One of the joys of womanhood is taking the time to pamper to face each new day looking and feeling the best. Women normally reserve pampering for special occasions such as weddings. On the contrary, periodic pampering sessions ensure that women are always prepared to face new challenges with confidence and flair. There are always chances to create special occasions simply by setting aside time to pamper, renew and recharge ourselves on a regular basis.

Overview of Skin & Function

Your skin is a living organ that covers the whole body. It is your body’s largest organ measuring 1.5 square meters. Its thickness varies from 0.05mm on the eyelids, where it is at its most delicate and translucent, to 0.6mm on the sole of the feet, where it is at its toughest.

With the exception of the palm of the hands and soles of the feet, the skin is covered with hair follicles.

The skin functions are to protect the body, to help regulate body temperature by perspiration, and to excrete waste products such as water and salt.

A facial is the best treatment you can give yourself. It not only improves the circulation of blood but also stimulates the muscles of your face. It eases tension and gives a fresh glow to your skin. Tie up your hair, then clean your face with one tablespoon rice flour mixed to a paste with curds, add a pinch of turmeric powder and apply on your face. Rub nicely into the skin, then remove with a piece of cotton-wool soaked in warm water, wash with cold water and pat dry.
