Surefire natural ways to care for skin

If you can make it a daily routine and take care of your skin every day, you can be sure to reap the fruit of your hard work. Your skin will look flawless and shiny, even as you age. Here are some great tips for clear skin. These tips are all natural, easily accessible which not only give you a better skin but also a healthy life. They are perfect for all the skin types.

Drinking adequate water 

• Water cleanses the body and eliminates the toxins and waste. It hydrates the body and removes excess oils and dirt. 15% of our skin is made up of water.
• Drinking at least 2 liters per day gives the skin a bright, noticeable change in less than a week.

Daily dose of Vitamin C

• Regular intake of vitamin C improves collagen production, enhances skin brightness, keeps away age spots and pigmentation and enhances the skin’s ability to protect itself from the damage caused by the harsh UV rays of the sun.
• Some of the best food sources of vitamin C are blackcurrants, broccoli, guava, grapes, kiwi fruit, strawberries, amla or Indian Goose Berries, lemon, papaya and sweet potatoes.

Nutritious Fiber rich diet

• Digestive problems result in skin impurities; hence diet is really essential for healthy skin. Taking in the right amount of micro-nutrients and vitamins is great for clear skin.
• Food for glowing skin should be carefully selected natural protein foods like fish, nuts and white meat, grains like buckwheat, brown rice and quinoa, vegetables like broccoli, tomato and beets are very healthy and good for the skin.

Wash face

Cleanse your face twice every day, washing your face more than this can result in dryness. The natural oils produced by the skin are required to nourish it and provide flawless beauty and skin care. Use cold water to cleanse your face after washing it, as warm water opens the pores which allow bacteria and dirt to enter into them.

 Leave stress behind

Stress hormones lead to excessive oil production which will result in white heads. Running, a warm bath and a short sleep help reduce stress and get rid of acne. At least 7 to 8 hours of sleep is needed for an active mind and glowing skin.

10 Useful ways To Protect The BANANA Peel From Waste

1. Relieve Rashes and Itches

If you’ve got a bug bite, poison ivy rashes, psoriasis patches, you can take your banana peels and rub them into your skin. If you experience burning, which psoriasis often causes, or itching from allergic reactions and bug bites, place the banana peel into the fridge until it becomes cool. Place the chilled peel onto your skin for instant relief.

2. Eat the Peel but

If you want to eat a banana peel for an extra boost of nutrients, fiber, and antioxidants, make sure to boil the peel for 10 minutes. Then toss the peel into your juicer or blender with other fruits in order to mask any bitterness. Always make sure to clean and remove any pesticides from the peel, which goes the same for any fruit you eat.

3. Polish Leather and Silver

Rub the inside of your banana peel onto your leather shoes, jackets, or even furniture and then buff it with strokes from a soft cloth. Also mix the peel with water to use it as a silver shiner and cleaner.

4. Fertilize Tomato Plants

Wrap a banana peel around your tomato seedlings when you first plant them. As the tomato plant grows, it will absorb the nutrients from the peel throughout the season. 

5. Feed Animals

Throw your banana peel into a blender or chop it up and mix it into feed for chickens, pigs, rabbits, and other livestock. On a regular basis, it’s not ideal for domesticated pets’ digestive systems, such as cats and dogs, but the occasional banana chunk is a great way to get in essential vitamins.

6. Make Banana Vinegar

Banana peels have a bitter flavor with an underlying sugary taste to them, which is what makes it a great source for home-made vinegar to use for salads, or any recipe that calls for vinegar.  Place 2 pounds of sliced-up banana peels into 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Remove peels from the pot and squeeze their juices into the pot using a cheesecloth or similar material.Add four more cups of water with a cup and a half of sugar and bring it to a boil. Drop the temperature and stir for 15 minutes. Grab a canning jar and pool the liquid in along with one half teaspoon of baker’s yeast, and screw the lid onto it and place it in a cool place for seven days. Open the jar and filter out and remove any sediment, then add one cup of vinegar and leave it for four weeks.Then it’s ready to be thrown in a pot over heat for 10 minutes of pasteurization. Wash the jar thoroughly and place contents back into the jar in a dark cool place until you’re ready to use it. The  entire process takes two months, but it’s natural and completely resourceful.

7. Tenderize Meat

Take a ripe banana peel and cover your boneless, skinless cuts of meat in order to keep it from toughening or drying out during baking or even frying.

8. Feed Indoor Plants

Stick a banana peel in a large jar of water in a one part banana to five parts water ratio and after it’s soaked the nutrients out of the peel, fertilize your indoor plants with the health-enhanced water.

9. Attract Butterflies and Birds

By placing your peels on a raised platform, such as a birdhouse or tree branch, butterflies and birds will be attracted to the sweetness of the peel. However, it’s important to note bees and wasps also like the peel’s sweet contents, so it’s best to keep it away from your house or children.

10. Use In Compost

If you leave a banana peel on the counter, you’ll notice they usually break down faster than your other fruits, which is exactly why you should toss them into your compost. They’ll add plenty of nutrients into the soil for vegetable and flower gardens.
