Beautiful skin is a much sought-after trait in our society. Regardless of our sex, age, or ethnicity, we all want to feel good in our own skin. This desire, coupled with the growing number of aging baby boomers who are unhappy about their blemishes, wrinkles, and sagging skin, has created an ever-growing demand for solutions to prevent the signs and symptoms of ageing.

The result of our ceaseless desire for smooth, young, and glowing skin has led to an explosion of anti-ageing surgeries and cosmetic products in the market. But do you really need to go under the knife or pay thousands of rupees for special products like skin fillers? Do you think cosmetic treatments like botox and dermal fillers can correct your skin problems? Do they give you a long-lasting and safe solution? Here’s the answer-

Cosmetic treatments often come with major drawbacks

A badly done botox job can cause drooping of the eyelid or brow if injected near the eye. It can also lead to weakness and paralysis of nearby muscles. It can also cause hives, rashes, or itching.

Dermal fillers may cause redness, bruising, bleeding, or swelling. It may also lead to undesirable appearances such as asymmetry, lumps, or overcorrection. Thus, whether you opt for botox or cosmetic fillers, you must undergo the treatment under an expert and discuss your individual needs before making up your mind for the treatment.

Is there another way to turn back time, safely and naturally?

Yes, there is. Homeopathy can be your safer alternative to skin fillers as it takes a constitutional approach to address your skin problems.

Research shows that there are two distinct types of ageing – one that is caused by the genes you inherit (intrinsic ageing) and the other type of ageing caused by environmental factors (extrinsic ageing) like sun exposure, stress, sleep, smoking, and pollution.

Homeopathy can address both types of issues by strengthening your body’s defense system from inside. While homeopathy does not promise any magic bullets for anti-ageing, some homeopathic medicines can slow down the ageing process and help you live a healthy and happy life.

Similarly, there are homeopathic medicines which address your concerns based on your individual needs and help you deal with them safely and effectively.

Besides taking homeopathy help, one should take care of the diet and lifestyle which helps in anti-ageing, naturally.

Tips to slow down the ageing process:

  • Quit smoking –

    The more cigarettes you smoke and the longer you smoke, the more skin wrinkling you’re likely to have – even though the early skin damage from smoking may be hard for you to see initially.
  • Get moving –

    Time and again, we have heard that exercise is great for the heart, lungs, and mental health. Here’s another reason to get moving – regular exercise is one of the keys to healthy, glowing skin.
  • Eat right –

    You are what you eat, the saying goes. Foods containing antioxidants have been shown to neutralize free radicals by stabilizing them.
