How to get rid of scars or marks?

I, as a kid, was prone to falling down and hurting myself; be it an accident outside the house or even inside the house. Unfortunately, my skin is not one of those kinds which will get rid of a scar or a mark all by itself.

When I understood how important it is to have clear skin, it was too late. None of the anti-marks creams worked in my favor. Finally I had to rely on some time tested techniques told by my grandma. I was so happy that they did work and I didn't have to spend a penny for those awesome tricks. Had I been a professional, maybe I would have charged someone for giving such great tips, but I guess as of now I can just help those who don't know about the miracle of natural herbs.

To remove scars due to getting hurt or burnt

Rub a sandal wood piece in water and apply the juice on the scars daily. You will be amazed to see the disappearing marks.
You can also use another method if getting sandalwood is a concern. Mix the juice of one ripe tomato with few drops of lemon juice and gently apply it on the scars twice in the day. Wash the face with normal water after 5-10 minutes. This remedy would result in the scars vanishing from the face and skin will have a natural glow to it.

To remove black scars or pigmentation from the face

You can rub a dry turmeric stick in lemon juice and apply this juice on the scars everyday. Wash the face after sometime and within a few weeks you will see these scars vanishing from your skin. Turmeric is an antiseptic apart from having medicinal qualities.

To get rid of pimple marks or chicken pox marks

Pimple or chicken pox marks are very difficult to get rid of and sometimes these marks can impact personal relationships as well. In order to get rid if these marks, first of all dry up the orange peel in shade and grind it fine. Store this orange rind in a glass bottle. Make a thick mixture using this orange rind and rose water and apply it on the face. After 15 minutes, wash the face with lukewarm water and repeat this remedy once in a day.

You will see a remarkable change in your skin color withing 4-6 weeks depending on the skin's responsiveness.

I would share more such tips in the upcoming posts. I would try to add at least one post every week from now. I will be writing on the HEALTH category very soon which would include natural remedies to keep yourself healthy at all times.

Your self esteem is solely dependent on how others perceive you in public, but if you want to make things happen in your favor then this is the place for you. I will today share some hot secrets about how to get rid of wrinkles without using expensive products which promise more and deliver less.

1) Take cold throttled cream and mix 4-5 drops of lemon juice in it. Apply this mixture before going to bed in the night. In the morning, wash your face with lukewarm water and dry it properly with a towel so that the skin is clean. Thereafter, again take throttled cream in your hand and massage it on the face and neck until it gets absorbed in the skin. After half an hour, either wash it or take a bath, but do not use soap on the face. The effects of this amazing remedy can be seen after doing it for 15-20 days. The face will be wrinkle free and you will also see the black spots disappearing from the skin. The skin will look soft, supple and fresh with this easy tip. (Note: People with oily skin should avoid making use of this tip)

2) If you massage your face with a little olive oil after taking a bath after the above mentioned remedy then the results could be achieved faster. The strokes should be in the opposite direction of the wrinkles.
3) Another very simple remedy is to use the peel of papaya. When you peel a ripe papaya, some of it is left in the peel itself. You just have to rub this peel gently on the face and the neck and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Thereafter, wash the face and dry it gently. This remedy is absolutely simple and gives awesome results.

4) Another very easy method of keeping your face glowing and wrinkle free is to exercise your face muscles. Say “EEEEEEEEEEE” and “OOOOOOOOO” for 15-20 times. When you say “E”, your lips should stretch as if you are smiling and when you say “O” your lips should come into a tight circle formation. Do this exercise 3 times a day and your problem of wrinkles will never bother you so much.

5) Eating a balanced diet which includes sprouts also reduces the problem of wrinkles.

At the end, all I would say is, that these natural remedies are very simple and give you natural results which last longer. If these tips are made a part of the daily routine then no one has to bother about looking old or dealing with the problem of wrinkles ever.

4 Essential Tips to Get Beautiful Lips

2011-09-26T00:51:00.000-07:00

Beautiful Lips is something which every man or woman likes to have. Lips enhance the look of the person if they are beautiful, supple and pink. Lips play an important role in the speech and appear as the most noticeable feature while observing someone while speaking. I, as a child, was always intrigued by the different lip shades available in the market but could never understand how to make the lips look beautiful naturally.

I somehow feel that it is not feasible to paint your lips all the time and the natural color of the lips can go a long way in enhancing a girl’s beauty. So I chanced upon a few facts which were easy to follow and gave amazing results. So are you ready for some magic!
For dry and chapped Lips – Lips can get dry due to the cold breeze. All you need to do is mix some clotted cream (Malai in Hindi) with a little turmeric and rub on the lips. This will make your lips soft and supple.

