Fine, let us come to the point. This post is specially dedicated to you sweet girls! Go ahead and read the effective ways to be beautiful 😀

1. Belief is the Key

Yes! The first thing you should do to ‘be or become’ beautiful is to believe that you’re beautiful. No one is ugly in this world. Everyone has their unique features, talent, voice and such. *(Are you skinny? Call yourself a model. Are you fat? You’re a bubbly beauty then 🙂 Is your skin too pale? You’re a vanilla ice cream and are you dark? You’re a dark chocolate.) No one is less compared to anyone in this world so once you believe that you have your unique beautify, you will automatically look beautiful from inside! You will get that confidence and shine as a star among your friends and family no matter how your appearance is. So grab your first key, the belief. There is no one in this world with the same lips, eyes and facial structure as yours isn’t it? You’re your original and beautiful copy 🙂 Appreciate yourself for being beautiful; spend 5 minutes in front of mirror everyday and tell yourself that you are beautiful to grow your confidence. This way, you can break all the inferior feelings those created by such idiot people (Jealous may be?) around you.

2. Health Matters a Lot in Beauty

Taking care of your inner health is double important when it comes to beautifying yourself. Let us have a test now. Get some high ended makeup products. Pick your most beautiful outfit and wear your favorite footwear, but on the day when you are SICK. How would you look? Beautiful? Not at all!. So concentrate more on improving your health and thus it will add beauty to your skin and face. To develop your health, as the first rule, drink 3 liters of water everyday. This process will regulate your blood circulation and flush out the toxins from your blood, resulting in super radiant skin. You need to try this to believe this. I have myself experienced with this water trick and found out great results on my skin. Eat lots of veggies, fruits, buts and greens everyday. And last but not the least, wear the most important beautifying ornament SMILE on your face. A happy smiling face wins lots of makeup products you know!

3. Add Some Style

Is your life boring? Don’t you feel bored with the same kind of look and appearance you maintain? Go for a hair cut and change your dressing style. I personally felt more confident about my appearance after getting my side bangs done. They are absolutely beautiful! You can also change your dressing style, apparels and such for a different look. Don’t always restrict and keep yourself inside a circle. Wear sunglasses, wear tank tops, skirts and grab that style! You will look and feel beautiful.

4. Take Care of Your Skin and Hair

I will list out some great working celebrity skin and hair care practices below which my beautician told me.

Skincare Musts to Become Beautiful

• Bath twice a day in lukewarm water.
• Say no to soaps; Go for soap free shower gels/body washes and face washes for face.
• Body lotion is compulsory after bath to moisturize body skin.
• Moisturizing face is a must even if you have oily skin.
• High SPF sunscreen is compulsory if stepping out of home (Even on winters)
• A weekend body scrub followed by hot oil massage does extra good to soften skin.
• Wash face twice a day with a gentle facial cleanser and two or more times with fresh plain water.
• Wash your feet with warm water and apply cold cream before going to bed every night.
• Ger a pedicure done at your home or parlor once in two weeks.

• Pay extra attention to dry knees and elbows while moisturizing.

Haircare Musts to Become Beautiful

• Rinse hair thrice a week if you’re a field worker and at least twice if you are a homemaker.
• You paraben free mild hair products; herbal ones are much better.
• Don’t comb wet hair and use a wide comb to detangle your hair.

5. Get Outfit/Makeup Suggestions from Your Friends

Discuss with your trustworthy friends about your outfits and makeup. Read carefully, they should be trustworthy. If you choose a wrong person to suggest you, they might mislead you in jealously lol 😛 Okay no jokes. Ask your friends whether you look good in a jean or kurta, or something like that. Always go for minimal makeup. This will not only look natural, but also neat and professional if you’re a working woman. Shift your glittery shimmery makeu products to your night /party makeup case. Choose the right shade of your foundation/concealer and always go for blushes and eyeshadow that would compliment your skin tone well. You should also be careful while choosing your skincare products depending on your skin type whether it is oily, dry, normal, combination or sensitive.

Hope you enjoyed the above ideas to be beautiful! Don’t stress much thinking about your appearance all the time. Just chill and enjoy your life 🙂 You’re always beautiful if you are happy and if you have good thoughts! Keep smiling beauties. Share your comments and feedback below!

Hello beauties! Next to the skin lighting remedies, this is the one which is most asked for in our reader queries section. Many of you asked me for under eye dark circle removing home remedies and some other asked for under eye dark circle removal cream suggestions. My mailbox is flooded with this same type of query. I have luckily got dark circle free eyes (Can’t judge about future! I am just 17 now) and hence I wasn’t able suggest you home remedies for dark circles before. But just specially for you all, I made a visit to my beautician’s house last week and discussed with her about the home remedies and other skincare ideas to control, prevent and cure dark circles fast other than the usage for dark circle removing creams. As one of our post named ‘Fair Skin in 30 days’ was made a huge hit by worldwide readers, I am here up with the next 30 days series. These remedies might work perfectly for you if you follow them in a right manner. Though genetic and health issues can also give you under eye dark circles and for that you MUST consult your physician rather than believing in cure from simple topical home remedies.

