The Secret to Younger Looking Skin Naturally With Herbs

Herbal Beauty Secrets
Pretty skin can be handed down from one generation to another and even if it isnt there are secrets in nature that can change that! Lucky for me my grandmother always had skin that looked younger than she actually was. A wise woman she was and she always told me that there are some things that improve with age, but our skin is not one of them. Its no secret that she was right,for as our skin ages it becomes less elastic, our natural collagen production slows down. Bottom line is that our skin loses the substances to snap back into place. Dead skin cells don't shed as quickly and the turnover of new skin cells decreases. And so we start to see lines and wrinkles. Nature herbs are a well know secret to repairing and rejuvenating skin to a healthy glow and keeping that skin at its best.
Anti aging treatments can help and encourage the healing and regeneration process. To stay healthy and fresh, remember that our skin needs proper nourishment to achieve this. Know that you need a good daily routine. And that is the just the first step.
Skin Secrets from Nature
The healing properties of plants have not changed since the beginning of time. what was a healing herb thousands of years ago is still a healing herb today.Looking young naturally using herbs is not only smart but it is easy, all it takes is a little knowledge. So with a little extra help from mother nature we can turn to the herb Gotu Kola to encourage our skin to produce cells that have slowed down, we can use Aloe Vera to add moisture and rid the old skin to encourage new growth and some may even chose to embrace the natural aging process rather than color our hair. (Maybe that persons skin has a glow that enhances her natural beauty!)
Here are just a few herbs, and the ways we can use them to look younger naturally. I thank my grandmother of course for most of this knowledge, the luck of some good genes and a few of her recipes to keep that perfect complexion!

Mix one tablespoon of baking soda with enough aloe vera juice or gel to make a smooth paste. You can add more baking soda if the mixture gets too wet. Best if you use bottled or fresh aloe vera. Gently scrub face with circular motion for 1-2 minutes then rinse, tone and moisturize.
Skin Rejuvenation
Aloe Vera
A member of the Lily family, Aloe Vera is also known as the burn plant, and whose name in Sanskrit, kumari, means princess.It is no secret that Cleopatra massaged Aloe gel into her skin to make it shine. And still today as nature gives us Aloe you will find this herb in some of the best skincare moisturizes and treatments in skin care today. As Cleopatra used the fresh leaf gel we should follow in her as we all know that she had beautiful skin.
For skin to look young there needs to be fresh new skin cell growth and as we age the secret is to encourage and rev up the process. Exfoliation helps to eliminate the outermost layer of older dead skin cells. The dead skin needs to be sloughed away so that the skin can keep to the natural rejuvenation plan. Aloe Vera with its jellylikfe gel is good for removing dead skins cell. And it is twofold as it is also great for soothing and treating dry skin, breakouts and sun burns, moisturizing the skin, soothing for insect bites and many other skin irritations.

wavegirl22 Amazing wonderful hub. You worked hard to share some very wonderful news. I am thrilled. I am bookmarking your hub and linking it out. This is so well written. It is truly a joy to read and learn. I am Blessed to be here.
Please do come over and visit me. I have joined your team mate'. I am going to be Radiant. This hub is a GOD sent, and I hope it reaches many woman and men. Hugs.
~ skye2day - thank you so very much for your kind and encouraging words. It is always nice to meet a new friend around here. I will be by to visit you too shortly. . welcome to the Hub . .it is certainly a great place to share and learn~
Well, it seems to me that you don't need to look younger, and to be forty I defend myself well enough. But I'll bookmark this hub just in case.:) And stumbled of course.:)
hypno - there is nothing better than Fridays and having you stumbling me ;) Someday maybe we can share a good glass of red wine .. .I m thinking you like me like a little vino rosso .. good for the healthy look as well as the heart. And you know you that you already have my heart;)
Thanks :), I know we have a special link, and I like it. And yes, I think someday we should share a glass of red wine, if I'll come to USA that's definitely something I have to do ;) But maybe it would be better one of those nice beaches.;)
Have a wonderful weekend. And thanks for your wonderful words, you've made me very happy.
hypno - that we do .. there is no denying special and i concur .. I like it too! You never know I may be in Italy before you get to NY. Think north and think of the most beautiful Lago.....
buon fine settimana:)
Grazie altrettanto (the same to you), nice you know some Italian :) That would be great! I guess it could be Lago di Garda, but there are also Lago di Como and Lago Maggiore. Any one of them would be a good choice. Red wine is good in each of them. :)
I love reading about natural skin care, so loved this one too. Another excellent hub....have been taking notes all along. Keep up the good work...! :)
hypno-I will be in Lago di Como in July! My friend is turning a big number and she told me I will be 'de'friended if I do not attend! Mia figlia is in Italia now studying for the year;) Lets hope her italian after the year is better than mine!
MOW - I loved doing this topic. Aromatherapy is so good for every inch of us! Again many thanks for stopping by and for the very kind words;)
Thanks wavegirl for nice information. I had proof that aloe vera really benefit for me. It good for my hair, skin and digestive health. I always blend the aloe vera and good for healthy drink.
That's great. It would be wonderful to meet for a glass of wine there. Her Italian can't be worse than my English. :) Happy Sunday!
~ prasetio30 - Always a pleasure to share good information! Aloe Vera is something that should be in everyones kitchen. I have never had a drink of it maybe I should try it. Nice to learn something from my own Hub . thanks for that tip:)
~ hypno - Your English must be perfect. . especially because you write it as if is your first language. I just dont believe you that your English is not anything but fantastic . .It looks like I am going to have to find out for myself ;)
I just dive in here as I smell something good has been created here. Aloe Vera is the one I like. This hub is cool just as a person who wrote it. Well done!
LizzyMyBoo - How you make me smile! You must must try some Comfrey. It is like a miracle. .. thanks for the thumbs up. Always special when I see you here;)
My spoken English is pretty awful, but I can always resort to a pen and a desk pad. ;)
hypno - somehow that is hard to believe! Your pen is just too good, maybe your accent gets in your way .. but to american women that accent when speaking English is way sexy!
It should be the same with american women speaking Italian. This is very interesting, we should definitely have a small talk. :):)
hypno-I am afraid that is not the case. When I speak Italian everyone kinda laughs . . somehow my NY accent just does not translate as well as your Italian accent does in English! But I can roll my "r"'s pretty well!
Si! Dobbiamo sicuramente avere un colloquio di piccole dimensioni:))
The rolled r actually is pretty (very) sexy. When I went to Great Britain for my Hypnotherapy Diploma everyone was laughing too; usually I read and write almost without dictionary, and I can understand pretty well spoken English. But my spoken English at its best is just funny.
Since your written Italian seems pretty good I can always lend you the desk pad. ;)
Hypno .. trust me my Italian is at best understanable when I order a glass of wine. . basta! You better get that desk pad ready!!!
:)
Thank you. Very informative and interesting. Had no idea grape sead oil was more potent than vitamin E oil. I may start using that instead.
