Grey hair problem

Hi Sumi,

You can get henna powder(mehendi powder) here in the U.S. too. Check out in a nearby Indian stores in your locality.

Also, did you check this thread? There was a separate discussion about grey hair.

Hi Sonu

Thanks for u r suggestion. I tried for henna powder in U.S.(Florida - tampa). I can't get that powder. They are selling only the mehandhi which is used to apply for our hands. I don't know that I can buy and apply it for my hair. Bcos there may be any chemical mix in that mehandhi.

So I will try once again...

Hi Frens ,

1) To get a fairer skin .Try to drink peppermint juice every day 1/2 cup. I bet you within 2 weeks you will see some result. :mrgreen:

Home made Moisturizer

Home made Moisturizer

Take a mixture of glycerine and rosewater in equal parts. Apply on face. It is a cheap and effective moisturizer.

A glowing skin

Try this out for a glowing face

Equal amount of honey + lemon for normal skin, or equal amount of honey + cucumber juice for oily skin (i.e. 1/2 tsp each and use fresh lemon/cucumber juice). Apply for half hour on face. Well .... you will see / feel the difference on applying this mixture on the 1st day itself. (I am personally doing it)

Rita

And yes drink plenty of water...........8 glass minimum :thumbsup

Homemade Hair Spray

Hi all,

Long time since I contributed in beauty tip of the day. Here you go with a new tip...

Chop one lemon (or an orange for dry hair). Place in a pot with 2 cups water. Boil until half of the initial amount remains. Cool, strain, and place in a spray bottle. Store in the refrigerator. If it is too sticky, add more water.

Ingredients Needed:
2-3 large carrots
4 1/2 tablespoons honey

Directions:
Cook carrots, then mash. Mix with honey. Apply gently to the skin, wait 10 minutes. Rinse off with cool water.

I use this mask personally once in a fortnight and it leaves the skin clean and fresh. Try and you will feel the difference.

Skin whitener!

Banana is a natural skin whitener. Mash a ripe banana and apply it in the face and neck. Wash after 10-12 minutes.

Keep repeating it atleast 1 or 2 times every week till your tan fades away.
