The Four Commandments for a Beautiful Skin

The Four Commandments for a Beautiful Face

If you are a woman, you would want to be beautiful, youthful, and forever young.

What is beauty? Is beauty only skin deep, or something in the beholder’s eye?

In the Orient, the perception of beauty may vary from that in the West: the focus in the East on inner beauty or the inner eye may sometimes seem like imperviousness to the Western mind.

The Oriental perception of beauty may have stemmed from Buddhism, which promotes the following inner innate qualities:

Compassion for others

Detachment from negative thoughts and feelings

Peace of mind and inner tranquility

Right-mindedness from a true heart

A truly beautiful woman has a serene face with a softening spirit. Such a face is often a reflection of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual aspects of that individual. Beauty is more than skin deep: it exudes inner confidence.

You may become aware of the first click of your biological clock around age 30, when your first streaks of silver appear on your hair, or around 35 when you first notice your crow’s feet (for some, this may have happened even sooner.).

According to Phyllis R. Koch-Sheras, clinical psychologist and professor at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, understanding the changes and learning how to accept and cope with them are anti-aging.

After age 30, your estrogen and testosterone (yes, in women too) levels begin to decline, thus initiating the long process of aging. Getting yourself informed is important in keeping yourself younger for longer.

The four commandments of eternal facial beauty are:

(1) Thou shalt not smoke

Cigarette smoke contains free radicals which damage not only your skin but also your entire body system.

Do not smoke. If you are a smoker, quit smoking immediately.

(2) Thou shalt not drink excessively

Excessive alcohol damages your liver, which supports your skin and kidneys to remove toxins from your body. A damaged liver affects your fertility, your hormone production, and your skin beauty and health.

Drink moderately – no more than one glass of wine a day.

If have alcohol addiction, cure the addiction naturally and permanently.

(3) Thou shalt not worship the sun

The sun’s harmful ultra-violet rays damage your skin permanently.

(4) Thou shalt not eat junk food

Diets and nutritional foods play a pivotal role in skin aging. You are what you eat, and you become what you eat.
