Anti ageing tips-naturally!

My grandmother and mother both have great skin and that is a result of them following a very disciplined diet and beauty tips that they have gotten from their ancestors. I have never seen any of them use any anti-ageing cream but even then,they both look at least 10 years younger than their natural age. Here are some of their favorite tips that they have shared with me (in the hopes that I can ever live a disciplined life as them,haha!)

1. Stress is useless. Running after money,getting so immersed in commercialization that one simply forgets the art of living is the biggest culprit (according to them) of our problems. It is this stress,all this worrying,all this competition that is ruining our health from inside which clearly shows on our faces. So always try to be calm, do yoga, meditate, join a laugh club, have some hobbies to indulge in, switch off gadgets once in a while, surround yourself with friends and family to feel happy and look good! (This had nothing to do with any beauty tip but my mother forced me to put it in!)
2. Eat naturally. Load up on vegetables, fruits, nuts, stay vegetarian as much a possible. Eat at home freshly cooked stuff rather than going outside and having oily,fat-filled stuff. My grandmother has never even entered a restaurant. Talk about mission impossible! But this is true. In college,I had given up eating outside for a month when my mom had put me on a dare and I could see then how eating oily food outside lead to increase in my pimples and my skin so much better and I felt more energetic too. This is true even for packaged food. Ready to eat food, chips, sodas, burgers, pizzas are actually loading our bodies with the most horrible stuff that is killing us slowly. The sad thing is,our lifestyles sometimes make it almost impossible for us to not eat outside. Even then,I try as much as possible to have food at home,using as many fresh ingredients as possible.
3. Choose your oil. Almond oil, castor oil, olive oil,coconut oil. These are just some oils that are really awesome for our skin and hair. I love almond oil since it gives visible results to me. My mom loves coconut oil. So does my grandmom.Try around and see which one best suits your skin. Use it in your face masks, to moisturize or just dab a few drops at night before sleeping and wake up with plumped skin in the morning. This is one of my mom's secrets. At night,she cleanses her skin using a homemade neem + turmeric mixture and then just puts a few drops of coconut oil to massage lightly and then goes to sleep. She doesn't have a single visible wrinkle on her face till date!
4. Drink water as much as possible. Do not become crazy and just drink litres of water at once or else you will destroy your kidney! But drink water at regular intervals and better still, drink warm water to keep your digestive system perfect and also cut down on that obstinate fat deposit in the body.
5. Take care of whole body. Do not focus on just face. Use oil to massage not only face but whole body. Use exfoliators all over body too. Use moisturizing lotions on hands,necks and feet liberally or else what happens is that our face looks great while other areas start looking aged!
6. Rose water, yoghurt, milk cream, almonds, multani mitti,chandan,turmeric and so on -our mother nature has given us so many natural products to work with so there is no need to run after so many expensive creams and potions that actually load up our skin with chemicals so much that our skin gets addicted to all that. It becomes a vicious circle then!
