Milk and Lemon for Glowing Skin

Take 1 cup milk and squeeze medium size lemon in it. When milk gets curdled (fatna), apply it on your face and body. Massage this mixture in circular motion with the help of your finger tips covering your face and body. Take bath after the massaging. This will soften your skin and adds glow to it.

Yoghurt and Egg Hair Conditioner


We woman try many market hair conditioner to get those soft hair and shiny hair.They do help but with them our hair needs extra conditioning too .Below hair conditioner promises shiny and soft hair after using it for the first time.It is quiet easy to make this conditioner and in fact I always enjoy making it.All ingredients of this conditioner are pretty much available in the market at minimal cost.
To start with it take half cup yoghurt or depending upon your hair length you can increase or decrease the quantity.Yoghurt is a gentle cleanser which was used by women in olden days to clean their hair.Its creamy texture clears the pored of the scalp and helps in promoting hair growth.It is high in lactic acid which add shine to our hair and make them smooth too.It is always easy to comb our hair after using yoghurt on our hair.
Add a raw egg and pour it into the yoghurt.Eggs helps in strengthening the root of the hair and helps in repairing damaged hair.Eggs also helps in premature hair loss and will makes hair silky.
 Cut one banana into pieces and add them with yoghurt and egg.Banana provides moisture to the hair and gives a protective layer to them.Banana is great for those who have damaged hair.Banana naturally builds its own moisture level and helps in curing dry flaky scalp.
 Add 1tbsp of lemon juice into the mixture.We all know benefits of lemon, it is a natural astringent which helps in cleaning the hair.Lemon always helps when it is diluted .Applying lemon directly into hair may bleach the hair therefore using it this way helps in reaping benefits of lemon without damaging or drying your hair.
Add 1tsp of vitamin E oil.I used one capsule of vitamin E  as my hair are not that dry.Dry hair people can add 1tsp of olive or vitamin E oil.Those who have oily hair can avoid adding any oil in it or if they have  tea tree oil then it will be great if they add it into the mixture.
Put all the ingredients into a mixer grinder and blend all the ingredients.Shampoo your hair first and massage this mixture gently into your scalp.Let the mixture set for 15-20 minutes and wash it off with lukewarm water.You can use this hair conditioner as often as you want to make your hair shiny , soft and lustrous.

INVEST IN A GOOD SKINCARE PRODUCT FOR A BEAUTIFUL FACE

Aging of a skin is inevitable, but can definitely be delayed !!!

We need to invest in a good skin care products to keep our skin and face from delaying the aging and keeping it as young as possible.

Simple Fair & Lovely's is not sufficient.
May be Fair & Lovely is sufficient if we use our home remedies/facials like Papaya, Cream of Milk, Honey, Milk etc... are used diligently daily/weekly along with a healthy nutrition and plenty of drinking water.

But if we are one of those busy professionals and busy parents, invest in good products.

I always advertise on what I use...Clinique's 3-step Skin Care system for a cleanest, freshest and healthiest version of your skin --> CLEANSING, EXFOLIATE and MOISTURISE.

I have started to use the Superdefense SPF 25 Age Defense Moisturizer recently and I feel pretty good.

You can use any of the good brands available: Clinique, Lancome, Oil of Olay...your choice...but select a good one and use it forever

Hope you make a good choice to take care of your skin!!!
