TIPS FOR THE OILY BEAUTIES AND FOR THE GLOWING SKIN

Everyone wants to have a flawless and glowing skin. Some people are lucky who are born with it while some have to work hard to achieve what they want.

Before writing anything let me tell you my skin stats:

TYPE: combination-oily, pimple and blackheads prone

COMPLEXION: very fair

Here are some of the tips that i swear by..n they do help me.

(1) Drink loads of water. It is best to drink 4-5 glasses of water (preferably luke warm water with lemon n honey) early in the morning..empty stomach. Then you can continue with ur glasses of water throughout the day. Try to drink atleast 8-10 glasses f water in a day. The more the better.

(2) If possible use raw milk to massage on your skin on alternate days and then wash it  with luke warm water. Follow up with a moisturiser. I use aloe-vera gel.
This tip really helps you to get that glow on your face.

(3) Stop using any kind of face wash. Instead, use besan (mix it with few drops of tomato juice and rose water or you can even use it with plain water)  for washing your face. It is a natural cleanser + exfoliator. It's the mildest scrub + it's natural.

Since I have combi-oily skin, I follow it with rubbing ice on my face. Ice reduces the pore size + keeps the oilyness at bay for quite gud time. Follow with a moisturiser (preferably aloe vera gel).

Do this 2-3 times a day. Just as you would have washed ur face with ur face wash. I bet you would notice the difference from day1. Dis makes ur skin  glow…!!!

I personally swear by this tip. It has helped me ALOT...!!! n I mean it. Not did it only reduced my break outs but it also reduced the redness of the pimples n stopped them from increasing in size..i mean it just dries them.

(4) Instead of using any market product you can use the home made one.

The above mentioned besan thing works as a cleanser.

For toner this is what I do:

(a) Cucmber toner: Peel the cucumber. Cut it into pieces. Put into mixer.Pour a litle water.Start grinding. When done with it, sieve it and then put into ice trays and freeze.

(b) Rose water/Toner: get some rose flowers from your garden (white,red,pink..any). Wash them. Put them in the grinder. Pour sufficient amount of water. Start grinding. Sieve and freeze in ice trays.

These cubes can b used as and when required.

(5) If you have oily or combi skin, use multani mitti with rose water on alternate days.

(6) Last but not the least...eat a healthy diet and do exercise regulary.Go for walks atleast.

I hope it helps you.

                  ACNE & BLACKHEADS

Acne or blackheads, we all have either suffered from these at some point in our lives or are suffering from them. (the younger one's will be facing them).

Well. if we talk about me, then I would say that I have been in a constant relationship with these for long (specially with the blackheads). A relation I want to get out of, run away from...but these ridiculous things don't want to leave me alone, not even for a week. huh..!!!

First let me tell you a few things about my skin:
SKIN TYPE: I have combination skin with an extremely oily T-zone (forehead-nose-chin) and loads of blackheads in the T-zone. My skin becomes combination type during summers and quite dry in winters.
COMPLEXION: fair

Although I have always had a combination skin, but luckily (or unluckily) never faced any acne problem in my teens.
But that has become history now. Earlier I was bugged by these blackheads and now it's these ACNE.
Since the past 2 years I have been constantly facing this acne problem . And it's not just 1 or 2 of them but a whole bunch and that too all over my face. Grr....Do I need to tell you guys how it feels to have these pathetic things all over your face..???!!!

Moreover since I am a fair complexioned girl, these ridiculous red bumpy thing are even more visible. [sideffect of being fair... :( :( ]
So as I was saying that acne have been appearing all over my face since the past few years, I finally decided to go for an ayurvedic treatment. (Baba Ramdev's ayurved treatment to  be precise). I was given some tablets and a face pack (which smells yukk...none my family members don't dare to come in the room I am sitting with the pack on and I mean this). This gave me some relief but that was temporary.

Few months later, these pimples returned back (due to their un-ending love for me, but why me..??). This time I wanted a permanent solution so I decided to go for a homeopathic treatment. The doctor I went to asked me so many questions and finally came out with a conclusion that I have certain infection. I was convinced and started the medication. 6 months later there was little b it of improvement but I don't want to credit it to the treatment but I think that over the period of time the intensity had gradually decreased. I wasn't satisfied because the results were not at all satisfactory and 6 months is a long time...!!

I finally decided to visit a dermatologist who started my treatment. Few months later I am still waiting to see the results. Apart from the tablets, he gave me certain ointments and a face-wash called Cipla Saslic: Salicylic Acid face wash. Although it hasn't helped me with the acne problem but all my blackheads are gone..!!! yay..!! these blackheads were with me since the last 5-6 years.

I think the acne problem that I am facing is due to hormonal changes and will be over after some time and I will get my clear and glowy skin back.

I would recommend this face wash to girls suffering from acne or blackheads. This would be of great help.

Product: Cipla Saslic Salicylic Acid face wash
rice: rs. 150
volume:60 ml
