Skin Care!! winters!!

No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow. 

Winters are almost heavy this time!!
We gals have to take care of sooooo many things..
skin, hair, health... pheeewwwwww!!

Can we make it easy and natural, than freaking out on winter products? and spend soo much of money?

first thing first... 

If we do not take care of our skin in winter, our spring wouldn't be awesome!!

Some tips i followed for my extra dry skin.. and it worked

We have to care our skin mornings and nights also!!

Why Night? Because winters throws those clod wings on night also.. so care is very much important
Mine is extra dry skin!! And you know how extra dry skin works in winter…. Huff

But trust me it is very east to take care.

What you need:-

Almond Oil (any one which you get from your local shop)
Olive oil
Boro Plus
Sunscreen Lotion
Krack Cream
Parachute hair oil
Ghee
Green Leaves.

Now how we use these ingredients…..

Daily morning when we wakeup and brush later have 1 cup green tea or what ever preferred… winters normally block our nose… so daily try to take steam which will resolve sooo many problems.

But just 10 mins before steam apply almond oil and massage ur face and neck gently fr 5 mins… let some oil be left on skin… so that when you stem it will not remove oiliness from your skin…

After steam apply few more drops almond oil and massage gently and leave it.. as we normally prefer to take bath with VERY HOT water in winters… this is most req…

Take 2 drops of olive oil and massage your lips….

Before you go to take bath… if you are taking head bath.. make sure you apply heated parachute oil heated with few green leaves ( which lets the hair to be black) before 30 mins…

Now when you take bath make sure u use less hot water on your face…

After bath.. make sure you apply moisturizer soon… as in winters evengs and mrngs are too cold.. afternoons are also too hot

So sunscreen is very much required after you apply moisturizer, try applying sun screen on it… it will giv a natural look..

And hair dry it naturally than using blowyer, which spoils the textures.
Even make sure you apply body lotion to body..

Night once you come back from office…use some wet tissues to clean you face from dust which you got from outside… and apply almond oil and go for sleep.

Those who apply kajal, remove it properly and use wet tissue. And then massage almond below eyes so that there will b no dark circles.

Winters you have to take care of legs… apply krack cream and apply mustard oil to the lower feet massage and wear socks and go to sleep J

It all looks too much, but trust me this is all very much needed to take care of you skin and hair in winters…


Hope some tips help you in these J

Have a lovely winters….

Cracked Heels

Because of the footwear we use, it is very easy to get cracked heels during the summer months. Some people also develop a dirty, black layer of skin on their feet.
I have an easy suggestion to treat these conditions, but first a word of caution: If you have diabetes, you need to be extra careful when it comes to the health of your feet. Consult your doctor for any treatment you want to try. If you do not pay attention to your foot health you run the risk of life and limb.
Treating cracked heels and blackened feet
An easy six-step solution:
  1. Put shaving cream on your feet.
  2. In a bucket or sink, combine equal parts warm water and Listerine.
  3. Soak a small hand towel in the solution of water and Listerine.
  4. While the shaving cream is still on your feet wrap the wet hand towel around your feet and let it sit for 30 minutes.
  5. After 30 minutes, use the towel to rub your feet. Some of the calloused and discolored skin will rub off.
  6. Apply a healthy amount of lotion to your feet.
After your foot bath, is it a good idea to spend at least 5 minutes drying your feet. You want to make sure you do not put your socks and shoes on with your feet
still wet or damp (this can cause bacteria growth and infection). Use a towel to pat your feet dry and be sure to get in between the toes.
Also, give your feet a break from sandals (don't wear them every day) and apply lotion to your heels nightly to reduce cracking.
You can only use this method once a week or your feet will become very sore. Remember, this technique literally takes off a layer of skin.
Treating sore or smelly feet
Soak your feet in 1 gallon of warm water and 1 cap-full of bleach. This takes the soreness out of your feet and kills bacteria that cause the smelly feet.
You can only use this method three times a week.

In general, please pay attention to your feet. It is very easy to get a foot infection due to the fact that they get little air, they sweat, and they are in limited space in a shoe to move.