Three Must Follow Remedies to Cure Under Eye Dark Circles

• Get 8 hours of good night sleep. Read the previous line carefully, you need 8 hours of good NIGHT sleep. Hence untimely sleeping  is not going to help you even if you sleep for 8 or more hours. Regularize your sleeping habits as the first step. 

• Wash your eyes thrice a day with fresh water. This trick helps like a miracle in curing your bulged, dark, ugly looking under eye circles fast. Just simply splash some water over your eyes gently and that’s it. Once in the morning while bath, once in the evening after returning home from work and once before going to bed every night is a best routine.

• Soon after returning home from college or workplace, get some cold water in a bowl. Dip two cotton pads in the cold water, squeeze a bit and place it over your closed eyelids. Relax for 10-15 minutes and then continue your other work. This should be followed everyday in order to calm down stressed eyes.

Five DIY Home Remedies to Cure Under Eye Dark Circles

• This is a very common remedy but it really works if followed everyday without expecting overnight results. Squeeze juice from grated cucumber and apply it over your dark cirlces. Leave on for 10-20 minutes and and wash away. This can be followed daily for best results.

• Potato juice acts a natural bleaching agent to lighten the dark skin around your eyes. Hence apply potato juice over your dark circles twice a week but not everyday. This would gradually remove the darkness and yes, you can see visible results in under eye dark circles reduction within one month if followed with patience. 

• Drop pure rose water on your eyes before going to bed at night. This would calm down eyes and reduce the heat to prevent and fade dark circles caused due to excess heat.

• Banana peels can be cut into thin squares and stored in refrigerator to use as your anytime relaxing fruit eye pads. Just place the cold peel strips above your eyelids and voila! You’re ready to enjoy the super calming sensation which not only feels good but also helps a lot with the healing of your under eye circles problem.

• Last but not the least, this is the very important step that you should follow regularly to reduce dark circles in 30 days. Grind almonds to smooth powder and add milk to this powder to make a smooth eye mask. Apply this over your eyelids and below your eyes. Leave on for 10-15 minutes and rinse. This should be followed at least once every week to ensure the fast removal of darkness around your eyes. My beautician highly recommend this DIY dark cirlce removing eye pack.

Just don’t blame the summer alone; even this monsoon weather is giving us lots of trouble. I expected my skin to act normal after Mr.Summer took leave but it turned even more worse unexpectedly. I am enjoying monsoon with rains and spicy hot cuisines. I am loving the cool breeze but my skin? my T zone? It is getting more oilier than it was in summer. This irregular climate is giving my skin zits, breakouts and such due to excessive skin greasiness. So what to do naturally when your facial skin turns excessively oily and greasy? How to say goodbye to those pimple breakouts, zits and blackheads? We cannot always put on store bought products on our face isn’t it? So sip a coffee and note down these natural oily skin curing ideas to prevent and control that oily sheen on your facial skin, especially on your T zone.

Proper Face Washing Routine

Wash your face compulsorily for twice a day if you have oily facial skin. Use a good oil clearing face wash which is gentle, preferably herbal and clears out the excess oil from your skin. Remember, the face wash you are choosing shouldn’t be over drying on your skin as it might end up in giving you premature wrinkles and stretchy skin. I highly recommend Himalaya Herbals Oil Control Lemon Face Wash for moderate-oily skin and Clean and Clear Foaming Facial Wash for extra oily skin. Not just these two times, wash your face 2-3 more times but this time only with WATER and not your face wash. So totally, you are going to wash your face twice with a good oil clearing face wash and 2-3 times with plain cold water. This is the first step which cures 90% of your oily facial skin problem.

Scrub Twice A Week

Oily skin usually attracts more dust, dirt and other impurities from the environment. These impurities settle down and forms as a layer on the surface of your facial skin. To remove this dirt layer, one surely needs exfoliation. Oily skin types can exfoliate their facial skin twice a week to get rid of dead skin cells, dirt and other impurities. Go for a good branded oil clearing scrub or make your own at home. Simply grind 2 teaspoons of oats coarsely. Combine it with some fresh Aloe gel. Your 2 minute oily skin scrub is all ready to use!

Oil Balancing Pack After Scrub

Soon after scrubbing your face, when your pores are open, you can layer your face with a calming face pack. On the other hand, this should be an oil balancing face pack too which would control excess sebum production. Use a good branded mud based face pack after scrubbing to tighten your skin and control excess oiliness. Alternatively you can use the mixture of besan and buttermilk as your natural oil balancing face pack.

Toner & Moisturizer

After washing your face, don’t skip toner anytime if you have oily skin. Tone your skin with a green tea or rose water toner and moisturizer your skin with a water-based moisturizer. It doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t moisture if you have oily skin. All skin types need moisturization; so go and pick a water-based, light moisturizer.

Note: Don’t worry all the time for having extra oily skin. There is a sweet news for you oily skinned damsels. Oily skin ages slower when compared to the dry ones! So chill. Follow these above ideas, prevent excess oiliness and enjoy showing your beautiful oil-free face to the word.
