DIY Face Pack to Prevent Acne, Reduce Scars & Brighten Skin in ONE Month

diy acne brightness face pack

Time flies by so quickly! That is exactly what I felt as I was flipping through my old photo albums a few days ago. To a great many of you, photo albums might be a thing of the past. Right? Mobile phones, sorry SMART phones with cameras have long replaced photo albums. Well I am not whining but somewhere the charm and innocence that that era of 90s had where watching photos in family get-togethers was a grand affair itself coupled with a piping hot cup of tea and light banter, is missing today.

Anyway, while going through one such album of mine, I saw my childhood pictures. The first thing that exploded in my mind was to set “some” of those hideous photos to fire but I resisted the temptation for they reminded me of how I can look hideous and pose like a diva back in childhood unlike these days when a minor flaw must be concealed to look picture – perfect!

Oh nostalgia! Finally, I came across one picture of mine which was taken immediately after I recovered from a degenerative bout of what might be the top cause of me locking myself in my room today. Without further ado, let me confess it was ACNE!

Apart from the routine medication and mom’s unstinted efforts to rid me off it, I remember my maternal grandmother’s “gharelu nuskha” (home remedy) to rid me off its scars.  And thanks to mom’s and granny’s efforts, I recovered well. So, I thought of penning the same remedy for you all.

Arya Vaidya Sala Kumkumadi Thailam Review

kumkumadi tailam

Being a south Indian, Ayurvedic products have not been unknown to me. I have been accustomed to using exotic herbs and oils from childhood. The role of Ayurveda in beauty has not been known enough in my opinion. One product that deserves a lot of appreciation is Kumkumadi Thailam. This product has been there from a long time but somehow did not get enough of importance that it truly deserves.

However in recent times, certain luxury brands have revived it and popularized it and everyone has been raving about it since then. Today however I am introducing you to a product that is the authentic kumkumadi thailam!

Ethicare Remedies Haul : Photos and First Impressions

ethicare remedies product haul

Hey people!

I recently hauled some skin care products from Ethicare Remedies, which is one of the very trusted brands suggested by dermatologists. I picked the products from their ‘skin lightening’ range this time. Though I’m not someone who’s into skin lightening, I wanted these so badly as I want to get rid of my leftover chickenpox marks as fast as possible! They are already gone by 90% but I want to get rid of them all to get back my clear skin!

I also want to vanish my uneven-even tan caused due to swimming for a long time in chlorinated water under the sun! (At Kishkinta, Chennai. Never going there again!) I’ve already started using a couple of products from my haul and they are reacting good. Today, I’m sharing my haul and photos with you!

turmeric curd face pack

Hello everyone!

Hope everyone is doing great. So here I am back with another DIY post. This post is about homemade face packs to treat uneven or patchy skin tone. All woman desires for long lustrous hair and flawless radiant complexion. But often we notice few patches on our skin or sun spots, skin redness etc. Our skin tone becomes patchy or uneven. Skin darkening is very embarrassing.

We do not feel beautiful. And it makes us look unhealthy and tired. It also gets difficult to apply make up on our skin if the complexion is uneven. Various factors like busy lifestyle, pollution, unhealthy habits, ageing, hormonal changes, long exposure to sun and stress lead to skin darkening. While extreme cases need to be taken care by medication and cosmetic treatment, moderate skin darkening can be cured by few home remedies.

Here I am going to share four homemade face packs that will help you to get back your even skin tone.
