All in one skin solution mask!

Okay so this is a quick short post on a mask that i am using since the last two days! I was going out with my friends and obviously we were gonna click lots of photos.. I wanted to look my best, so i tried a BB cream for the first time in my life and by the evening time, my face was all dry and flaky!!! Ewwww, right? So for the next few days i kept applying olive oil to eliminate the dryness but it didn't work so great.. Then i remembered that i'd read something about yogurt and after my very first use my skin was less dry!! Second day all the flakiness was gone! :) ( this post is gonna be long :/ ) So, all u need is yogurt! Yogurt gently cleanses the pores and tighten them at the same time .. With regular use it cures acne, fades scars, makes skin soft and glowing etc. etc.. I was gonna test it on me for more days but couldn't wait to share this with you guys!!! All you need is YOGURT!

What to do: *put a generous amount of unflavoured yogurt to your face, wait for 25-30 minutes and rinse off with cold water.. *apply moisturizer (i used olive oil to heal my skin faster ) Sorry if there were any mistakes I am using my cell phone to write this n i hate using touch screen ones!!! My fingers tickle sooooo much, i hate it!! I am glad this article is over.. Hope u try this n please please leave a comment below n tell me if it worked for u! Night - night!! ^_^

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:

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... :)

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.
  • Run it under slightly WARM water
  • 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! J

(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!???

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!!!!

Use glycerin for soft, smooth and healthy skin!!!

Hey lovelies!! :)

So you must have heard the word ‘Glycerine’ many or at least few times from people around you.

And if you haven’t, no worries! I’ll let you know almost all about it! ;)

Glycerin is a humectant; it attracts moisture from the surrounding to your skin. This means that it holds moisture in the skin, making it an effective ingredient for skin care, particularly for dry skin.

Glycerin can be found in many skin care products, including facial lotion, crème, exfoliant and some makeup.

If you are living in extremely dry weather, pure glycerin can take out moisture from your skin if it does not find moist/ humidity in external environment. Hence whenever you want to use glycerin, just make sure you add few drops of filtered water/rose water so it can absorb.

Glycerin is:

MOISTURIZING

Glycerin is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs water from the air. Hence, it is a must if you have dry skin.

 

SMOOTHING

Glycerin fills in microscopic voids and cracks in the surface of dry skin. It makes your face appear smoother and healthier.

 

PROTECTING

Because glycerin helps retain moisture and fills in voids in dry skin, it helps protect the face by maintaining the integrity of the outermost layer of skin.  A study reported in the April 2001 "International Journal of Cosmetic Science" confirmed that glycerin has a beneficial effect on the skin barrier, keeping it hydrated.

 

EMULSIFYING

Glycerin is added to many products including facial creams to make them thicker and smoother so that they are easier to apply and feel more luxurious. Glycerin helps stabilize emulsions, mixtures of water and oil.

Here is how to use glycerin according to your skin type:

Dry skin:

  • STEAM:


Add 1 teaspoon of glycerin to 2 teaspoon of water. Apply it on your face, neck using cotton ball (including lips and upper & lower eyelashes) take steam for 5-7 minutes.

Wash your face with cold water.

  • Add to face pack:


If you are afraid to use face packs as it can dry your skin more, just add few drops of glycerin + water preferably rose water to face pack and then apply.

Keep for desirable time and wash out. (It does not let face pack dry completely and provides moisture)

  • Moisturizer:


Add few drops in your moisturizer cream and apply.

  • Homemade moisturizer:


Take 3 tbsp of glycerin with 3tbsp of rose water and store it in a clean bottle. Use it as a moisturizer whenever required for your face, hand and feet. You can alter the ratio according to your requirement

Oily skin:

  • Breakouts:


If you are facing problem of breakouts or acne clean your face with glycerin with some rose water added to it.

  • Moisturizer:


Take 3 tbsp of glycerin with 3tbsp of rose water add 1 lemon juice into the mixture and store it in a clean bottle. Use it as a moisturizer.

WARNING:

If you have severe pimples stay away from glycerin for your face because if it can hydrate your face, it can give moisture to your pimples as well.

  • If you still want to use it, apply it carefully avoiding pimples and take steam or just keep for 10-15 minutes then rinse well with cold water.


Normal skin:



  • This type of skin require very little hydration. So whenever you apply glycerin, keep it no more than 5 minutes.

  • Mix glycerin with water. Apply on your face and take steam for 3-5 minutes. Done! J


Tips and warnings:

  • This is only for HYDRATION.

  • It is not for any other purpose like skin whitening, lightning, tightening, acne, pimple, scar, white/black heads etc.

  • Always shake the lotion before applying as glycerin generally settles down at the bottom of the bottle.

  • Remember It can dry your skin by soaking all the moisture if it doesn’t find moisture in air i.e. IN Dry Weather.


So do add few drops of plain water or rose water to it before applying.
