8 Ayurvedic Herbs To Fight Skin Aging In Your 30s

Post the age of 30, the skin becomes dull and has wrinkles. Use this Ayurvedic herbs to keep your skin looking young and beautiful.

Work stress, pregnancy, hormonal disorders, and lifestyle changes take a toll on your health and skin. This becomes rather prominent when you approach the age of 30. This is because, in your 20s, the skin turnover (new cells replacing the dead ones) is usually every 14 days. However, in your 30s this slows down significantly, once every 28 to 35 days. Hence, skin starts looking dull, dry, and lifeless as the dead cells interfere with the skin’s natural mechanism of exfoliation.

However, Ayurveda has an answer to those pesky wrinkles, bags under your eyes, dark circles, and laugh-lines on your face. It offers eight natural anti aging herbs for skin that are just right to slow down the ageing process and make it as envied as the celebrities.

Vitamin C helps in boosting immunity, so it keeps skin infections at bay and improves cellular health. Gallic acid fights the environmental oxidative stress that causes wrinkles and dullness. When used externally on the face, it reduces pigmentation and blemishes by oxidising melanin and closing skin pores, and eliminates the signs of ageing.
