How to make your lips smooth and pink

Lips… one of most beautiful things in women. Lets make them more beautiful here.

Pink Lips
If your lips have got dark, here is a solution:
Rose petals help to regain the colour,time depends how much dark your lips have gone.

1. Crush the rose petals and mix in your lipbalm/vaselline/fresh cream and apply on your lips every night while going to bed
2. Coriander leaves (haraa dhaniyaa in urdu) also helps to gain rosy lips. Just crush the leaves and take out the juice from it. Even 1/4 spoon of juice is enough. Apply onyour lips in night and wash in morning. Do everyday
3. Take some lemon thick peel and squeeze it forcefully so that you get the juice of the peel. The enzymes present in lemon peel lightens the lip's colour.Do this on alternate nights. Do not use it in day time..

Home Made Lip Balm

1. Get some Cranberries,take out the pulp, add some sugar and heat in pan for sometime, around 5 minutes till sugar dissolves. Now take this mixture and add vaselline in 1:1 and your lip balm is ready and its delicious too.
   TIP: Mixing sugar keeps the balm preserved. This balm can be preserved for a week if kept refrigerated.
2. Add some lemon drops to Malai(its the cream which is set on top layer of milk after boiling it ). Apply everynight.
3. Take some kesar(saffron), mix in milk and apply on lips every night.

4: You can massage your lips with almond oil too… it will provide nourish and the lips will look good.

Nails Care

The surface of a nail is called the nail plate:

• The cuticle is the skin that grows from the finger onto the base of the nail (nail root). 
• Nail moons are found at the base of the nails. Small or no moons may indicate low metabolism while large moons may indicate an active metabolism.
• The average growth rate a day is 0.1 mm. Weather, activity, hormonal changes & age all have an effect on the rate of nail growth.
• With age nails tend to thicken, harden, grow slower & ridges appear.

Fair hair with yoghurt care

Women of the 21st century tend to view natural ingredients with suspicion. Unlike our grandmothers' generation, we've grown accustomed to treatments created by cosmetics companies rather than having to create homemade concoctions. However, we shouldn't be so quick to discredit the practices of the older generations. Years ago, the luxury of frequent salon visits and blowouts was minimal — beauty techniques have evolved over time and were based upon traditional and Ayurvedic medicine and/or an innate understanding of the human anatomy. The fact that our grandmothers used everyday household items like oil and yoghurt in beauty treatments, does seem bizarre, but those treatments worked.
You may notice your hair is becoming dull and lifeless. This is primarily due to the changing seasons — as the temperature changes from warm to cold and cold to warm, your hair is bewildered as to whether it should overproduce oil or go into lock down mode. Well, ladies, the solution is to indulge in the use of a little yoghurt and watch your locks turn into soft, silky, dandruff-free tresses.
Yoghurt is high in lactic acid and has natural anti-fungal properties. It works to stimulate hair growth and fight dandruff by acting as a natural cleanser that tightens and clarifies the pores on your scalp. The protein property helps to strengthen and moisturize your hair and to tame persistent, rough frizz by smoothening out your strands. The creamy consistency and antibacterial ingredients help to soothe the scalp and reduce any itchiness. There are several techniques used to make a yogurt hair mask. The four listed below are the most basic methods used.
Simple Yoghurt
This is the easiest and least messy and time consuming method. Simply whip some plain yoghurt in a bowl on dry hair before showering. Massage the yoghurt into your scalp by parting your hair an inch at a time. Brush on the remaining product to the rest of your hair from roots to ends. Leave the yogurt in for about an hour. You may then rinse the yogurt out with lukewarm water and a mild shampoo. Conditioner is optional.
Yoghurt and egg
When whipping yoghurt, add a full egg — the white part helps with strength and the yolk increases shininess. Make sure to wash your hair out with tepid water — anything hotter and you will end up with scrambled eggs in your hair! Use a mild shampoo such as a basic shampoo for normal hair that is not specifically clarifying, moisturising or for dandruff, or you'll be negating the effects of the yoghurt mask.
Yoghurt and mustard/olive oil
This method can be applied either before shampooing or afterwards as a conditioner. Add one or two tablespoons of either mustard oil or olive oil to whipped yogurt. After washing hair with a mild shampoo, apply this conditioner and leave in for about 15 minutes. Make sure to have more parts yoghurt than oil so the mask washes out easily without having to reapply shampoo.
Yoghurt and fruit
This technique requires you to blend yoghurt along with pulp from fruits containing natural oils that soften your hair. These include avocados, mangoes, cantaloupe and bananas. Experiment with different ingredients and find the one that brings out the natural shine in your locks.
On a final note, yoghurt is known to have intense cooling properties, so be sure to use this mask in a warm room. We understand there is a price to beauty, but we don't want anyone catching a cold.

