Golden glow for skin

Hi, my dears,

                Hope you all enjoyed reading my previous post. In continuation of the previous post, today I will post about how to get the golden "Midas" touch to your face with just three ingredients that are right in your kitchen shelf. We all dream to have a glowing skin that's completely flawless without any makeover. But we do see some black spots, blackheads, acne, crow's feet so on and so forth on our face. The worst is the wrinkles.

                We think wrinkles do not affect us as we are on the right diet plan and then bam! There's the presence of wrinkles the next day! Luckily, I have no wrinkles on my face as I strongly stick to homemade facial pastes that act as anti-tan packs, antioxidants and face protectors. So let's begin today's session.

                   For the golden face pack, all you need is

1. Half cup of turmeric

2.  Two spoons of curd

3. thick layer of skimmed milk

                          To start with, add a sufficient quantity of thick layer of milk that is skimmed, to the turmeric powder. Mix these two well and add two spoons of curd to this. Make it into a fine paste and apply it to your face and neck immediately. Do not use any gram flour or Fuller's earth (Multani mitti) as this will make the paste harsh on your face leaving some crude rashes. Make this into a thick paste as a light layer of paste will not show any effect on your skin. Apply it in circular and anti circular motions on your cheeks. The cruder the paste, the better the result. 

                          Once you are done applying on the cheeks, apply the paste above and below your chin. Scrub it lightly in these areas as turmeric removes unwanted hair above your lips. Rub the paste mildly in a circular motion around your eyes. You can skip this step if the paste you made is too crude. Leave this mask on your face till it dries and wash it off with warm water. Do not use cotton as turmeric and cotton stick together and do not come off your skin easily. 

                            After you wash off your face, you will realize a radical change in the texture of your face. You will see that your face will now have a natural yellowish gold look. Not only does this add beauty to you, but also brings many benefits to you. 

                            Turmeric acts as a natural sun blocker. It protects your face from getting tanned and also blocks the pores in your face naturally.  Also, turmeric removes hair from the upper lips and on your face. It saves the money that you spend on threading, facials, and cleansing! Also, it kills some of the bacteria on our face that are responsible for acne and puss-filled pimples. It is a natural antibiotic that heals acne and pimples. 

                          When the pimples are touched, they leave a black mark on the face. Turmeric has the capacity to wade off even the black marks on your face that have been on for so many years. One of the next amazing benefits is, it completely removes and blocks blackheads and whiteheads and heals our skin with natural repairing ingredients face. Also, wrinkles and crow's feet stay away from you as long as you apply turmeric to you Awesome, isn't it? Milk and curd act as moisturizers to soothe your skin and bring an even tone. So there you go! Awesome homemade face pack that has multiple benefits of a salon! 

I hope you enjoyed reading this post. I will meet you in the next post where I will write about a whole new topic. So stay tuned to receive more exciting tips. Meet you in the next post. Until then, take care. Love you loads :)

Fun in the Sun!!!

Hi my dears!!

Summer is around the corner and I hope everyone are enjoying the weekend by chilling out in their homes. Many women prefer to stay indoors to keep their skin cool and healthy. I say, come out and let's have fun in the Sun!!! Challenge the Sun with these face packs that keep you and your skin ultra cool!!! So why late??? Let's get started:):)

Let's get started with mint leaves. I am pretty sure everyone would have heard about how mint acts as a coolant on skin and scalp. To keep your skin cool, boil some mint leaves mixed with turmeric powder. Make it into a smooth paste and apply this on your face. Wash it off with cold water after 15 min. Mint cools your face, while turmeric removes dirt and bacteria from your face.

Cucumber is a widely used veggie for cooling skin, eyes and body. It is also taken as a juice to reduce the heat in body. Also, it acts as a natural moisturizer. The face pack that I am gonna teach you now not only cools your skin, but also keeps your skin fresh. Take 10 to 15 pieces of a cut Cucumber and mash it into a paste. You can use a mixer or a blender but see to that you do not make it into juice. Mash it into a smooth paste and mix nearly 6 to 7 table spoons of sugar to it. Keep it in the refrigerator till it gets completely cold. Apply the cold mixture to your face and wash it off with cold water once it gets dried. You need to add more sugar to the cucumber paste so that the pack works effectively.

Those with oily skin can use tomato face pack. It removes tan and excess oil from the face. Mix a few drops of honey to three table spoons of tomato juice and apply it to your face. The honey helps in keeping your skin glowing. Wash it off after 20 min to get smooth and fresh skin.

For those with dry skin, oats face pack works the best in keeping the skin fresh and also smooth. It will balance the skin tone by retaining the moisture in your face. Mix cucumber paste and one table spoon of curd to half cup of oats. Apply this to your face and wash it off after with lukewarm water after 30 min.

So that's it for today my lovelies:) I hope I have introduced some new face packs that rejuvenate your skin and keep it cool and fresh. Try these packs as all these are natural packs that do not give any side effects to your skin. Meet you in next post. Until then, take care:):)

Beauty & You

Hi my loveliest lovelies!!!

Hope you are enjoying the bright and sunny days. It's almost summer now and we all are equally worried about the tan and pigmentation on our face. To combat this, I have prepared some home made face packs that can be used to treat tan and pigmentation. These face masks can be prepared by everyone in their homes. Also these packs have long lasting effects than the packs that you get at local stores.

1. Honey face pack:

                 
















Mix one table spoon of milk powder, lemon juice, honey and half tea spoon of almond oil in a bowl. Apply this face pack to your face and wash it off after 15 min. This face pack removes tan and also retains the glow in your face.

2. Oat meal face pack:

                Many people tend to mix oat meal with milk or water. But this does not remove tan. Rather, it makes your skin more harder. The right way to apply an oat meal face pack is to mix it with tomato juice. Tomato juice effectively removes the tan from your face and also keeps your face soft and supple.

3. Milk:

                 Mix one spoon of besan gram flour, two spoons of lemon juice and make it into a paste. Apply it on black spots and wash it off after 15 min. You can also apply it as a face pack. Whenever I feel that my skin is tanned, I use this face pack once a week and continue ot for a month. This pack gives you instant results. Lemon lightens your skin and reduces dark spots while milk retains moisture.

4. Orange:

                  And here comes my all time favorite face pack. I just love having orange face packs as it instantly enhances your skin tone, removes tan and uplifts your skin color. This face pack needs some fore hand preparation to make it work perfectly.
                 
                  Take some orange peels and let it dry  in sun for five days. Make it into a powder and store it into an air tight container. Take three spoons of this powder and mix it with three spoons of milk. Apply this paste to your face and wash it off with luke warm water. This pack keeps your skin glowing and tan free.

So that's it for today. Meet you in next post. Until then, take care:);)