For dead skin deposition on lips – If a thin membrane of dead skin deposits on the lips then do not scratch or bite your lips. Just apply almond oil before sleeping in the night. The dead skin will fall off and the lips will become soft and beautiful.

For curing blackening of lips – Grind rose petals, mix with glycerin and apply on the lips on a regular basis. While using this remedy, make sure that you do not apply lipstick. Regular application of this natural mixture will help you get rid of the black color of the lips and turn them into pink.

To Increase the Iron Content – Lips can lose their luster and color due to iron deficiency as well. Soak a few raisins in half a cup of water at night, chew and eat the raisins in the morning and drink the water as well. You will gradually see that the iron content of your body will improve which will also make your lips look beautiful and pink.

You do not need hours of preparation for getting these tips into action, but just some regular efforts. These tips are some of the easiest natural remedy to get beautiful lips without hiding them below coats of lipstick.

Acne can happen to anyone and at any age. It could happen due to the eating habits, hormonal changes, skin disorders and even due to the hereditary effects. When I was adolescent, I was afraid of getting acne as I used to see everyone around me cribbing about it. Somehow, I never faced that problem and my friends were too jealous of my clear skin. The best thing was that I came to know of such natural remedies to get rid of acne marks that I never was worried about the future anymore.

Let me share these awesome and sure shot ways of getting rid of acne and acne marks with you also now.

Dry the orange peel in shade and grind it to a fine powder and preserve it. Now mix this powder with equal quantity of gram flour (Besan) and soak it in water for 15 minutes. Then make a thick paste and apply this paste gently on the acne. Wait for 10 minutes and wash the face with lukewarm water. If you use this tip for 4-6 weeks, this will help you to get rid of the acne.

If you use the above mentioned orange rind powder along with rose water on the entire face then you can get relieved of acne, pigmentation and even chickenpox marks. This paste can be applied on a wet face while bathing after every 3-4 days to get rid of acne marks. It all depends on the time you can invest to use this tip.

Take equal proportions of lemon juice and rose water and apply it on the face. Wait for half an hour and wash the face with fresh water. Use this natural remedy for 10-15 days and you will not only feel a relief in acne but also in other marks and scars. Alternatively, apply lemon rind on the face gently in circular motion before bath and wash the face with lukewarm water. Note: Never pluck or prick the pimples or they will spread and the marks will be permanent. If you clean the face with steam before using the above mentioned mixture, the effect will be quicker.

Another way of warding off the constant growth of acne is to keep your skin clean by using steam. Expose the face to steam for 5-6 minutes and then wipe the face clean with a wet towel. This will help to control the collection of excess oil and enables to open the pores of the skin.

Treat constipation problems and stay away from oily foods as it adds to acne growth.
Use of olive oil on the face on a regular basis treats not only acne but also clears the marks and scars due to pimples or boils.

“People say that beauty is skin deep, but when you walk in public, the first thing people notice is your complexion.”

You must have seen thousands of lotions and moisturizers claiming that they will lighten your complexion although it is very difficult to believe on such things. Every skin type is particular due to the climatic conditions and there is no universal solution to get a fair complexion. Although there are some age old remedies for lightening your complexion and believe me, they do work! The best part is that you don’t have to spend a fortune while trying these remedies and most of all there is no side effect of these remedies.

So let’s see some of those age old trusted remedies which can make heads start turning towards you.

1) Lemon is one such fruit whose miraculous effects are still not known. I am sure you won’t believe me if I tell you that lemon can be used for a fair complexion as well. All you need to do is to mix the juice of two lemons in 10 liters of the water with which you bathe. In winters the same remedy can be followed but with warm water. This simple remedy enables the natural elements of lemon juice to open up the closed pores, remove the oil and dirt from them and thus making your skin fairer. Regular use of lemon also helps you to get rid of the body odor and is also helpful in eradicating quite a few skin diseases.

2) Soak 60 gms tamarind(whole) in 250 gms water overnight. Then grind it into a fine paste. Rub this paste on the body and leave it for 15 minutes. After that take a bath. This natural remedy can turn a person with dark complexion into a fair one within a few weeks. It also helps in removing black spots on the face or any kind of blemishes and marks.

3) Alternatively, you can consume the plain juice of carrots (about a half a glass) on empty stomach in morning and evening for 10-15 days and see the change in the complexion. Carrot juice cleans the impurities of the blood and increases your hemoglobin count as well.