Ways to Prevent Pimples

Face masks are also a good way to prevent pimples. They have the power to reach deep into the pores and clear out any dirt trapped there. After you have completed your daily skincare regime, a good way to prevent dirt from getting into open pores is to use cold water. Very cold water on the face will seal the pores shut, and it will also tighten up the skin.

One way to prevent pimples is to stick to a healthy diet. A proper balanced diet that includes plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables will keep the skin in peak condition and may prevent excess oil. Food allergies are also a cause of pimples. A doctor should be able to determine if this is a cause of eruptions in the skin.

Basic Hair Care results in smooth and silky hair + less Hair Fall

Lets talk about some basic care of hair.

*Oiling: It is very essential for hair. Massaging your scalp with your finger tips helps a lot. If you warm the oil a bit and then massage the oil will be absorbed well.
Hair oil: You can get any good hair oil available in market. Many people prefer coconut oil. Try Olive Oil its good too. You can use just olive oil, or mix it with almond oil in 1:1.

*Washing: Ideally hair should be washed 3 times a week, its absolutely safe and good for hair. It can be more or less on your individual preference. Some people say less washing would cause dirt accumulation whereas some say excessive washing leads to hair fall and dryness.

While applying shampoo to your locks, leave them hanging down instead of piling them on top of your head as though you're posing for a shampoo commercial. Piling up your hair only leads to more tangles. Let it hang naturally so the lather works its way from the root to the ends.

While washing your hair, try diluting your shampoo, i mean mix it in water and then use. This would have two benefits. Shampoo would be well distributed, due to distribution shampoo wont clog at one part of scalp. Sometimes too much amount of shampoo dries the hair which wont happen if you dilute the shampoo.

After applying diluted shampoo to your hair, massage your scalp for a minute with your finger tips. Yes u read it correct "MASSAGE", dont worry within a minute shampoo wont penetrate or harm your skin, it would just remove the dirt accumulated in scalp.

Many people wash their hair two times. They wash it and again apply shampoo and wash. because they believe this method would remove all dirt. But this would dry up the hair. If you follow the above method of massaging your scalp just for a minute, you wont need to wash your hair second time.

Wash your hairs with cold water Because cold water helps the hair scales lie down flat, making them stronger. On the other hand warm water opens the hair scales not only causing more frizz but also making the hair shaft weaker and more vulnerable. In addition, the scalp secretes certain oils that are good for the hair. These oils get dissolved in warm water, causing further dryness. Cold water does not dissolve the natural oils. So make the healthy-hair choice and go in for cold water!

* Conditioning:

Daily conditioning: There are two types of conditioners used on daily basis.
rinse off conditioners and leave on conditioners.
Rinse off conditioners: These conditioners are generally used after shampooing, applied on damp hair, kept for a minute or two and then rinsed of with water.

TIP: Try using it on moist hair, i mean whenever you wash your hair. Towel dry your hair softly, dont rub the towel, just pat dry the hair then apply conditioner, wash after a minute. You would notice considerable difference.

Leave on conditioners: (do not confuse with livon)
These conditioners are used on damp/ dry hairs and can be kept in hair, no need of washing the hair. These conditioners can be used even if you are using rinse off conditioners.
deep conditioning
once a while depending on your hair type, deep conditioning is advisable. It would nourish your hair, keep them silky, soft and bouncy. It improves texture, strength and helps to grow your hair.
serums
These are silicon based transparent liquids used on damp/dry hair. They make hair look shiny temporarily. Some of examples of serums are livon, silk n shine, lolane etc. There are lot of brands available in market.

