Homemade Suntan Remover with Curd

Curd is one of the best natural skincare product which is available in every kitchen. It contains lots of Zinc, calcium, Vitamin B and protein. Zinc is known to be an excellent remedy for acne while calcium helps in skin renewal and cell repair. Vitamin B and protein protects skin from aging and gives an healthy glow. Curd naturally whitens the skin. From my childhood, I have seen my aunt using curd every evening after she reaches home from her work. I wondered why she uses it and got a wonderful answer.

Curd has lots of special and natural qualities which removes SUNTAN. In India and some other countries, majority of the people both men and women are tired of using creams and lotions to whiten their skin, getting no results at all. The truth is that no fairness cream can make you magically white. Chemical bleaches just peels off the natural skin layer with regular use and surely it wont give an healthy complexion. No one can change their original born skin colour naturally. Artificial methods spoils the beauty of your skin. But still, you can use several natural and herbal remedies which helps your skin to get rid of the long time suntan which forms a dark layer on the surface of your skin. Tan free smooth and soft skin looks bright and beautiful than white skin! Let me list useful tan removing face packs with curd for dry and oily skinned people!

Skin Benefits of Ponds Moisturizing cold cream

1. Gentle Makeup Remover

Yes! We can also use this product as a gentle makeup remover which mildly removes all the makeup without leaving any residue and also leaves skin fresh and moisturized. It removes even waterproof eye liner, mascara and eye shadows. It perfectly removes any kind of foundation and blushers. After we reach home in the evening, we always feel lazy to remove the makeup and wash our face, then moisturize. No need to worry! Just take a little amount of ponds cold cream and apply it gently over your face, neck and the areas around eyes. Leave it for 2 minutes and gently wipe off with a soft cotton cloth. This process not only removes your makeup and dirt, it also leaves your skin soft, clean and nourished.

2. Foot Softener (Prevents and cures cracks)

Every night I wash my feet and massage it with this smooth cold cream. This makes my feet soft and beautiful. This process also nourishes my feet nails and avoids breakage. I recommend everyone to nourish your feet with this cream every night and also after your pedicure. You would be amazed to see your soft and beautiful looking feet every morning if you use ponds cold cream every night!

3.Dry skin winter body lotion

In winter, our body skin is dry and rough due to the lose of moisture. Even my skin feels tight and dry, especially after every bath. I started using this cold cream as a body skin nourishing cream and it gives excellent results. It made my skin baby soft and smooth. I felt that this cream is little bit greasy, so I mixed up little rose water to it and used as a body lotion and also used over my face! I recommend everyone to try this. It smells pleasant, moisturizes your skin and gives you a fresh feel.

Before Applying Ponds Moisturizing Cold Cream

After Applying Ponds Moisturizing Cold Cream

As you see in the above pictures, this cream made my skin feel and look much greasy. (I added few drops of rose water to it to thin the consistency and avoid greasy feel). So, this product might not suit very oily skinned people. So remember oily skinned people “You should not use it over your facial skin”. But you can surely use this as a winter body lotion to prevent dryness. It’s my best moisturizer ever!

PROS

Very effectively moisturizes skin which even moisturizers extremely dry skin well.
Affordable for good worth
Acts as a multipurpose cream which can be used as a makeup remover, moisturizer and Cracked foot cream.
Can be used as an excellent skin cleanser. It cleanses out dirt and impurities well.
Gives an healthy complexion with regular use.
Easy to carry and easily available in supermarkets and shops.
Makes skin baby soft with regular usage.

CONS

Skin feels really greasy if applied even a bit much. Not suitable for oily skins. I think the product can’t be used in winter except the dry skinned people.
The product comes in a jar and hence you should put your hands into it every time you use it. This may be clumsy and also makes cream messy if your hands are unclean.

I really cannot find anymore cons in it! It’s such a wonderful product and I love it. It’s my best winter friend which protects and nourishes my skin. I recommend everyone to take a try!

My Rating : 4.5/5 (.5 minus for the greasy feel and jar package)

DRY LIPS

The very first problem we all face in winter is chapped lips 🙁 🙁 we gets our lips dry all the time in winter, it may even bleed for few people. We need to continuously moisturize our lips to prevent them from drying and chapping. A few natural products and Vaseline can help this! You can simply carry the Vaseline petroleum jelly in your handbag and apply it on your lips whenever you feel dry. You can also mix Vitamin E oil with Vaseline, boil this mixture and cool it down to use this as a nourishing homemade lip balm.

WEAK NAILS

Weakness and dryness causes breakage of nails. This spoils the nail growth. You can simply take some amount of Vaseline and massage your finger and leg nails with this to prevent nails from chapping. This massage also improves blood circulation and promotes healthy strong nail growth. For better results do Vaseline nail massage every night before going to bed.

CRACKED FEET

Cracked feet looks really ugly and horrible. This is mainly caused because of improper maintenance of your feet, even in winter. Wash your feet and apply Vaseline every night to prevent cracking. To cure the cracks which you already have, do a home pedicure with loofah pad or scrubber and then moisturize your feet with Vaseline. It is recommend to nourish and moisturize feet with Vaseline after every pedicure.
