Ayurvedic Tips for the Skin

Glowing skin is a sign of good health. But one does not need to use expensive cosmetic products to attain it. Cosmetic products can sometimes be harmful and may have side effects. Let me give you some quick and easy Ayurvedic tricks which will give you radiant skin with more long-lasting effects than any cosmetic product out there:

1)      Orange Juice: Oranges contain high levels of Vitamin C. Apply Orange Juice on your face like a face pack. Leave it on for ten minutes, while you check your Facebook and WhatsApp. Then rinse.

2)      Neem: Neem is by far one of the best natural products for the skin.  I am fortunate enough to have a neem tree just outside my building. I have been experimenting with neem leaves for years, and the results have always astonished me. Boil neem leaves in little bit of water, after it cools, apply the water to your skin. Using this technique I was a also able to get rid of rash which I had for years.

3)      Aloe Vera: It may not be bad idea, to grow aloe vera in your house. It’s a plant which requires very low maintenance. Inside the leaves of the aloe, you will find a transparent gel. Squeeze this gel out and apply it to your face. Do this at least once a week. Voila! Radiant skin in a month.

4)      Rose Water: This isn’t the most effective of methods, but does also give a cooling sensation to the skin which can be rather soothing and relaxing.

5)      Lemon: Lemon juice rids the face of excess oil. For oily skin, this is the most effective treatment.

6)     Sandalwood: Bathing in sandalwood is not something you only should do during Diwali. Sandalwood improves the complexion and gives the skin a rich look. The best way to apply the sandalwood is by mixing it with dahi. This also gives a cooling sensation and makes the skin as soft as that of a baby.

7)      Vicco Turmeric Cream with Foam Base: The only reason I mention this last is because it is the most important one. You can do things the easy way, or the hard way. All the tricks and solutions mentioned above represent the hard way. Instead of taking the pains of boiling neem leaves or cutting open aloe vera leaves you can simply get ‘Vicco Turmeric Cream with Foam Base’ from the shop and apply it to your skin. Its Ayurvedic formula with microbicidal properties of turmeric. It is not only the solution for oily kin, pimples and blackheads, but it also cures skin infections, rashes and allergies.

Keep Smiling!

 The secret to a good smile is a good dentist. That’s why I always tell people, ‘It doesn’t matter who you choose as your wife. But choose your dentist wisely.' After all, my best feature is my smile. I never miss a chance to show off my perfect teeth. 

When I was in Mumbai I always made it a point to visit the dentist on a regular basis. A few months ago I had to shift to Pune to give my CLAT examination. Due to my change in lifestyle, even my habits changed. I was there in Pune for only a few months, so it didn't feel like home. I felt I was a guest there the entire time. 

Fortunately, I cleared my CLAT examination with flying colours, after which I literally danced on the streets. I had come one step closer to becoming a lawyer.  But in order to get into a good law college I also had to clear a personality test. A day before the interview, I was shaving, when I noticed tha my teeth were pale yellow. I also had a cavity, which I decided to get checked as soon as I got back to Mumbai, but which was paining more than ever.  I decided to visit the dentist the same day. Unfortunately, I did not know any dentists in Pune, and in all my time there I had never gone for a dental check up. 

Then my friend told me about a website that Thanks to that website I found some reputed and well known dental hospitals in Pune in a second. I noticed a good clinic nearby, which was highly rated and had gotten really good reviews. I went to the dentist the same day, where I received an amazing treatment. I’ll spare the readers the details of my interview. But needless to say, I did extremely well. Since My cavity was filled, I could give the interview comfortably and since my teeth were glistening, I had the confidence required to crack it.

I'm glad I found a good dentist so quickly. Since then I have lived in different places in India, and I've never put off going to the dentist, no matter where I was.

My Healthy Angel…

When I was a child I was afraid of doctors. I was not comfortable with the concept of a random person probing my entire body with a stethoscope. Doctors in those days used to treat even children like adults. There was no comfort, and no entertainment. A visit to the doctor was always dreaded.  

Just a few months ago my niece (Arya) was suffering from some stomach problems. It was nothing too serious, but it also wasn’t something to be taken lightly, either. She hated visiting the doctor. I decided to take her to a pediatrician, instead of our general fellow. His medicines usually had no effect on her. He was also a big bore.  Perhaps his medicines did not work because he was giving her the same medicine which he would give the oldies like me. I thought maybe if is she was treated by a pediatrician; she might actually like visiting a doctor.  

I asked around, but no one knew anyone who practiced pediatrics in Mumbai. I thought to myself, ‘Whom should I ask? Whom should I ask?’. Then it struck me. I took out my phone and asked ‘Askme.com’ . In a second, the names of hundreds of pediatricians in Mumbai appeared before me. After browsing for a while among the many options, I finally chose one who appeared to be suitable.

I took Arya to the pediatricians the very same day. She had a wonderful time! The doctor played games with her, made funny jokes, and when it was all over, she even gave her a lollipop! Looking at them, I wished I was a kid again.

A week later, Arya, who was fully cured, ran to me and asked, “When can we go to the doctor again?” I laughed. Askme.com helped me and my little angel, Arya, find the perfect pediatrician. She is no longer afraid of going to see the doctor. On that day I decided, that instead of asking questions to  my neighbours who claim to be ‘know-it-alls’ , I would direct all my questions to Askme.com. Since then I have always managed to be, exactly where I want to be.
