Skin Care Tip: Ayurvedic body skin care

submitted by J.Urena, Los Angeles, CA USA

Tip description / details:
A traditional Ayurveda method to maintain good body skin health is to perform a quick daily self-massage before showering with cured sesame oil. According to Ayurvedic tradition, this practice not only helps maintain good skin, but has a powerful effect on overall health and immunity. This practice is recommended by Dr. Deepak Chopra, among many other practitioners of Ayurveda.

Ingredients:
Raw sesame oil, which is available from health food stores.

How to prepare:
Heat the oil in a recipient until a few drops of water on its surface start to sizzle. Do not allow oil to burn. This procedure "cures" the oil. Let cool down, and put in a bottle.

How to use:
Apply all over your body with a massage, before the shower. You may or may not use soap, whichever you prefer. You can apply the oil all over your body, including face, and scalp. Do not forget bottoms of feet, and ears, which are two areas especially important, according to Ayurvedic tradition.

Results (observed by submitter):
Best method to keep the skin on your body in perfect shape. In my experience, much more effective than using body lotions, if done with some perseverance.

Costs involved:
Very inexpensive
