Bathing we all take for personal hygiene and to keep us fresh. A beauty bath is different. Beauty bath for beautiful skin- yes it is possible. A luxury bath at home not only gives extra beauty to the whole body it also provides a refreshing mind. So bathing becomes an amazing experience.

How to move from a normal bath to a luxurious bath?
Good question. First you make your mood to get a luxurious bath than a normal bath. May be on a weekend afternoon you can find time for it.

Beauty steps of a beauty bath for a beautiful skin:
  1. A light oiling to the whole body
  2. A sandal body pack for rejuvenation
  3. A natural body scrub for exfoliation and cleansing
  4. A refreshing warm bath in rose petals

Step 1. You can use any oil of your choice. Olive oil or coconut oil or almond oil. If you are using any particular oil select that oil. My personal choice is almond oil. Give a light oiling only, because a thorough body oil massage is not our goal now. Give a ten min. time for oil to get into the skin.

Step 2. Sandalwood powder-papaya pack. Mash a few pieces of ripe papaya in a mixer. Get this paste in a bowl. Add one tsp. of white sandalwood powder and mix well to get a smooth paste. Apply this sandal body pack all over body. Wait for 10-15 min.

Step 3. We need 5 tsp. green gram flour. Add a little water to get a thick mix. Use this mix to rub your body. Give a gentle rub. This will remove dead cells and cleanse the excess oil from body.

Step 3. Refreshing warm bath. Fill the bath tub with warm water, not hot water. Add few rose petals to this bathing water and wait for 5 min. Or instead of rose petals, use lemon and orange peels. For that boil these peels in a cup of water and pour into the bathing water. Adding neem leaves is also a good choice. Or you can use few drops of rose oil or sandal oil. Take a luxurious bath. Feel the amusing moment giving by this beauty bath for beautiful skin.

Effectiveness of home beauty tips

Effectiveness of homemade beauty tips

How effective are the homemade natural beauty tips? Sometimes some of you may have this question in your mind. Good. You should know how effective these homemade beauty tips are. What is the difference between other store bought products. Is there any side effects of using these tips.

In my experience the results of homemade beauty tips vary in different persons. Just like some food items may not be suitable for some type of body or person. Similarly the natural packs or masks will give different levels of results. Some items in certain skins should be applied in a specific way. For example hibiscus shampoo. It is 100% natural and we all know it is human friendly plant. But in certain type of hair it will give dry hair. Why? What to do to avoid such condition. Just change the way to applying hibiscus shampoo. Those who have extreme dry hair or those who have very thin hair, apply a little oil on hair and then apply hibiscus shampoo. In this case do not rub very much. Just applying hibiscus as a pack is more result giving technique. And also to get a significant result you must apply in particular intervals. Some hair it requires only a weekly application. In some other type of hair you need daily application for first few days and then a weekly application will do. Then how you know this prior to the application of such homemade methods. An experienced natural homeamde beautician can guide you after studying your skin type or hair type. But it still requires a trial to get the exact methods. Nothing to worry. First of all you must be patient to try it out and test it. Try varriuos methods and find out your own way of applying the packs or doing homeamde facials etc. No harm in trying.

When you apply an acne pack sometimes that will make your skin dry. That is natural. At that time apply it on the acne area only. If it makes your face dry apply some moisturizer after few days. Similarly all the homemade beauty tips have its own specialties. Some people after applying few times they will discard trying it. The main thing to remember is the result may be delayed and a specific visible results can be get after consistent application. Because it does not contain any instant chemicals or such things. Naturally it will become effective gradually.

Other doubt comes in your mind is about side effects. I cannot claim that there is no side effects in using these natural homemade beauty tips. If we eat improper food in a wrong time or situation it may cause problems. Similarly these tips may cause some irritation or discomfort in some cases. But it won't be fatal or harmful.

In my posts I used to give some promises based on my experience. That may include my own experience and sometimes I get experience from my clients. And it all from Indian type of skin or hair. The result of some specific tips may not be that much effective in other areas of world. Still there are enormous reports getting about the best results from all parts of the world. In these homemade beauty tips mostly we re using fruits or vegetables. It is tested as a food. In another post about precautions using homemade beauty tips I explained how you should take a basic care.

If you have any specific skin conditions or skin problems please consult your family doctor before using any homemade tips. I always used to tell in this case just apply the tips on the inner wrist and see there is no irritation or allergy.

These are all my simple thoughts for today that may benefit to you. Good day.

Lotus Fairness Face Pack

Good morning friends. After a week's break I am here again in front of you. Last week I visited Kanyakumari. That is a place where three sides of land is surrounded by sea. So we can view sunrise and sunset on both side from the same place. In this way I think this is the only one sea side location in India. On the way back from Kanyakumari I saw ponds with lotus flowers. Then I remembered the Lotus Fairness Face Pack. So I collected few flowers from there. Lotus flowers and the whole part is so good to make a face pack that will increase the over all beauty of face. Before I used this pack, but the only problem is availability of lotus flowers.

Lotus Fairness face Pack
We can utilize the whole parts of the flower. Pluck out the petals and clean the whole thing very well. Cut into small pieces. Put it in a mixer/grinder and add a little milk and make a paste. Then put the paste in a bowl and add two teaspoon of almond oil. This is the lotus fairness face pack.

How to apply and when?
I recommend it to apply in the morning time on a week end. Because morning time our face skin will be in good condition to receive any rejuvenating treatment. Other time also is fine. Wash your face with normal water. Apply the lotus fairness face pack evenly all over the face. Keep it for 10-15 min. Then wash it off with cold water. Avoid sun exposure on this day.

You can see the result in the very first application of lotus fairness face pack. Do it weekly for three months and get the full result.

Dry Skin

Dry skin control

If you have dry skin give care to get back to normal skin. The problem with dry skin is that it may show the signs of early aging and leads to wrinkles. Dry skin tends to loose moisture level. Dehydrated skin attracts UV rays from Sun and gets sun damage easily.

Those who have dry skin take care not to use products containing alcohol or soap that may make skin dry. Choose products that contain humectants and emolients.

Here I can suggest Avocado face mask to avoid dry skin. You all know avocado is natural moisturizer. It is highly recommendable to dry skin. It can also be used on dry hair and it will acts as a good deep conditioner.

Avocado mask for dry skinavocado

Get half of a ripe avocado and mash it. Add 3 tsp. honey to it and mix it to prepare a paste. Clean your face with water and apply this paste. Wait for 15 -20 min. and wash it off with water.

This makes your skin moisturized and brings the natural shine. Skin looks more fresh and beautiful. This can be done at least once in a week. I am sure this recipe is one of the best for dry skin.
