BEAUTY RITUALS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

BEAUTY RITUALS FROM AROUND THE WORLD 

    Do not dismiss your granny the next time she gives you an earful about the virtues of a good old champi. There is wisdom in those words. Beautiful skin, hair and nails do not have to be synonymous with lighter wallets and wasting hours on end. We bring you a compilation of some amazing beauty techniques from around the world. Not only are they intriguing, but also completely natural. From soothing a flaky scalp to getting lustrous skin, there’s a way to have it all. 
 
SPANISH CIRCLES
    
You surely must have tried cucumber slices to lighten dark circles around your eyes. And there’s also a range of haemorrhoidal creams to treat under-eye circles. Weird as it sounds, it is supposed to work like a dream! Not brave enough to try it? Then follow Spanish women and use very thin potato slices over your eyes. Keep them on for ten minutes. You will notice that they actually lighten the skin reducing the blueness of the veins under your eyes. 

KISS CELLULITE GOODBYE, THE BRAZILIAN WAY
    
Cellulite is every woman’s despair and there seems to be no way to shooing it away. Here’s a thing to learn from Brazilian women, who rub sand on their bodies. When it comes to cellulite, dry brushing is the best, natural and probably, the only way to getting rid of them. So, use sand to kiss cellulite goodbye. 
 
GREEK TLC FOR LIPS
    
Beauty regimens need not mean spending a bomb on products or devoting a lot of time to it (unless you are greatly inspired by Cleopatra). Some of the most easily available things straight off your kitchen shelves can be used for beautifying your self. Greek and Italian women use olive oil to sooth and repair chapped lips. It is the best treatment to heal dry and irritated skin. It also conditions skin and lips while making it glow beautifully. 

CHINESE ANTI-AGING
    
Want skin that defies age-related problems? Sip on white tea like the Chinese do. It protects your skin from free radicals and you don’t need to worry about Botox, fillers, collagen and the likes. 
 
AUSTRALIAN DANDRUFF CURE
    
Suffering from dandruff? Add a few drops of eucalyptus oil or tea tree oil to your shampoo and kiss those flakes goodbye. This is a foolproof trick from down under to getting rid of dandruff. Be careful with the essential oils though. Massage your scalp with a few drops to see the change. 
 
SCANDINAVIAN SKINCARE
    
They aren’t called the world’s most beautiful women for nothing. Scandinavian women are credited with flawless skin and aging gracefully. Water plays an essential role in their skincare regime, drinking lots of spring water along with treating their face to it. Steaming your face while in the shower helps open the pores and unclog all the impurities lodged in them. You can also use a hot towel to cover your face for a few minutes for this purpose. Then splash your face with ice cold water. Cold water closes the pores and tightens the skin. It also helps eliminate puffiness. A good 20 splashes with cold water should do the trick.
 
 
DOMINICAN WAY TO STRONGER NAILS
    
So what is the secret to the super strong nails of women from the Dominican Republic? Garlic. It is the natural way to strengthen your nails and to ward off vampires! Want sturdy nails? Chop fresh garlic pods and add them to a bottle of clear nail polish. Leave them in there for seven to eight days. Paint your nails with this concoction. Although it will smell initially, it is a small price to pay to getting rid of brittle nails.
