Exercise can be beneficial too - focus on chest-enhancing workouts that help tone and shape naturally.

For your skin tone and to get that glow back, the first step is cleansing from the inside. Trikatu churna, a mix of black pepper, long pepper, and ginger, boosts your metabolism and helps detox your skin. Use sparingly, it’s got quite a kick to it! Drinking plenty of water infused with tulsi or mint is great for skin hydration & clarity.

Chewing a small piece of sandalwood (yes, gum), or applying sandalwood paste, is a classic Ayurvedic remedy for cooling the skin and enhancing complexion. You might like a face pack made from yogurt and turmeric; apply and leave it for about 10-15 minutes, then rinse off.

Meditation and pranayama help with stress reduction; stress can alter hormone levels impacting skin and body balance so give it a shot daily 🤸‍♀️🌿. Sleep is your golden ticket - your body and skin rebuild while you snooze. Aim for 7-8 hours; that’s when magic happens.
