Healthy Radiant Skin



Did you know the most nourishing and versatile skin care products can be found right in your own kitchen. If you haven't tried it yet, you might want to adopt the idea from the ancient holistic system of Ayurveda. Sesa
me oil has been used in Ayurvedic medicine dating back to about 5,000 years ago. Your skin is your largest organ, and so it's no wonder the beauty industry makes well over 50 billion a year. Our skin absorbs whatever is put on it, and eventually ends up in our bloodstream. It's been shown that significant amounts of cosmetic ingredients, including carcinogenic substances, penetrate the skin and end up in our blood stream. You can't avoid everything and I'm not saying get rid of all your skin care products, but incorporating sesame oil into your routine has quite the number of benefits.
