Along with this, you can also use some natural herbs from Ayurveda to complement your efforts. In today’s article, I’m sharing with you some magical herb agents which you can use to get a youthful glow.

Holy Basil or Tulsi is helpful in preventing the signs of skin aging. The topical use of tulsi helps to retain the moisture levels of the skin. Plus, it helps to reduce the skin roughness and prevents wrinkles giving a smooth look to the skin.

It is used in Ayurvedic medicine on a wide scale for its healing properties. Its anti-aging properties help to prevent the breakdown of collagen (skin protein). Cinnamon helps to retain the elasticity of the skin.
Take one teaspoon each of cinnamon powder and honey. Mix both the ingredients well. Spread this mixture on the face and leave it for 10-15 minutes. Then, wash your face with lukewarm water.

This is a well-known herb which is used for its medicinal properties. Ashwagandha is loaded with antibacterial and antifungal properties and helps to protect the cells from oxidative stress and damage. This keeps your skin in good health and the signs of aging at bay.
Take a ½ teaspoon each of ashwagandha powder, dry ginger powder and lemon juice (with added water). Mix all these ingredients well and make a paste. In case it’s too thick, add a bit of water. Put this paste all over your face and let it dry. Then, wash it off with water.
This herb protects your skin from the harmful UV rays which cause fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging. Rosemary helps to prevent photodamage and improves the elasticity of the skin.
For this, you will need two cups of water, two fresh twigs of rosemary and three tablespoons apple cider vinegar. Then the next step is to mix all the ingredients in a pot and boil on medium heat. Boil for a while (until the quantity is reduced to half) and let it cool. After this strain the liquid and store in a spray bottle. You can use this solution as a toner for your skin.
This aromatic herb has multiple benefits. Apart from adding flavor to your food, it helps to prevent the skin damage and signs of aging. It possesses great antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Take one tablespoon of dried thyme and half a cup of alcohol-free witch hazel. Then, add all the ingredients in a glass jar. Let the thyme soak in the witch hazel (an astringent) for a week. After this, strain the solution and use it as a toner.
