Strawberry





Crush 2-3 fresh Strawberries and apply them on your face as a mask - You can add a few drops of lemon juice for enhanced whitening effects, but trying adding a drop of honey or milk-cream in it, if your skin is dry. Leave it on your skin for 15-20 minutes. After it dries, gently rub it off the skin and wash with plain water (again, avoid using soap to wear off any whitening mask).

Cooling Mask – Summer Mask


Its not just your body but also your skin needs something to cool off this summer and this homemade face mask can give your skin a cooling effect and sooth it from the damage caused by sun.

Mash peeled cucumber or use just the cucumber juice and add chilled aloe vera gel to it and apply a thick layer all over the face, you can also use yogurt in place of aloe vera gel. Store the rest of the mask in a container and refrigerate for later use.

Healthy glow – Lemon & Honey

For a healthy natural glow to your skin and to achieve a even skin tone, cut a lemon into half dip it into honey and use it in circular motion all over your skin for few minutes and then leave it on your face for about 15 mins and rinse off with warm water. Repeat this twice a week for a glowing tan free skin.
Lemon and Honey both have lighten and brightening properties that will exfoliate the skin, lighten it and give it a healthy glow.

Glowing Skin

1.Wash your face twice daily. Make cleansing your skin part of your morning and bedtime routines.

  • Use a gentle soap. Unless you have exceptionally oily skin, this should do the trick for most people. Remember that you want to clean your skin, not completely strip it of all oils — if it feels tight and dry after washing, you're using something too strong.
  • Lather the soap around all the areas of your face. Make sure you get your forehead (especially along the hairline), cheeks, nose, upper lip, chin, and jawline.
  • Rinse off by splashing water on your face. Using a washcloth or rag to roughly wipe your skin clean can irritate it more. Instead, bend your face over the sink, cup your hands together, and bring up small amounts of water to splash over your face. About 10 splashes should do it.
  • Pat dry. Again, don't roughly rub your skin dry with a towel. Instead, dry it with small, gentle pats or let it air dry.
  • Always wash off your makeup at night. Even if you're too tired to do the rest of the routine before you go to bed, at least make sure your makeup comes off your face. Not only does this prevent it from clogging up your pores and causing breakouts while you sleep, it also stops you from smearing bacteria on your pillow — where it can get into your skin night after night.
 2. Use a toner (optional). A toner removes excess oil and dirt from your skin that the soap missed, in addition to closing your pores. Not everyone needs to use a toner, but some people find it helpful.

  • Put a few drops onto a cotton ball or pad. Swipe it lightly over your skin.
  • Only use astringent if your skin is exceptionally oily. Astringent is a stronger type of toner that can be up to 60% alcohol. If your skin tends to be dry, using astringent could actually cause acne by driving your oil glands to overcompensate.
  • Witch hazel is a natural alternative to buying synthetic toner/astringent.
  • Consider applying toner to only the areas of your skin that tend to break out. For instance, you might only use it on your nose or forehead.  
3.Moisturize twice daily. Using lotion in the morning acts as a primer for your makeup, helping it "stick" to your face throughout the day. Moisturizing at night helps your skin repair itself and stave off wrinkles. Bottom line, it's one of the best things you can do for glowing skin over the long term.
  • Consider using a lighter moisturizer during the day. If you're prone to breakouts, save the heavy cream moisturizer for nighttime and use a light or gel moisturizer during the day.
  • Don't forget your neck and décolletage. These areas can get super dry and irritated if you never moisturize them.
4.Exfoliate once a week (optional). If your skin tends to be dry and flaky, a weekly exfoliation can clear out dead skin cells. Find an exfoliant that has a super fine grain, and don't rub it roughly into your skin — use light pressure and gentle motions.

5.Protect your skin from the sun. Avoid leathery, tough skin by applying a light sunscreen every time you plan to be outside. The lack of sun damage will keep your skin dewy and supple for years to come. Remember, it only takes 15 minutes to get a sunburn, so be prepared.
