It is the age of botox and line augmentation which is picking up like fire. There are natural methods to looking beautiful too like soy for instance.
Soy has estrogen-like chemicals called isoflavones, which help in keeping your skin smooth and wrinkle-free. It’s a secret weapon that enhances your looks. All you need to do is take in one to two servings a day to give your skin the required boost.
Uses of Soy can be taken in multiple forms – as soybeans, tofu, soy latte (milk) or soy powder.
Proof of the Pudding
Research on cosmetic products keeps on happening, on national and international scale. After all, their purpose is to give the never-ending customer a basket of choices. In a human study done sometime back which was published in the European Journal of Nutrition, a soy-based supplement proved its worth by improving skin texture and firmness, that too after six months of use.
How is soybean different from other plant foods? It is because of its high-quality protein content. Did you know that soy has umpteen fiber and isoflavones? It is aglycones (a form of soy isoflavones) that diminish fine lines and wrinkles. When it comes to skin care, soy reverses sun damage and tightens up sagging skin.

Health Benefits of Soy

While animal milk is loaded with cholesterol, it’s not the same with soy milk. If you have a family history of heart disease and high cholesterol, then switch over to soya milk.
Lose Weight: Since soy milk has lots of fiber, it tones down your hunger pangs thereby keeping you fuller for a longer period of time. Besides this, soy milk helps rid of body toxins too.
