SKIN AND HAIR CARE

Your face may not be your fortune, but a glowing, healthy skin is the basis for looking beautiful. Many women hide under their make-up and will not be seen without it, but make-up is just another form of dressing up, and when the clothes and make-up are removed at night, we are in our natural state, with nothing left to hide behind. Very often we treat our bodies as dummies on which to hang our clothes, and apply make-up without giving much care to the condition of the skin underneath. Our skin is a living, breathing organ which is our friend and protector and deserves to be respected and well cared for. It is not mere vanity to care for and be proud of healthy, smooth skin: just good common sense.

It does not take a lot of time or a great deal of money to have a complexion that looks good, is free from blemishes and soft to the touch. All that is required is daily attention to cleansing and nourishing the skin. Nature’s repair process is slow and steady, with cells being constantly renewed. This renewal of cells happens very fast in babies and children, and begins to slow down as we get older. Slower cell renewal means that skin becomes drier, allowing wrinkles to appear, dead skin cells are shed more slowly and therefore making the skin lose its youthful bloom. By using a nightly aromatherapy facial massage oil, we can cause the skin cells to renew themselves more frequently, thereby emulating the process of nature in a young person. The removal of dead skin cells, by thorough cleansing and toning of the skin each day, will also create a younger-looking skin. It is the reflection of light from the skin which denotes a youthful bloom, and conversely, it is the accumulation of dead skin cells on an older skin which prevents this reflection of light, thereby giving the appearance of dull, aged skin.

Next to smooth skin, a smile is your best asset, lighting up the face of the ‘plainest of Janes’. So soothe away the cares of the day in aromatic baths; sprinkle essences around your home and office; and try to sort out little health problems before they become a worry.

Real beauty comes from within. It is not something we can buy in pots, massage in, or obtain from a beauty salon. But it is something that can be acquired, as a whole person improves her state of health, vitality and confidence. We don’t have to accept what we see in the mirror, because if we don’t like it we can change it. I don’t mean by plastic surgery, because I don’t think that wrinkles or a large nose make any difference to a person’s beauty. Beauty comes from within and everyone has the power to possess healthy shining hair, sparkling eyes, satin-smooth skin, and a happy countenance. For me meditation is vitally important for my well-being and happiness, and has caused a beautiful transformation in my life.
