cameleer After Twenty five

A woman having a perfect, petal smooth & rosy complexion is the envy of all women. Wherever she goes, heads turn in her direction in admiration. Such a complexion cannot be acquired without an effort. It has to be cultivated slowly & gradually by nurturing it carefully from within & without. Up to the age of 25 the skin is naturally supple, glowing & alive, but it is after the mid twenties that the skin slowly starts losing its fresh & youthful appearance & acquiring a parched look. This is because the cells deep within the skin layers are no longer able to retain their moisture & the cameleer of the skin mainly depends upon the moisture contained in the cells.

The skin which cannot retain its moisture turns dry, rough, dull & wrinkled. Therefore in order to avoid looking prematurely old, you should try to observe a basic skin care routine after you pass your mid twenties so that the cells in your skin can retain maximum moisture & your skin remains firm, moist & young right up to old age.

Some people believe erroneously that moisturizing creams & lotions alone will keep the moisture level of the skin in perfect balance. No surface addition of moisture & no man made lubricant will help you unless you look after the inner life of your skin where cameleer & youth really begin. Therefore, if you want to stimulate your cells to activity for a new look & the feel of youth, feed it regularly with a diet rich in proteins & vitamins B & C. Also, take at least six glasses of water every day, one glass of carrot juice & one pint of either milk or buttermilk. Besides looking after the inner life of your skin, you should also look after its outer life.