These are some of the easy natural home remedies for getting a fair complexion without buying those expensive creams month after month without seeing any results. A fair complexion is no good if the skin is not supple and having good amount of juices will give you a glowing skin from within. You must have noticed that even though some females are dark but their skin looks very supple due to which they look attractive. So if you only intend to make your skin look good from outside then the cosmetics can help you up to a certain extent but not after that.

Tips for Dandruff free hair

2011-04-14T01:17:00.000-07:00

“My favorite color is black, but I can’t wear it. You know..dandruff issues!!” Every 8 out of 10 people nowadays face a problem with those white flakes falling from the scalp which makes us embarrassed if anyone notices it. Do you know how does that dandruff develop in our hair?? It can happen due to a dry scalp or due to Seborrheic Dermatitis (irritated oily skin). We are told by a lot of people that if you do an oil massage then the dandruff problem will vanish, but that is not always true. Every skin type is different and so is the kind of dandruff. There may be a lot of shampoos and products available in the market for treating dandruff, but how can you make sure that it will suit you. Either you go in for a trial and error method and end up losing hair or end up spending uselessly. With home remedies which have been tried and told by our grandmas, we can be sure that there won’t be any side effects at least. Let me tell some such simple and cheap remedies to cure dandruff for different skin types.

External application—Mix 100 gm of coconut oil with 4 gm camphor (kapuur) and keep it in a glass jar. Massage it in the hair roots with a gentle round movement of your fingers in the night. You can also wash the hair in the morning using a mild shampoo. Check for a shampoo whose Ph is less (between 5 to 7). This method should be repeated at least thrice in a week for people who have oily scalp and twice for people with dry scalp. You will start seeing the results in hardly two weeks. Usage of this oil also prevents the growth of lice in the hair.

Use of Lemon-- Apply the lemon juice on the scalp before half an hour of washing them. After washing the hair with slightly warm water, the dandruff will start falling off and hair will also become shiny.

Another Effective remedy—Mix coconut oil and lemon juice in a 2:1 ratio and also add little powdered camphor into the mixture. Prepare this mixture freshly before applying it in the night with gentle finger movements. Wash the hair with warm water in the morning. This will also have fast results in removing the dandruff and will also make your hair shiny and healthy.

Dandruff is also caused at times due to the consumption of junk food as our skin reacts according to the food intake. If you drink plenty of water and consume lots of salad then the root cause of dandruff, which is the impurity in blood will automatically go and will leave you with good hair and skin.

Remedies for Natural, soft and silky Black Hair

2011-04-12T23:23:00.000-07:00

In today’s life, people go through a lot of stress, maybe at workplace or at home. This results in an unhealthy lifestyle. People tend to indulge in drinking, smoking, consuming drugs or maybe just junk food. We all at that point of time never think of the consequences of such chemicals going in our body and causing our skin and hair to become dull. If you are aware of the fact that you are invariably causing harm to your body skin somehow or the other, then maybe you will stop stepping out of your home also. However, as that is not possible, so we need to look for remedies to cure these problems. Let me tell you some very simple home remedies to get rid of those huge holes in your pocket after buying those expensive products which you don’t feel like buying again due to their prices.

Intake method— Get fresh Gooseberries (aanwla) from the market, keep them for drying in the sun. When they get dried completely, grind them and store the powder in a glass container. You can get this powdered form of gooseberries (aanwla) directly in the market also. Consume 1 tablespoon of the powdered form of gooseberry with a glass of water before going to bed in the night. Let me tell you that this powder will not only help in getting the black color of your hair back, but also makes your skin glow and aids in the stomach troubles as well.
External Application—Take the powdered form of gooseberry(aanwla) and make a thick paste with water. Apply this paste on the hair before bathing. Leave it for 10-15 minutes and then wash it thoroughly with plain water. This helps in getting the black natural color back as well as stops the hair fall.
Shampoo Form—Take dried gooseberries ( 25 gm), break them into big pieces and soak them into 250 gm water overnight. In the morning, smash them and extract the water soaked into them by rubbing them with a hard hand and keep it separate with the water in which the gooseberries were soaked. Now sieve this juice by using a thin cloth.
Apply this juice gently into the roots of hair and leave it for 10-20 minutes. After that, wash the hair with plain/cold water. For dry hair, this shampoo should be used once a week and for oily hair twice a week. This method will also result in soft black hair and reduce the hair fall caused due to the shampoos which we use.
