10 random beauty tips you should know!

  • When you wake up in the morning always splash your face with cold water to increase blood flow.

 Image

  • If your skin is drying out and is flaky apply plain yogurt to face and wash off after 20 or 30 minutes.

Image

  • Scrub your lips at least twice a week. you can check out my previous post for super easy home made multi use scrubs.

  • Scrubbing  your face twice a week and body once a week or in 10 days will help skin absorb products and masks better.

  • Apply lotion or moisturizer while your face and body is still damp with water or toner. This will help skin absorb it better.

  • Pat sunscreen or sunblock while application to ensure that it's evenly spread and absorbed.

  • At least 1/2 a teaspoon of sunscreen should be applied to face for proper protection.

  • Never rub eyes harshly and don't put much pressure while doing eye makeup. This will damage the eye area as it's very sensitive and may cause wrinkles.

  • Dip your nails in vinegar for few minutes to ensure that your nail color stays on for longer time.

  • If you are looking for a natural makeup remover then olive oil is the answer.

Review: Himalya purifying neem face wash..

Today i am going to write a review of my absolute favorite face wash by The Himalya drug company.

Image

PRICE: Rs. 50 (indian rupees)

I have been using this face wash from the past few weeks and I LOVE IT! :)

What the product says:

Image

I don't have severe acne but my friend does.

She used this for a month and her acne/pimples started disappearing, so if you have acne and are looking for a mild cleanser this could help(oh, my friend has oily skin)

Pros:

  • It is soap free, so it's not harsh on your skin

  • It gently removes impurities and prevents pimples

  • It is anti-bacterial as it has neem

  • Made of natural ingrediants

  • Reasonably priced

  • Doesn't dry out skin(I have dry combination skin)

  • Good for acne/pimles

  • Mild on the skin


Cons:

Me and my friend couldn't find any! :)

I would rate this product 5/5 and would definitely recommend this to anyone.

I hope you found this helpful.

My next post will be a DIY lip scrub.

See you next time.

Byeee... :)

Cancelling a party because of Bad Hair Day!? Super Girl is here to save you! ;) (With pictures)

So, you have to go to a party today but you won’t because you are having a bad hair day!

Plus you can’t even afford to go to a salon??

Sounds like a bad situation, eh?

Well ladies, here I am, Super Girl, to save you!! ;)

All you need is:

ü  Shampoo

ü  Any decent conditioner

ü  Any hair serum

[If you don’t have a conditioner or a serum AVOID that step. But you are going to need either of the two.]

(If you don’t know which serum to buy, you can use streaxpro hair serum. Details and photos are posted at the end)

Hair serum’s are like a magic potion for Girls.

They make your hair manageable, shinier and smoother without damaging your hair unlike your styling products!

It’s a win-win for your hair. ;)

Here is what to do:

Step 1:  Wash your hair with any mild shampoo once.

Image

Step 2:  Apply conditioner to damp hair.

Image

Step 3:  Wait for minimum two minutes and maximum 5.

Step 4:  Wash your hair thoroughly with cold water (Not ice cold, as cold as you can take but  definitely not hot water).

Image

Step 5: Let your hair dry naturally or blow dry them at medium heat ONLY if you are in a hurry!

Now once your hair is dry you take a small drop of serum and rub in between your palms of both hands.

Step 6: Gently apply this to the middle shaft and the ends of your hair.(from where my hand is to the end)

Image

Step 7: Now run your palms through all your hair

Step 8: done! Brush your hair and go enjoy the party!

TIPS AND WARNINGS:

  • You can even apply serum to damp hair, same quantity and same method.

  • Do NOT apply a lot or your hair will look greasy.

  • To be on a safer side, start with a small drop of serum.

  • IF YOU HAVE ALREADY WASHED YOUR HAIR ONE DAY BEFORE, and your hair aren't very greasy


Just follow Step 6, 7 and 8.

  • Though regular use of serum has not shown any side effects or damage to hair,


but serums consist of silicone which is said to be harmful if used for a long period of time.

StreaxPro hair serum:

Price: 160 Indian rupees

NOTE: I am NOT being paid to promote this product. I am suggesting you this product because I used it and liked the results.

See you next time!

Taa-daah!! ^-^

Oats have been clinically proven to help dry or itchy skin!

 

Here is how I use oats:

As a Cleanser or face wash  or exfoliator:

  • Take palm full of oats and clutch them into a fist.

Image

 

  • Run it under slightly WARM water

Image

 

  • Drain the excess water after the oats are saturated and use this water to wet your face.

(This will make your face soft)

  • Start rubbing your face  with this gooey mixture
  • Keep rubbing this for Full one minute
  • Wash off with Cold water to close pores for smooth and glowing skin!

(THIS WILL EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN AT THE SAME TIME, you don’t need anything else)

 

As a face mask:

 

  • All you need is one extra step to turn it into a mask!
  • Just leave it on for another 5-7 minutes after scrubbing it on your face
  • Wash off with cold water to close the pores of your skin.
  • DONE! 

 

 

I guarantee you softer skin right after your first use!

If you use this regularly your skin will be glowing in no time!

This will also make your skin brighter and improve your complexion!!
And it’s safe to use daily as it’s a gentle exfoliant!!!!

 

So what are you waiting for!???

Its cheap and the most effective recipe for your skin!

Go buy a pack of oats today and start using this without any doubts!! ^-^

 

AND do tell me if you tried it and how were the results!!!!

 

Oh, and you can use this on your whole body in place of a body scrub and your whole body will be soft and glowing!

 

Another way to use this is soak oats in your bath tub until the water turns whiteand now its ready to be sunk in!
