Wonderful herbs to have flawless skin

The state of your skin is highly dependent on your food intake. So, if healthy, flawless skin is one of your beauty objectives, include some herbs in your diet. I list my five favourites.

Turmeric

For the goodness of India’s favourite herb, all you have to do is head to your kitchen counter. This fabulous ingredient purifies blood, nourishes the skin and gives it a healthy natural glow. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory, anti-aging and anti-bacterial properties that help reduce inflammation of skin, acne, pimples and blemishes.

Peppermint

Suffering from oily skin prone to pimples? Sip into the benefits of peppermint, a really helpful herb that not only adds flavour to your tea but also controls excess oil and lends complete freedom from acne. That’s not all; because of its cooling, menthol content, it will reduce the redness in your face and also give you a healthy, clear glow!

Basil

Have you ever wondered why the Italians are the best looking? Maybe their high intake of basil has got something to do with it. The amazing herb has a calming effect in the stomach with properties that detoxify your body toxins, reduce stress and rejuvenate your lifeless skin.

Ginger

Say hello to youthful skin minus pimples with the help of the healing properties of ginger every single day. The miracle herb fights the free radicals and purifies the impure blood. Hence, gets rid of your blemishes and spots.

Sprinkle the delicious flavour of oregano in your food. This herb has anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial properties and is also rich in vitamins, fibre and minerals, all essential for soft and beautiful skin.
