Do You Know How To Glow?

My late ninety-year-old grandmother used to denounce all skincare creams and tell everyone that switching off the lights when the sun goes down was the best way for getting great skin, citing herself as an example. She certainly had glowing skin, following nothing but a disciplined routine till the end of her life. All of us in the extended family called her ‘the Cleopatra of the family’ as she used to be immaculately dressed and very particular about her health routine too.

I am sure most of us have witnessed the older generation having such a disciplined attitude. The fact is that skin, like everything else, responds to what we do, think, and eat. This is something we do know, but we often fall into the trap of fancy creams and brands that are being advertised profusely.

I met Sonali Gaur when my husband joined the national defence college course for senior officers. When I saw her for the first time, I could not believe she was middle-aged as she looked so young and glowing. I learned that she was a yoga aficionado and requested her to conduct a class for all of us. I soon joined the yoga class she conducted and learned many things from her. Not just yoga, but attitude too. We can stop depending on external things and work on aspects which are within our self. “External packs may bring about a temporary change, but internal change is permanent and full of benefits,” she says. Sonali suggests we all do the following:

Regular exercises

Exercises such as Pilates, aerobics, swimming, walking, swimming, and running, done wholeheartedly for 45 minutes to one hour, are useful.
