Scientists found out that Latino age more slowly compared to other groups. The findings were published in an issue of Genome Biology.

But genes are not the only factor to be considered as to why Latinos age slower. Their skincare habits should also be credited for it.

You don't have to spend a lot just to get that glowing supple skin JLo flaunts. Here are some of the timeless skin care tips most Latinas practice:

1. Healthy hair

Avocados can be added to your beauty routine by using it as hair conditioning weekly. Avocado oil is rich in good fatty acids that can nourish and strengthen your hair.

This can also provide moisture that will give your hair a shiny look. This also promotes healthy growth, while protecting hair from damage and dryness.

2. Healthy nails

Say goodbye to your nail fungus with this beauty remedy. All you need is to soak your nails in vinegar for five minutes and soak them again in baking soda and water solution around the same period of time.

If you want to keep those nails healthy and strong, garlic is the answer, my friend. Mince one garlic clove and add it to a bottle of clear nail polish. Apply it to your nails and wash hands with lemon to remove the smell. See results in a few weeks.

3. Heal skin with plants

Who said Agave can only be used in tequila? The Aztecs used Agave back then to heal sunburns and moisturizing hair. But now, you can use it to hydrate your under-eye circles. Nature's best to heal your skin.

Nopal cactus can also be used to hydrate and detoxify skin. You just need to remove the needles and soak it in warm water. Once soft, they can be split in half and rubbed on the skin. Kind of how you use an aloe vera.

4. Moisturize skin

Get that moisturized skin with just a few ingredients you can grab from your pantry. Colombians are known to mix strawberries, yogurt, and honey for a hydrating facial mask. But this can be changed based on your liking or skin's needs. You can mix yogurt, coffee, banana, and lulo if you want to try something new.

In Chile, women use red grapes for masks to keep their skin moisturized. This can be done with mashed grapes with flour. This can diminish redness and blemishes, which can give you a healthy glow.

5. Exfolliate naturally

Who knew you can exfoliate your skin with papaya? Well, Peruvians women knew.

Eat the fruit itself and gently rub the inside of the papaya skin in your face for a minute. Why papaya, you ask? Papaya is filled with an enzyme that helps break down inactive proteins and remove dead skin cells. It also contains vitamin A, which helps reduce fine lines.

If you want more texture in your exfoliation, you can try Bolivian pink salt. This is an ideal use as a body scrub. This contains minerals like magnesium, calcium, and potassium.
