Five Free Beauty Tips For Women Who Wish To Stay Ageless
One of the good things about being seventy is that younger women can judge whether my advice has any bearing by looking at my skin. I admit to taking good care of it and going for regular beauty treatments (since at my age I need all the help I can get!). However, there are many women who don’t have time to do so - especially stay at home mums. These inner and outer beauty tips cost next to nothing using ingredients from your kitchen cabinet or fruit/vegetable rack and if you’ve got young ‘uns, can be made or applied when they are having a nap (as much as we love them, what a blessing this alone time is eh?). Before we move onto a few of my favourite outer beauty tips, let’s start on the inside because if we don’t, the stresses and strains of life will show up on our skin before their time. So, two super beauty juices with masses of health benefits are beetroot and carrot juice. Beetroot juice is number one on my list because it cleanses the blood stream and if that’s regularly flushed you won’t get outbreaks of annoying pimples. In addition, beetroot lowers blood pressure, feeds hair follicles ensuring you have luscious, shiny hair and is classed as an aphrodisiac. Maybe you’re thinking ‘yuk, I don’t like beetroot,’ in which case may I suggest you train yourself to adore it since everything is mind over matter and you’ll thank me as the years roll by. This is my recipe for beetroot juice (which I find delicious). However as with all recipes you can experiment, add extra herbs and make it your own. One fat beetroot, two generous glasses of water, good squeeze of lemon juice, a tsp of fresh grated ginger and black pepper/celery salt to taste. This will make two glasses of beetroot juice which I recommend you drink once a week.