Many scientist claim that too much use of serums can damage the hair, but it hasnt been proved yet, so its your choice how frequently you want to use serums.

Towel drying the hair:

Whenever we need to towel dry our hair what we do? We take a towel and start rubbing it on our scalp. But its NOT the way to do it. Whenever you need to towel dry your hair take the towel and try to be as gentle as you can. Just touch the towel on your hair pat them and try to touch the towel on all your hair but do not rub.

combing the hair:
Before stepping into the shower, comb your hair lightly with a wide-toothed comb to untangle knots. This aligns the strands and prevents your getting out of the shower with a lot of knots. Begin at the ends and slowly work your way up. Never try to rip through tangles from top to bottom. You'll end up with a clump of hair on your comb that could have been avoided if only you'd had some patience!

Wet hair break easily, so its good to comb before washing. After washing, pat dry your hair if you want. Let your hair shed some water. Take a shampoo comb(its that big comb, which has big spaced teeth) and comb your hair only ONCE and very gently. Let your hair dry and then use combs and hair brushes.

Using rubber bands clips etc:
Use hair bands instead of rubber bands.

Use This


Whenever you wear a hair clip, make sure its not pulling your hair.

Avoid wearing messy accessories on daily basis.

Blow drying and ironing:
Avoid blow drying and ironing as much as u can. But if you want to do it, keep blow dryer at a distance of 6 inches from your hair and go for a deep conditioning more often if you do it more frequently.

If you do ironing, never forget to use a cream or serum which gives protection to your hair from ironing. Though it doesnt give complete protection, but atleast it provides some protection.

Permanent treatments:
If you are thinking to go for rebonding, permanent straightening or colour, first of all make sure your hairs are healthy enough to undergo such harsh treatments.

Think atleast twice before doing these things because you might have bad hair after doing so.

Random tips:

• Keep the use of other chemicals minimum like gels, spray etc..
• If you have AC in your room or office cabin, never sit direct in front of AC. The air should not directly fall to your hair
• If you drive a two wheeler, or travel in public transport where air is passed in a speed always tie your hair dont keep them open.
• If its pollution or too much of sunlight, cover your hair with a cap, hat, dupataa or anything fashionable. I still see people who carry an umbrella in summer and most of them are 50+ who look like they are still in thier 30′s.
• Drink lot of water.
• Keep a check on your diet and food intake. Eat healthy and balanced.
• Never use harsh shampoos, i hope nobody uses a soap on their hair (i have seen many people using bathing soap on thier hair).

Haircuts suited to the face shape

Fashion cannot be followed blindly! Especially with hairstyles, you should always see what suits your facial features . An amazing hairstyle that might look good on a model may not necessarily look good for you.

Hair Style for An Oval face Shape
The oval face is the perfect face. Almost any hairstyle will go with it, whether it is long or short, straight or curly. If you have an oval face, you will do well with having layers near your chin or cheekbones to draw attention to them. However, try to avoid hairstyles that add volumes to the top of your head ? it will make your face look longer.

Hair Style for A round face Shape
Since you have a nice round face, see that your hair is cut onto your cheeks to shade them and narrow down the sides. A shoulder length cut will help make your face look longer and slimmer. Avoid fringes and curls. A soft feathery look is the most flattering. Straight long hair gives a stunning effect!

Hair Style for A Long face Shape
Your beautiful long face can be made to look less long with fringes, soft half-fringes or a chin-length cut which is fuller at the bottom, add width. Anything but a long straight bob, which will make you appear even more long faced and pulls down your whole appearance.

Hair Style for A heart-shaped face
Since you have a beautiful heart-shaped face, softness at the temples and fullness just below the ear level suits you the best. Avoid a center parting, as it tends to emphasize your pointed chin, instead part your hair on one side or wear it without a parting. If your hair is short, turn the ends inwards.

Hair Style for A Square face Shape
Fringes and curls flicked forward help to soften 'corners' of you square face. Cut your hair short at the temples. Avoid symmetry, short crops or anything geometric. Make sure your hair has body, if necessary go in for a soft perm.

