Garlic for pimple relief

vidhya — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 03:58:09 +0000

I have this pimple sort of thing at the tip of my nose and it is very very irritating. Although I havent done enough to make it go away….one of my friends suggested a remedy.

She says….crush garlic and apply the juice on the pimple like outgrowth and it will disappear soon…

I have not yet tried it…but I dont see any harm in trying it ….

If it works for anyone….thanks to my friend!!!

After squeezing a lemon dont throw away the cup like structure of the lemon peel. Pour a few drops of coconut oil into it and rub it on your elbows, knees and any other portion of skin which is darkened…..it helps lghten and soften the skin.

Coconut oil moisturiser

vidhya — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 18:30:00 +0000

Instead of using any moisturisers or creams for the skin, try this…
as soon as you finish bath pat yourself with a towel ( do not rub away the water)
then apply coconut oil all over your body on the supple moist skin.
This would do…no need of any moisturiser…
I tried this and found it very good.
the coconut oil does not make the skin sticky…it evaporates after sometime. but the skin does not become dry.
It seems if this is practised continuously, over time the skin texture changes naturally….
I think thats great…one of the easiest remedies to do away with dry skin.

Hair and skin conditioning

vidhya — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 18:30:00 +0000

1. After washing your hair pour milk all over it. Leave it for 2 minutes and then rinse it out for shiny long hair.

2. Soak a few almonds in milk overnight. Grind them and mix with honey. Use this as a face or body scrub.

3. You could add a little milk to your bath water and bathe normally for soft skin.
Use preboiled unpaturised milk as a liquid pack on your face. Milk is a natural bleaching agent and nourishes the skin. It is also a skin softener.

4. Skin glow mask: soak tamarind in water for sometime. Grind and mix it with little besan. Apply it on your face,body and hands. Keep it for 10 minutes and wash it off. Your skin will have a golden glow.

vidhya — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 18:30:00 +0000

Dont know how many of these tips really work…and also what I find is,…some of them work for some people and some dont..So I guess it also depends from eprson to person…Here goes…

In order to reduce dark circles under your eyes, Put a warm teabag on them.

Make a paste from a teaspoon of tomato juice, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, a pinch of turmeric powder and a pinch of gram flour. Apply under eyes for 10 minutes.

Grate some cucumber and freeze in an ice tray. Massage frozen cucumber cubes onto eyes to reduce puffiness and dark circles.

Apply cotton balls soaked in cucumber juice or potato juice around the eyes.

Add some mint leaves, lemon juice, and salt to tomato juice and drink.

Take some vasoline, put it on a metal spoon and freezes it for 15 minutes. Apply it to the eyes for a few minutes.

Increase fibre consumption to at least 30 gms a day, and drink at least two litres of water.
