 Our great-grandmother, judging by the extant portraits and descriptions looked no worse than we did. Although, of course, no creams, lotions, shampoos, gels and diversity alia cosmetic industry they had not. But we had the pure nature and willingly used her gifts.
One of the magical means to care for face and body, which enjoyed the beauty of the past, there was dew.
The dew that fell on the meadow and dangling shimmering asterisks on grasses, not only is able to preserve the beauty, rejuvenate and heal the body. After all, the majority of medicinal herbs there, the same yarrow, motherwort, valerian, shepherd's purse, and many others, they contain a great number of substances beneficial to the human body and of its healing properties they convey ROSAM.
Rosa with motherwort can gather and drink in cardiovascular diseases, mildew mint calms the nerves, and yarrow with almost all the internal organs.
But our grandmother bathed in dew. Of course, it is difficult to imagine a girl or woman, dragged along the grass early in the morning. Although if you have herbs at their summer cottage and the site is not visible neighbors, it can afford to spend a mermaid and swim in the morning dew. From several of these procedures the skin look younger and noticeably acquire soft satin appearance.
 Most healing considered Kupala dew falls on Midsummer (from 6 to July 7). It's the height of summer, while the lush flowering herbs.
Dew is particularly useful in warm dry weather. Dew that fell in the morning sun dries up, and flowers and leaves of plants are substances that she learned in the evening and morning. New dew dissolve these substances, and if she wash or bathe, the healthier the whole body, especially the skin.
In the old days the grass is rolled naked. Women who managed to get old for a long time, belonged to Kupala night in the dewy thickets of willow-herb, and there tried to get wet through, and those that are bolder, got into the thicket of naked, shook off mauve flowers fragrant drops of dew and washed the body. Water balls rolled on the skin, cold and appeasing not only the body but also the spirit. So swimming in rosah it is also strengthening the nervous system. For the nerves especially good dew, taken on the new moon with chamomile field.
But if you do not want or you can not lie on the grass in the morning, you can spread out the sheets on the grass, and when it gets wet, turn it after a shower and stay in dewy sheet 7-10 minutes.
