DIY Turmeric Milk Drink Recipe : The One Shot Fix to My Pimples!

O my God! I have a date tomorrow and what is that? Don’t tell me.. a zit! So what options do I have? Neem face pack? Ummm done! Sandalwood powder? Still to get hold of original sandalwood powder which doesn’t burn a hole in my pocket! Multani mitti? Doesn’t seem like working for me anymore! Regular cleanups? Not at all comfortable with anyone messing up with my face!!

So if you are an oily skinned girl like me who gazes at the mirror a zillion times just to check that nasty pimple along her jaw line which has popped out of nowhere, you can probably relate to all that I have stated above!

I am an Ayurvedic student with a strong belief staunchly embedded in my head that the solution to every problem lays inside us! The cleaner our bodies are from inside, the better it appears on the outside. With toxins inside your material body, no matter how many fancy named cosmetics you apply on your face, the effect is not going to show up!

Keeping all this in mind, today, I have come up with a DIY drink which has helped me in combating my pimples and their marks and at the same time, adding a glow to the face without off course creating a huge hole in my tiny college-student sized pocket!

So, for today’s DIY, our hero is ‘turmeric’ or ‘haldi’ which forms an indispensable part of our Indian cuisine, holds a very special place in every ritual and not to forget, holds an irreplaceable position in our beloved DIYs!

Let’s get started!

DIY Lemon Ice Cube Toner – Recipe, Step by Step Photos

Hello everyone!

Hope you’re doing good! For me, toner is one of the skin care products that really helps my skin stay fresh and pore-free! There are different types/variants of toners available in the market but they contain chemicals. (Few contain even alcohol!) In no way I’m asking you to stop using the store-bought toners but it’s just I’ve found a better alternative that is homemade and chemical free!

Today I’m sharing with you my very favorite lemon toner cube recipe that I use often in my skin care routine! (I hope you liked my DIY carom seeds kajal recipe that I’d shared earlier!) It has a lot of beauty benefits other than just being a toner. Moreover, it is inexpensive and very easy to make.

Do read below for the detailed instructions + my experience with this homemade toner!

How to Make Kajal at Home Using Carom Seeds? : Step by Step Tutorial, Photos & Usage Instructions

Hello lovely ladies!

It is rightly said by someone that ‘eyes are a mirror of the soul’ and I truly believe in it! Women are better at reading non-verbal communication than men and eyes speak a lot about a person. I am not being impartial here just sharing my observation and it is confirmed by the body language experts too.

Today, I am going to share an ancient recipe for your beautiful eyes i.e Kajal or Surma. It has been used since ages to beautify the eyes and keep them healthy too. Indian mothers have been using it for their newborn baby or toddlers as a protection against the evil eye.

This is one of the interesting DIY recipes that I make at home! Let me share my procedure with you.
