(NaturalNews) Instead of drastic surgical procedures, dangerous injections, or chemical ridden creams, many are turning to natural treatments to ease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By utilizing a few simple techniques that can be implemented at home, the complexion is revitalized. Skin becomes radiant through the use of herbs, facial massage and diet.

Select medicinal plants are especially beneficial for the health of the skin. Hawthorn berry and the Ayurvedic herb ashwagandha are both powerful anti-aging tonics. Hawthorn protects against solar radiation and helps to oxygenate tissue while ashwagandha is a formidable antioxidant.

Topical oils naturally support beautiful skin as well. Essential oils of cypress, grapefruit, lemon, and peppermint stimulate the lymphatic system, thereby promoting detoxification and healthful skin. Rose helps to improve moisture retention and tone, whereas lavender tends to be astringent and tightens pores. Due to their concentrated nature, essential oils always need to be diluted in a carrier such as jojoba, almond, or olive oil.

Daily practices for a youthful glow

A routine of facial lymphatic massage can significantly reverse the signs of aging. Not only does this technique smooth wrinkles and create luminous skin, but it also helps with facial swelling, tension, and dark circles around the eyes. Using acupressure points and slow circular motions, the entire face and jawline are massaged. When used in conjunction with essential oils specifically beneficial to the lymphatic system, the skin is effectively detoxified and collagen production is encouraged.

Relaxation practices such as yoga, meditation and deep breathing help to support an ageless complexion too. Due to the fact that stress constricts breathing, managing this state is crucial to ensure the skin receives enough oxygen and nutrients.

Food-based beauty

Specific foods are exceptionally valuable in maintaining youthful skin. Since antioxidants help protect against free radicals that cause aging, a diet abundant in fresh fruits, vegetables, and superfoods is vital. Blueberries, raspberries, acai, camu berry, spirulina, leafy greens, and brightly colored vegetables are all outstanding choices. Berries are especially advantageous due to their high level of vitamin C, the ultimate collagen supporting nutrient. Fish oils, flax and chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These nutrients are essential for skin elasticity and luster. Additionally, minerals such as calcium and magnesium help maintain a smooth complexion.

Green tea is also found to be extremely beneficial. This potent infusion provides a spectrum of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and flavonoids which protect against premature aging and cellular damage. Lastly, do not forget about water. Because dehydration contributes to aging, drinking plenty of purified water throughout the day is one of the best habits to adopt for beautiful skin.

So reveal that ageless luminosity. With targeted natural treatments, along with eating and living well, a healthful and radiant complexion is easily attainable.
