Elixir of youth

MaslineHello my dear friends, how are you? We are on weekend so you probably enjoy your time with your loved one. Well, I hope that you will find a little time for yourself, too.

In all my posts until now, I wrote about creams, masks, lotions that you can easily make in your kitchen and they will help you avoid premature aging. Today, I will write about that too but I also would like to share with you one secret. What do you think, which 5 things will make us look older that we really are?

  1. Cigarettes
  2. Alcohol
  3. Sleeping position
  4. Lack of sleep
  5. Sun tanning

I am sure that you know all about this, but I would like to mention sleeping position. First of all, you need to forget to sleep with a pillow and if possible, sleep on your back. This advice is given by plastic surgeons.

Groceries that will help you look young will find their place in your kitchen very easily. Those are : Lemon, grapefruit, avocado, lettuce, egg whites, organic apple cider vinegar. To this list, we need to add sodium bicarbonate, aloe Vera and clay as well. The purchase of those last ingredients is usually planned but they are also great friends for our skin and they are good allies in the anti-aging process.

Vitamins are also important for young looking skin. The most important are vitamins A, C and E. Beside applying products on your skin, you also need to eat healthy food.

One grapefruit will help you get enough vitamin C which to optimize RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance). Vitamin C from grapefruit, will help your body to produce collagen. In case you have some kind of cardio-vascular problems or allergies you will need to forget about this heavenly fruit.

Today, I would like to share with you one face mask recipe that will help your skin regenerate and it is known as elixir of youth. If you use it twice a week, your skin will look younger and little wrinkles will disappear. I got this recipe from one girl friend of mine, I am using this mask for some time now and I warmly recommend it to you .

Recipe

Put in a blender some lettuce, 1 table spoon of olive oil and one tea spoon of lemon juice. Mix it well until having a homogeneous mass, then apply it on your clean skin. After 20 minutes wash it off with water, first lukewarm water and then cold water. Put then on a moisturising creamon your face.

Be beautiful, nourished and healthy.

SEE YOU SOON-)))
