DIY Almond Face Mask – Removes Deep Tan, Blemishes and Firms Skin

6 Replies

There are few face masks that I swear by and I use it often, probably not on a regular basis but I know that it will for sure help me in certain situations. One such face mask is this almond, honey and milk face mask. I started experimenting with almonds on skin as I do not like to eat nuts much.

I think it was during one of the Diwali times, that I received a hell lot of almonds as gift and I did not know what to do with it. So I tried to incorporate them in my regular face packs. So at the end of many permutations and combinations with a lot of face packs, I ended up with this one, which is my favorite face mask of all times. 3 ingredients and hell lot of benefits giving amazing results on the skin. You need to use it to believe it!

DIY Face Pack to Prevent Acne, Reduce Scars & Brighten Skin in ONE Month

Time flies by so quickly! That is exactly what I felt as I was flipping through my old photo albums a few days ago. To a great many of you, photo albums might be a thing of the past. Right? Mobile phones, sorry SMART phones with cameras have long replaced photo albums. Well I am not whining but somewhere the charm and innocence that that era of 90s had where watching photos in family get-togethers was a grand affair itself coupled with a piping hot cup of tea and light banter, is missing today.

Anyway, while going through one such album of mine, I saw my childhood pictures. The first thing that exploded in my mind was to set “some” of those hideous photos to fire but I resisted the temptation for they reminded me of how I can look hideous and pose like a diva back in childhood unlike these days when a minor flaw must be concealed to look picture – perfect!

Oh nostalgia! Finally, I came across one picture of mine which was taken immediately after I recovered from a degenerative bout of what might be the top cause of me locking myself in my room today. Without further ado, let me confess it was ACNE!

Apart from the routine medication and mom’s unstinted efforts to rid me off it, I remember my maternal grandmother’s “gharelu nuskha” (home remedy) to rid me off its scars.  And thanks to mom’s and granny’s efforts, I recovered well. So, I thought of penning the same remedy for you all.

DIY Heat Protectant Hair Spray : Tutorial and Photos

21 Replies

Hi Girls!

I was gifted a hair tools range from my friends for my birthday (yay!). Since then I could not stop straightening and curling my hair. It has almost become a part of my hair routine. After a month or so I noticed my hair lacked that lustrous shine I used to have and I developed split ends! (sob sob).

Then I decided to ask my hair stylist what can I do to get my shine and healthy growth back without stopping the usage of my straightener and curler. She suggested me to use the heat protectant spray. I went to a store and bought a heat protectant spray that was way too costly and did not do a thing to protect my hair from the heat.

So I researched online and found out that heat protectant sprays are the products used to lock in the moisture of your hair and provide you with an extra buffer of moisturisation . And then I thought to myself there is no point wasting money on these salon formulations. I decided to make one myself and here is what I came up with!
