Beauty Tips for Skin and Hair:
Tuesday, January 10, 2017
Could your skin be more clear and smoother
than it is? Could your hair be any silkier, stronger and voluminous? All of
this without having to spend thousands of rupees are your next-door salon? Yes,
absolutely! I come across hundreds of young women looking for desperate
solutions to their skin and hair problems and expecting me to
wave my magic wand and tackle their issues overnight and transform them. I
would love to oblige but the truth is that nature doesn't bloom overnight. The
smallest seed of a plant also needs to be planted, nurtured and cared for
before it can blossom and show its magnificence.
1. For dull, oily and combination skin:
Massage the skin with
iced yoghurt and sprinkle some sugar along with it. Now take orange halves and scrub gently until the granules melt. Wash
the face with iced water and see the difference.
2. For dull, tired and dry skin:
Massage the skin with
papaya. Then make a scrub by mixing oats and
honey along with a little cold milk and scrub the skin. Wash off with ice cold
milk and water and pat dry.
3. Suffering from frizzy hair:
Try this simple, quick and easy-to-make spray.
Take slices of two lemon and simmer in two cups of water until it reduces to
half the amount. Pour the liquid into a spritz bottle and spray on your hair.
Not only will there be a wonderful natural sheen but static and fly away hair will be gone.
4.For natural hair colour:
If you have a brownish tinge in your hair and
don't have the time to henna or colour it, then take a few sprigs of rosemary
from the kitchen shelf and simmer them in 2 cups of water along with 2 tsp
black tea until it reduces to half the quantity. Mix with 1/4cup of shampoo and every time you shampoo, use this mixture.
Leave the shampoo in your hair for about 15 minutes and see the difference it
makes.
5. For a smooth back:
Planning to wear a low back blouse, backless
dress or choli, but have no time to go in for a body scrub to show off a
smooth back? Here's a quick home remedy. Take 1 cup of sea salt and mix it with
half a cup of olive oil. Add 5 drops of sandalwood oil and mix well. Store in a
jar and scrub the areas of your body
you want to flaunt. Wipe off with a wet towel.
6. Dealing with under
eye bags and dark circles:
Take used chamomile tea bags and store them in
the freezer. Grate half a cucumber and massage around eye
area and then lie down with the tea bags on your eyes for 10 minutes.You will
find an instant difference in the way your eyes look and feel.
7. Instant face lift:
Wash your face with ice water or simply rub
and ice cube with a tsp of honey on the face. Beat an
egg white until it peaks and brush onto your skin and let dry. You will feel
the stretch in the skin. wash face with icy cold water.
8. Tired eyes:
Long hours at work, then shopping and getting
things organized for the festive season can be tiring. I would suggest you make
this wonderful eye wash which will make you
feel refreshed instantly. Take iced spring water in a bowl and add a few drops
of rose water, 2-3 drops of honey and immerse one eye into it. You can also
open your eye a little and then close it. Throw away the liquid and make the
same water for the other eye and repeat the process. After this, splash the
eyes with cold mineral water. There maybe slight redness for some time but it
will go away soon and your eyes will feel refreshed in minutes.
