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.

Precautions for Homemade Beauty Treatments

Things to remember while doing herbal homemade beauty treatments

In this site you see all natural homemade beauty treatments. So, those who are not familiar with Indian herbs may have doubts. You may think whether it have any side effects! Whether it needs any precaution for homemade beauty treatments! Even if it has no side effects there are some points to be noted as a precaution. Most of the ingredients I am suggesting in this sites for my beauty tips are used in cooking. But even foods are not accepted by all body types. Similarly herbal ingredients in homemade beauty treatment may not be accepted by all type of skins. When we treat sensitive skins or skins with allergic tendency we have to test the homemade pack or mask before applying.

For example, some people may produce irritation while applying pepper. In this case when we use items with pepper just test it by applying a small quantity on the inner wrist of hand. Wait for few minutes and make sure there is no irritation. This is the best precaution for this homemade beauty treatments.

While applying oils on hair or body. You may not using any oils before. Now everybody is aware of the benefits of applying oil. But if you apply oil for the first time it may not be accepted by your body well. When you apply oil on hair sometimes it may cause a sudden temporary hair loss. But do not stop oiling, after few try it will be ok. Remember to apply a little oil at first. And if you do not like the sticky feeling on hair after oiling you may use some mild shampoo. These are just some precautions for using homemade beauty treatments.

Sometimes when you apply oil on body or face you may not like the sticky nature of the oil. In this case you select thin oils or refined oil. Virgin oil is best but select refined. And refined coconut oil is very thin and do not leave much smell of the oil. But olive and almond oils are said to be very good oils. These oils may feel very thick, some people may not like it. Virgin and refined olive oil is available in the market. Once you get used to it you will feel nice to use oils and it become a part of your homemade beauty treatment.

In my personal experience, almond oil once I applied around my eyes to remove dark under eye circle due to sitting more time in front of computer. But it produced some discomfort for my head and eyes for few days. My skin is somewhat sensitive. But it won't be the case for everybody. So if you are applying almond oil or any other oil for first time apply a little and see.

When we use vegetables and fruits as ingredients give a little attention. Some fruits or vegetables we may not like or it won't suit our digestion. This is due to the acidic or alkaline nature of our body and ingredients. If your body is more acidic nature, your skin may show dryness. Then try to avoid ingredients with acidic nature or use very mild dose. For example while using lemon, orange etc. in your homemade beauty treatments, apply a minimum quantity in a small area.

Multani mitti (Fuller's earth) used as an ingredient in face masks. It is recommended for oily skins. If we use it in extremely dry skin it makes the skin more dry. We use green gram flour to wash body and hair. It also make dry skin more dry. But after oiling it can be used, it won't make skin more dry.

When you apply egg on skin or hair. It is noticed that some people may not like the nature and smell of egg. In this case use the egg white only. After applying it rinse well. Use soap or shampoo. Remember for rinsing use cold water not hot or warm water.

Another precaution for using homemade beauty treatments: While using carrot as ingredient. Or any vegetable or fruits for that matter give attention to use it. If you are grating carrot and think that you are keeping it on the fridge for latter use. Never ever keep carrot without refrigerating. Sometimes electricity failure, take care. It is same with the case of carrot juice. Reports have come it may cause serious health problems while drinking bottled carrot juice. Here in beauty care always try to use fresh ingredients.

These are some precautions for homemade beauty treatments to be noted. Latter I can add some more in another post. Good luck.

Hair Treatment

Hair treatment for hair loss

Here we discuss about homemade hair treatment for hairloss. If you suffer from hair loss, definitely you require a hair treatment. In the market there are so many types of hair treatment products available. But here we focus on homemade hair treatment.

Hair treatment using Reetha (Areetha), Shikakai and Amla. All these ingredients are herbs. In India it is very common. I would like to tell you some thing about these ingredients of our hair treatment.

Reetha otherwise is called soap nut. Soap nuts contain saponin, a natural detergent which is used to clean clothes. It is used to make herbal shampoo. Here we can add this in our hair treatment.

Soap nuts have become popular as an environmentally friendly alternative to manufactured, chemical detergents . A few nuts can be placed in a cotton drawstring bag in with a wash load and reused several times. Soap nuts are safe for washing silk, woolens and other delicate fabrics.



Shikakai means "fruit for hair" and is a traditional shampoo used in India.









It is made from Acacia concinna, a shrub native to the warm, plains of central and south India. Acacia concinna has been used as hair treatment in India for centuries, it is now grown commercially in India and Far East Asia. The plant parts used for the dry powdered or the extract are the bark, leaves or pods. So it is also very good for hair treatments.

Amla or Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica, syn.
Emblica officinalis) is a deciduous tree

of the Euphorbiaceae family. It is known for its edible fruit of the same name. It is used in Ayurvedic medicines. Locally the crush of this fruit is used in hair treatment in India. Whatever hair treatment we make out of this Gooseberry is very effective in controlling hairloss and helping hair growth.








How to make Hair Treatment
Mix Reetha 2 tbsp, Shikakai 2 tbsp and Amla 2 tbsp. Add an egg and make it a paste. Wash your hair first. Apply this paste on scalp and hair. Let your fingers pass through out your hair that will make the paste mix well in your entire hair. Leave it for 20 min. Then rinse hair well. if you want use mild shampoo. Repeat it two three times a week for a month. Some may not like the smell of egg, so use coconut or olive oil instead of egg to prepare this hair treatment. I hope you enjoy these
hair treatment.