Brush your hair

So a lot of stylist have taught us that we should comb our hair and not brush it in order to reduce hair breakage. This is true for removing snarls, but once your hair is tangle-free and fully dry, brushing is great for your scalp. Brushing stimulates circulation to the scalp and can promote hair growth. 

Brushing is also a great way to control oil. To control oily hair through brushing, simply brush your hair for 10 full minutes before showering. Be sure to scratch your scalp with each stroke of the brush. When you are done brushing your hair will be disgustingly oily but you'll wash that all away in the shower. Seriously this was the ONLY thing that worked for me. I would wash my hair in the morning and by lunch time my hair would start to look oily at the roots, but when I started brushing before washing, it released all of the oils and it took my body a while to replace them, so I was able to stay oil free all day.

Method of Facial

Beauty salon at your house! 

Re-create the benefits of the beauty salon in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Facial, is done for a deep-down cleansing and a definite improvement in skin tone.Just once a month will make a noticeable difference to your complexion.

Cleanse your face with cleansing milk. Then take your soap-free face wash and dot all over your face.

Take a shaving brush (the kind men use to shave) and move it over your face in a circular manner. This is to stimulate the skin and improve blood circulation. 

Wash off with lukewarm water and pat your face dry. 

Lightly massage a light cream or a moisturizer in upward strokes all over your face. This will loosen dead surface skin cells and leave your skin softer and smoother. It will also prepare your complexion for the beneficial treatments to come. 

Prepare a solution of tea leaves and water to which mint leaves and fenugreek seeds have been added. Boil this solution and steam your face with it in a manner similar to taking steam inhalation during a bad cold. Make sure the steam reaches all areas of your face. This acts as food for the skin as it is very nourishing and refreshing.

Take a tissue and wipe off the moisture. This removes the dead cells and dirt from the skin. 

Apply a cold compress next, to close the open pores. Take a tissue dipped in iced fruit juice (one that suits your skin) and place the tissue on your face. Leave on for 10 minutes. Smooth the sensitive eye area under your eyes with a soothing eye cream to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and make the skin ultra soft. 

After that, prepare a face mask, face mask powder and milk for dry skin and mask powder and rose water for oily skin -- and apply all over your face and neck. Keep two swabs of moist cotton over your eyes and wash the mask off when semi-dry or after 20 minutes. 

Cracked Feet

Foot is the most neglected part of the body.Foot is also most important part of the body mostly womens can not take care of their feet ,sometimes womens care their face but did not care about hands & feet and the result is they are dry .
Dry cracked feet are due to lack of moisture. When the feet are not getting enough moisture, then cracks develop on the feet. If there is excessive dryness sit will lead to itching sensation and many times it starts bleeding as well.

There are many ways to avoid cracked feet:
1-You can apply hydrogenated oil after bathing the foot and then drying it fully.

2-You can also apply a pulp of a dry banana and then wash and dry the area properly.

3- You can avoid dry cracked feet if you can soak you feet in lemon juice regularly about twice a day and it also helps heal the cracked feet.

4-One of the easiest and most common ways is first soak the feet in water for about 10 minutes, dry it and on the cracked surfaces put moisturizing cream and then let it dry,You can do this for around 10 days and the result will be fine feet in front of you. Especially during cold weather you should do it as it dries the skin and feet are the first part of the body that are affected by dry skin


To keep your feel perfectly..
Those who have very dry skin and their feet get cracked very easily should take some tough measures to keep the feet smooth and fine. One such method is to liquefy paraffin wax and then mix it with little amount of mustard oil, put it on the cracked surface and then wash it off later in the day. If this process is repeated for 10 to 15 days it, you will find your feet soft and smooth. Proper nutrition and diet is also necessary to keep your feet in perfect condition.

What is Cashmere

Cashmere is made from the hair of the capra-hircus goat. The cashmere goat is found mainly in the high mountains of asia, but has been reared all over the world. You can find cashmere producers in Australia , Canada and the United States. Our Cashmere products are made in Kathmandu, Nepal. We think our cashmere is softer than anyone elses. We always feel cashmere items in the shops with some disappointment, as it does not feel as soft as it should.
