How to get rid of sun tan and to get Glowing Skin !!!

Do you know??? SunTan is actually good for your skin?? Yes, it is,,when your skin is exposed to sunlight, melanin is produced in the skin to protect itself from the harmful ultra-violet (UV) rays of the sun. Since melanin determines the color of the skin, an excess of it will darken your skin color and thats the reason why your skin turns dark! uff!! But Among we girls who is ready to take Tanning heartily??? No one I hope!!

Oh come-on Girls!! we have such a lot of creams and stuff's to protect us from the so-called UV rays!! But are they worth enough to prevent you from getting dark?? I can hear to pupil tell a BIG NO.....

Suntan, once acquired, may not be easy to get rid of. However, here are a few Home made tips that you can follow to lighten,or remove the tan completely

    Formula 1: Mix yoghurt with lemon juice and apply it on your skin daily before bath. This will help you to lighten your skin color considerably.

                                                   

    Formula 2: Apply cucumber juice on your face to improve your skin tone. You can also rub freshly cut slices of cucumber on your skin.

                                        

    Formula 3: You can also add on few drops of potato juice or tomato juice with formula one and two for better results

    Formula 4: Aloe vera gel is another good treatment for sun tanned skin. Apply aloe vera gel on your skin regularly to help soothe the skin and help it remain hydrated.

                               

    Formula 5: Mix turmeric powder with yoghurt and honey to make a thick paste. Apply this paste on your skin and leave it for about 15-20 minutes before washing it off with cold water.

                                      

    Formula 6: Make a paste by mixing sandalwood powder with coconut oil and almond oil. Apply this paste on your skin and leave it for about half an hour before washing off with cold water.

                                 
   
    Formula 7: A good exfoliating scrub can be easily made by mixing dried and powdered orange peels in yoghurt. Apply this yoghurt-orange peel scrub on your skin and leave it for about half an hour. Not only will this paste act as a natural bleach, but it will also help scrub away the dead cells from your skin surface, resulting in a fresh and glowing skin.



    Formula 8: Another quick exfoliating scrub can be prepared by adding a few drops of milk to spoonfuls of sugar until they form a thick paste.



Besides these skin care tips for removing tan, you should also follow a few preventive measures to protect your skin properly. Avoid exposing your skin to direct sunlight especially in the peak period of the day- the afternoon. Wear protective clothing and apply sunscreen lotion (with an appropriate sun protection factor) before you go out in the direct sunlight.

Get ready to make your skin "Glow"!!

Beauty and Belle: To have lovely looking hair, from the moment you w...: NOW YOU CAN HAVE GREAT HAIR FROM THE MOMENT YOU WAKE UP!! Confused???Then read more......                                            ...

To have lovely looking hair, from the moment you wake up is not a nightmare anymore!!!!!!

NOW YOU CAN HAVE GREAT HAIR FROM THE MOMENT YOU WAKE UP!!

Confused???Then read more......

                                                    


The first and the foremost thing that bothers us the most when we wake up is undoubtedly our "unruly hair"

so Im gonna give you some tips how to manage your hair, from the very next moment, you wake up in the morning!!

I have unmanageably curly and dry hair.. and when i wake up and look into the mirror... i feel like "This is definitely not me"...
 So after so many Trials i gotto know "How to have great hair, from the moment i getup from my bed"

All you have to do is,implement the below steps and enjoy the day!!

  >>wash your hair in the morning rather than the evening. That way your hair will look great all day long! 
                                   

                                                 

>>If you tend to be in a rush in the morning and you don’t have time to wash your hair, wash it in the evening, but make sure you dry it before going to sleep. This will stop you from having to battle with frizz, unwanted waves or curled up hair the next day. 

>>“Though it’s best to wash your hair in the morning, what happens on the second day? The lifeless effect is often unavoidable… So to liven it up a bit, get up, turn your head upside down and re-boost your hair’s volume at the roots using your fingers.” You can also use styling products, such as a styling mousse, to boost your hair

                      I prefer Enliven's ultra hold mousse..Its quite affordable and it gave me good results!!

                     




To make sure your hair is looking lovely from the moment you wake up, it’s important you untangle it before going to bed. “Brushing and untangling your hair at the end of the day is just as important as taking your make-up off at night. Brushing your hair will get rid of impurities and any residue from the hair products you’ve used.” This will stop it from knotting overnight or looking dull when you wake up!
