Miracle Homemade Face Pack to Remove Sun Tan

Hi everyone,

I am back with another DIY article after a long time. Before starting the DIY let me tell you something about my skin, my skin is not that sensitive but it gets tanned extremely easily and fast, even after using sunscreen lotion (prescribed by my dermatologist).

So, a tan removing pack is must have for me. I have tried almost every cream available in the market for removing tan 😛 some of them work, some do not. As I am a student I keep looking for inexpensive yet effective solutions for my skin and here problems, I made this pack few months back on my mother’s suggestion and using it on regular basis, keep reading to know my experience with this pack.

Name of the pack: Miracle pack

Ingredients list:

Curd (home made sour curd prepared from skimmed milk. I have combination skin that’s why I use fat free curd. If you have extremely dry skin then use whole milk)
Milk powder
Honey (optional)
Refined flour (maida/aata )
Tomato pulp
Bowl
Spoon

Preparation and Usage:

1. Take 1 tablespoon (10 gm) curd in a bowl, add 1 teaspoon (5 gm)milk powder, 1 table spoon tomato juice, 1 teaspoon maida/aata, 1/2 teaspoon honey one by one (if you have extremely oily skin then you can skip honey)

2. Mix well, apply on face, neck, feet,hand or wherever you want. 😛 Keep this pack for 20-25 minutes (it takes time to get dry), and wipe this off with sponge or wet cloth.

3. Apply moisturizer. I don’t use any moisturizer as this pack is moisturizing enough for my combination skin.

Few Things to Remember:

Try to use this pack at night, as it has tomato which is acidic in nature might make your skin photo sensitive.
If you are using this in day time, don’t forget to apply sunscreen.
Avoid this pack if you are allergic to any if the ingredient.

PROS of this Face Pack:

Adds instant glow to the skin.

Honey is antibacterial in natures; it keeps pimples at a bay.
Curd is rich in vitamin which is good for our stomach as well as our skin.
Maida exfoliate the dead cells.
All ingredients are easily available.

This pack is going to suit almost every skin (unless you have extremely sensitive skin/oily skin, please do a patch test before trying this on face).

Cons of this Face Pack:

It takes some time to get dry.

Apart from this I can’t think of any other con.

I recommend this face pack to everyone who is suffering from tanned dull rough lifeless skin. Do try this pack and let me know your experience. Thank you for reading! Love you all :-*

How to Combat Body Odor?: Simple Home Remedies

Underarms are the hiding place for bacteria, and as we sweat, they feed on that. This reaction causes unpleasant smell. And sometimes, it gives us embarrassing moments in front of other people. The important thing is to know the cause and the remedy of this problem.

Cause: Bacteria breaking down the proteins to acids are the main cause of this unpleasant smell. We believe in a myth that sweats are smelly. But, the truth is, sweat have no smell, it is the bacteria that are doing the actions which leads to bad smell. Sometimes, eating too much food with strong smell can also be the cause of it. Unhygienic conditions or living and even excitement or anxiety also results in sweat.

Remedy: Wash your whole body with anti-bacterial soap at least three times a week. This will help to clear out the bacteria hiding in there.

Every day, wash your underarms with a washcloth or with plain water by rubbing your underarm area with your palm gently. Do not use soap every day, as they will make you sweat more and attract bacteria.

Change your cloths at least two times a day. It would be better if you take shower twice.(especially in summer days)

After shower, always wear clean clothes.

To control severe sweating, sprinkle some cornstarch on your underarms before putting on your clothes. This will keep your underarms sweat free and fresh for a long time.

Use Aluminum Chloride to prevent bad smell. Some anti-perspiration roll-ons contain this, use it daily before going out to get rid of the bad smell.

Wear body spray only if you have nothing else. Spray it on your underarm (from 1 inch away), not on your dress. The idea of this spray is to block the pores and if there are bacteria, they will die by clogging the pores. Hence, no bad smell.

Apply lime juice on the underarm area and let dry before putting on clothes. Lime juice is mainly acid which will eliminate the bacteria and the smell also. Do not apply lime juice if you have shaved or waxed your underarm on that day.

Shave your underarms daily, or wax it every week. The more hair, the more you will sweat. And to cut off bad smell, you will need to cut off sweating.

Use Listerine to kill bacteria. Dab a ball of cotton soaked in Listerine on your underarms. This will kill all the bacteria down there also eliminate bad smell for a whole day. Listerine is used for killing the germs inside our mouth, the same reaction happens if applied on underarms.

After taking bathe, apply apple cider vinegar on your underarms to get rid of bad smell.

Keep your mind cool and calm. Excitement, anger and anxiety makes you sweat. Stay calm and stay relaxed.

Never use talcum powder on your underarms. They clog pores in such a way that discolors your underarms and also it will feed the bacteria.

If you are a working girl, keep wet wipes in your handbag and in lunch time, wipe your underarms with wet wipes to get rid of bad smell. It will leave a refreshing smell.

Cut down spicy curry dishes and too much garlic and onion eating. They produce bad and strong odor.

Bad underarm smell can affect your personality and stylish appearance. So, with these simple tips, stay odor-less for long hours.

Stay refreshing and live with confidence.

Fabindia Aloe Vera Protein Conditioner Review

Hi there!!

Today I am reviewing Fabindia’s Aloe Vera Protein Conditioner. I was actually looking for an avocado conditioner to match with my Fabindia avocado shampoo. As I couldn’t find it, I opted for this aloe vera conditioner. Aloe vera is such a magical plant that works wonder for skin and hair. I have normal wavy hair and right now its dandruff free. So, without much thoughts I picked this conditioner. Scroll further to know my experience on this conditioner.

Price and Quantity:

Rs.250 for 250 ml(247 g)

Product Description:

A mild everyday use conditioner, containing aloe vera extract and Vitamin E acetate that hydrate and soften the hair. It restores the natural moisture balance giving the hair a healthy sheen.

Ingredients:

Purified Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Behentrimonium Chloride, Dimethicone, Guar Gum, Aloe Vera Extract, Di-Panthenol, Methylchloroisothazolinone, Fragrance, Citric Acid, Vitamin E Acetate.

Shelf Life:

36 months from date of manufacture

Directions for use:

Wet hair and shampoo.Apply conditioner gently smoothing it over hair. Leave on for 2-3 minutes. Rinse off thoroughly. Patch test recommended before use. For external use only. Store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. Natural ingredients may cloud or separate this does not affect the quality or efficiency of the product. Fabindia is against animal testing.

My Take on the Product:

The conditioner comes in a simple white sleek bottle with a press button on the cap. Personally I feel the press button is better than the flip cap as flip cap might break easily or chip your nails. The conditioner is white coloured with a glossy finish. Though the bottle is strong, I doubt it would be difficult to carry during travel. The conditioner comes in standard size, I have not seen small or big bottle online.

The consistency is not very thick neither runny. I quite like it and its easier to spread on hair. I mainly focus on the lower end of hair as your root and hair near scalp doesn’t need conditioning.

After leaving it for couple of minutes, I washed it and to my surprise it was easier to rinse it off. Unlike Dove conditioners where you need tons of water to get rid of the product, this is easy to wash away. After towel drying I didn’t use any product to check the quality of my conditioner. My hair was much smoother and tangle free. The conditioner smell lingers on my hair for a day.This product very well serves the purpose of using a conditioner. Overall its a nice conditioner and I would stick to this for a longer time.

Why I like this Conditioner?:
