The pursuit of a beautiful appearance has become an addiction for both sexes in UK and around the world.

What used to be the privilege of catwalk models, call girls, glamour models and celebrities is today a widespread obsession around the world. Both sexes, but especially women, are increasingly obsessed about their image.

According to the UK-based professional sunless tan company Sienna, women in general spend an estimated £133,575 across the course of a lifetime trying to stay young and looking good. From gym memberships to salon trips and spray tans, the average woman will spend more than £2,055 every year on cosmetics products.

From the age of 25, wrinkles, cellulite, skin dryness, hair and nail-matting appear because our bodies lose the ability to renew natural collagens. The inevitable aging process begins, leaving us anxious and insecure about our looks and complexions.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines ‘beauty’ as a combination of qualities, such as shape, colour, or form, which pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight, or a combination of qualities that

pleases the intellect.

There are a myriad of beauty clinics that promise their customers more than they can possibly achieve.

Whether pale, white, tanned, brown, dark brown, black or stuck with a skin tone you wish to trade for another one, skin whitening, sun beds, lasers or the use of other dangerous agents –not to mention chemicals– are not always the best solution.

Beware!

Melanin is the pigment that gives skin its colour and helps protect it from the sun.

Chemical cream or laser skin-whitening for melanin removal can lead to serious complications such as:  scarring, skin infection, skin turning darker or too light, skin cancer.

Those wanting to keep young-looking skin and a youthful appearance should also consider natural and safer alternatives.

It is vital to gain a better understanding of each different type of skin. Once you know what makes your skin distinct, you will then be able to make a wise decision about your skin care.

Sagging skin is one of the most prominent signs of aging, just as acne, eczema, psoriasis, ringworm and other dermatological conditions are signs of an unhealthy skin.

Smooth and healthy skin can be better achieved through natural means.

Below are some much less risky beauty treatments than synthetic products and surgical procedures and which are also kinder on the pocket.

Milk

For  a fresh and rejuvenated face.

Do you want to give yourself an impeccable home facial spa? Fresh pure organic milk could be the agent.

Get a milk-based mask by mixing 1/4 cup of powdered milk with water to obtain a thick paste. Thoroughly coat your wet face with the mixture, let it dry completely, and then rinse with lukewarm water.

Yogurt and orange juice

For a clean, smooth and velvety skin, or to tighten the pores, spray some plain yogurt on your face and let it soak in for about 20 minutes. For a revitalizing facial mask, mix 1 teaspoon of plain yogurt with the juice from 1/4 slice of orange, leave the mixture on your face for 7 minutes before rinsing it off.

When it comes to skincare masks, lotions and moisturisers, always go for the natural-based options. The best natural diet and skincare moisturisers will strip decades away from your age and banish wrinkles, age spots and saggy skin.

Mint juice to get rid of pimples

Mint juice can be used in a few different ways to improve your skin tone and reduce blemishes. Also it contains menthol that gives it a cooling effect.

To get rid of pimples, apply fresh mint juice to your face every night.

You can also crush some mint leaves and add two tablespoons of plain yogurt to the paste. Apply it to your face and neck, leave it on for 15 minutes, and rinse off.

Repeat the process a few times a week.

Water

Hydration also plays a vital role: The extra fluid makes it easier for you to flush out toxins and

waste. The body is composed of over 70% water –and that makes up every cell, including skin cells. One of the main components of healthy skin is water:  the first step towards preventing dryness of the skin throughout the four seasons is to increase our water consumption. Drinking one and a half litres of pure water a day, for instance, keeps the skin moist and supple and dramatically reduces the likelihood of wrinkles and large pores.

Beauty sleep for a glowing complexion

According to a study, repeatedly having a poor night’s sleep can make us look older than we are. Sleeping at least 7 to 8 hours every night helps you achieve a glowing Complexion. Your body boosts blood flow to the skin while you sleep. If you skimp on sleep your complexion can look drab, ashen, or lifeless.

If you have enough sleep, it renews and conserves your energy. The body produces growth hormones during sleep to facilitate the use of amino acids as they repair bone, muscle and tissues, including the skin. A good sleep also improves heart and arterial function, and the resilience of cells in the burning of fat through energy expenditure. It also vitally increases blood circulation efficiency which keeps the cells furthest from the heart, such as the skin, well-nourished.

A healthy lifestyle is key

If you rely on a healthy natural diet and plenty of exercise you will discover that staying young and beautiful is not as difficult as the advertisers lead us to believe.

You cannot smoke like a chimney, continually get drunk, have frequent unprotected casual sex, eat junk food and party every night, yet expect to emerge with a glowing, healthy skin.

It is possible to boost collagen naturally by eating lots of fruit rich in vitamin C –particularly grapefruit, oranges, cantaloupe, broccoli and cauliflower.

Applying simple everyday routines and self-discipline can also ensure a healthy and beautiful-looking skin.

Being misinformed or stubborn can be fatal because using sun beds, chemical cream or laser skin-whitening for melanin removal can lead to skin cancer.

It is, therefore, a much smarter move for all skin colours and types to work on increasing natural collagen production so that skin can constantly rejuvenate itself.
