In Ayurveda oil plays an important part in all treatment and also in the maintanence of health
Taking oil bath is a good habit of maintaining your skin, an application of oil all over the body and taking bath in warm water will help in softening your skin and also delay the ageing process.

Instead of soap use ground cucumber mixed in bengal gram powder and milk which will make your skin more softer and also remove the extra fats.Ayurveda very much recommends milk and begal gram powder as the best source for body cleansing.

Ghee another important resource for good health in ayurveda.
Taking one teaspoon of raw ghee everyday will give a good glow to your skin and also help in reducing and delaying the wrinkles in your skin.

Using the mixture of neem paste and coconut milk instead of soap also will give your skin a good glow and make it softer and reduce the wrinkles and most of all it will give your skin a fair complexion by removing the black marks in your skin.

Applying turmeric powder mixed in coconut milk is a excellent source to get your skin fairer and also it will help your skin to protect itself from all infection.

You can also use the mixture of turmeric powder, bengal gram powder, and milk or milk cream for your skin to get fair complexion

An equal mixture of honey and lime juice applied on your skin acts a bleaching agent.

Orange fruits skin or lemon skin dried in sunlight and powdered and mixed with milk is a very good paste that can be used to remove black marks, and dots and is also good for bleaching the whole body

Use slices of salad cucumber or potatoes on the eyelids to reduce black circles around the eyes.

Kumkumadhi thailam used externally is very effective in removing black dots and dark circles inhaling the same thailam will prevent pimples.
