Nature has blessed us with numerous foods that are elixirs for us. When we allow nature to embrace us, we see it glowing on our faces and health. Such is the magical potency of nature that a look around and you might find a hundred aphorisms engraved in the history of cultures across the world. Take for example the saying that goes around an apple and how it can keep a doctor away.
Today, the market is all full of products that claim to be helpful to our health. But a slight peeking into the ingredients reveals the deadly side. Most of these ingredients come packed with deadly chemicals. These products seem to be excellent at the first sight, but long-term exposure leads to terminal diseases like cancer. This is why it is always recommended to depend on natural ingredients and use them to nourish yourself.
Here is a list of a few common natural ingredients that you can use today and provide yourself with a natural glow:
Honey
For ages, honey has been considered an elixir for many problems like cough and cold. But apart from healing us from the inside, it also has the potency to enhance our skin. Honey is a natural humectant that moisturizes and soothes the skin. It also has antibacterial properties that can help treat acne. So, the next time you have a breakout, try applying a dab of honey directly onto the affected area. You'll be buzzing with joy at the results!
Oatmeal
If you think oatmeal is only to be eaten for the breakfast, find yourself to be wrong. No matter how much you or your kids hate this ingredient, your skin definitely loves it. It's an excellent exfoliant that can help remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. Simply mix some oatmeal with water to create a paste, and massage it onto your face in circular motions. Your skin will be left feeling as smooth as a bowl of oatmeal.
Avocado
You must have heard of how avocados are rich in antioxidants that slow down aging and diseases. But did you also know that avocados can be a great addition to your skin as well? This fruit is rich in healthy fats and vitamins that can nourish and hydrate your skin.
How to use avocados for skin? Mash up some avocado and apply it onto your face like a face mask. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes, then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Your skin will be as soft as a ripe avocado.
Aloe Vera
Whenever health has been spoken about, Aloe Vera has been lauded as well. It is a soothing ingredient that can help calm irritated skin. Not only this, it also has antibacterial properties that can help treat acne. Apply a small amount of aloe vera gel onto your face, and let it work its magic. Your skin will thank you, and you'll be feeling as cool as a cucumber. When buying aloe vera gel, consider reliable sites like eBay where you can buy natural health and beauty products at a lower price.
Green Tea
When you get bored of imbibing green tea, use to on your skin. Green tea is packed with antioxidants that can help fight signs of aging and reduce inflammation. Brew some green tea, let it cool, and use it as a toner. Your skin will be left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, leaving you with a feeling as perky as a cup of green tea.
We all have numerous ingredients in our kitchen that do not get utilized to their full potential. So, the next time you step inside your kitchen, look at what you can use on your face – just leave red chili for your peace’ sake.

to be successful when dating your girlfriend
To have a perfect date, first you need to determine a date time that suits the two of you. Therefore, you need to ask her about a suitable date and time, so you can set a time to meet, bringing a feeling of comfort to both parties. The first date always leaves a special feeling in the hearts of the people involved. Therefore, you should plan in detail to create an unforgettable impression in the beauty's heart. You don't necessarily have to spend a lot of money to hire a private band of musicians, or take her to luxurious and expensive places, just a romantic meal together at the park or something. It's so sweet that she's never done it before... Surely, she will always remember this impressive date. If you and she had a successful first date, continue planning the next date. Because this is necessary to let her understand that you are very interested in her. However, when showing interest, you should not show too much emotion because it can make her feel suffocated. Even if you and she have had interesting dates, that doesn't mean you should stop keeping in touch with her. This will make her think that you no longer care about her.Therefore, you need to continue to keep in touch to let her understand that you are still there and still care about her every day. Girls often don't like just listening to you talk about yourself without mentioning anything related to them. Because that proves that you are selfish and don't care about their thoughts. Therefore, you need to create a balance between questions and answers between the two of you throughout the conversation.You can ask questions about her life, hobbies, work... and share information with each other. During your daily conversations, you should keep in mind the likes and dislikes she has shared with you. If she mentions that she doesn't like seafood dishes, it's best not to date her at restaurants that specialize in seafood. Through this, she will know that you always listen and understand her.Chivalry and "gallantry" in behavior are always appreciated by girls in a man. Therefore, you should be polite, caring and do the best for the woman you want to create a long-term relationship with. Honesty and kindness are always good qualities that girls want in a boyfriend. Therefore, please respect, cherish and always help her when she needs you. There's nothing worse than when a girl thinks things are going well between them and you, but then you "disappear" without saying goodbye. This is the worst thing and unintentionally lowers your self-worth. Therefore, you should behave like a grown man.If you no longer have feelings for her then politely and gently tell her, give her that respect, because she deserves it Sometimes girls can feel uncertain about your feelings for them. Therefore, they would love to hear you remind and confirm your feelings for her once again.You don't have to repeat it 24/7 because it can make her feel bored and suffocated. But, if she doesn't listen to your reassurances, she may feel insecure about your feelings. Another bad thing that girls often encounter is not being able to predict a man's behavior. Therefore, you should not say one thing and do another, but always be consistent between your words and actions, that will make girls always respect you.
