner recipe for weakened hair, I stumbled upon dozens of easy breezy Ayurvedic beauty recipes that are as green as they can be. The simplicity of these recipes was simply charming, and after trying a few of them I understood that sometimes simplicity is a sign of genius.

Here are some of the Ayurvedic beauty gems:

Instant skin food: grate the coconut and squeeze out the milk. Apply this milk over your lips and face to boost the healthy glow. Yummy!

Instant toner: saturate a cotton wool ball with plain milk and wipe on the face with it.

Instant moisturizer: pure castor oil prevents wrinkles and softens the skin.

Instant hair conditioner: mix one table spoon of honey and 2 table spoon of cream (I am trying this one today!)

Instant face whitener: Rubbing a raw potato on face removes marks and pigments.

Instant acid peel: blend 1 tablespoon orange juice and 1 tablespoon lemon juice with  a cup of yogurt. Apply it to your face and keep it on for 15 minutes, then rinse off or wipe off with a wet face towel.

Instant moisturizing mask: blend a cucumber with glycerin and rose water and apply to face for 10 minutes.

Instant revitalizer: blend 1 tablespoon of lightly boiled orange lentils (I guess, any lentils would do!) with 1 tablespoon milk and apply to skin as a mask

Instant acne clarifier: blend 1 teaspoon of turmeric with 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon milk. Apply to affected areas. Turmeric is exceptionally rich in antioxidants!

Now, that’s the age-old wisdom the way I like it: practical, easy, and working in less than five minutes!
