Ancient Skin Care Remedies That Just Work!
Beauty is something that has always been important to people in society. No matter where you live or what culture you derive from you want to feel beautiful and feel good about yourself. One way to do that would be to take care of your skin and your body. Some ancient skincare remedies that just work would consist of rosewater, turmeric, and clay mask. Roses have holy beliefs in Iran. People call it the flower of Prophet Mohammed because they believe the smell reminds them of the Prophet. Dr. Bhardwaj states rosewater has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce redness, get rid of acne, and eczema. Another ancient remedy would be turmeric. 80% of the world’s turmeric if consumed by India and India makes most of it. Not only is turmeric used on the skin but is also used in orange juice, cereals, yogurt, and sauces. Turmeric is used because it’s believed to make the skin glow and remove bacteria from the body. Lastly one of the most commonly used ancient skincare remedies in modern-day would be clay mask, specifically bentonite clay mask. Bentonite clay comes from volcanic ash. Not only can it be consumed within the body to remove harmful bacteria and purify, but it can also be used as a skincare remedy. Bentonite clay is known to be used to remove impurities from the skin. Hannah Zahner from Camille Style states, taking a bentonite clay detox bath is a great way to remove heavy metals from the body. These are only a few ancient skincare remedies that still work today. I mean, if it weren’t for Cleopatra who’s to say it couldn’t work for you!
