Swati Saini’s Query:

Hello Lancy,

First of all, I love reading your blog. All the DIY recipes here are awesome and very practical. Keep it up! I have a queries about my hair. I have fine straight, a bit wavy hair. I got them rebonded 1 year back. And since then hair fall is a routine. I am trying my best to combat it and also grow my hair long so that rebonded hair can be replaced.

I use olive oil, castor oil and coconut oil mixed with few drops of essential oil twice weekly in hot oil massage. Currently I use The Body Shop Rainforest Moisture range for my hair. It is working fine but hair fall is still continuing.

Most of the hair fall occurs during oiling, shampooing and detangling. So could you suggest me some hair detangler or serum/oil which is silicone free. Most of the products have silicone but I am not sure if it is good or not. And also I would love to find out some cheaper alternative, which is also sls and silicone free.

Please reply. Thanks!

Hi dolls!

How are you all? I am new to MABH and so I am super excited about my first article here. Today I am sharing a magic recipe with you all. This is homemade cashew and almond lip scrub. This scrub helped me a lot to get rid of dry and dead cell layers on the pouts. This scrub also helped me to reduce dark black patches on my lips. This is definitely a very easy to make formula but truly it has done magic to my lips. Please go through to know more.

Ingredients:

Note : I have used here Humdard rogan badam sirin (almond oil) and I am using a local brand as very known rose water – Dabur gulabri jal doesn’t suit me at all.

Johnson’s Baby Skincare Wipes Review

5 Replies

Hi friends!

I am back with my second product review. This wipes are my best friends since I got into college and I cannot stop admiring them. Skin wipes become your skin’s best friend once you start travelling daily (going to office or college). There are so many good skin wipes available in Indian market these days. But sadly none of them were suitable for my skin. I did not like the soapy feelings left on the face after using most of the products. I felt the urge of washing off the face with water even after using the wipes and then what is the purpose of using them at all? When I saw the advertisement of this product, I was ready to give a try. I felt that a baby product has to be mild for the skin and hoped it will be better than the rest.

Price : Rs.65 for 20 pieces; Rs.190 for 80 pieces

Skin Damaged due to Excessive Scrubbing : Read Query

Gujral’s Query:

Hi MABH readers,

My skin used to be glowing and smooth but due to sun tanning it turned dull. I used a homemade ubtan and it worked well. It cleared my blemishes and made my skin bright. After getting an advice from a friend, I scrubbed my skin for 10-12 minutes harshly while removing the ubtan. In few weeks, my skin turned very dull again. Now, my homemade ubtan recipe which consists of sandalwood powder, rose water and cream doesn’t work anymore! Is my skin dead? or damaged? Kindly let me know how can I get my original skin texture and complexion back. Thanks a lot in advance!

5 Tan Removal Recipes that Worked for ME! : Usage and Photos

18 Replies

Hello Everyone,

Time for another DIY post and this post is for all those who suffer from tanning throughout the summer. This is truly frustrating. Most of the time we take all the precautions like applying sunscreen and using umbrella, but we cannot escape tanning. When I was in my school and college, I suffered heavily from tanning. I just used to ignore it. Once my college life got over, I had a break for 3-4 months before I got my first job. And it was during that break, I noticed my arms, feet, neck had lost their complexion and I am severely tanned. This was so bad. I just had to do something and I started searching madly for ways to de-tan myself. Lots & lots of beauty magazines, internet.. I kept no stone unturned. And at that time, I came across a few homemade tan removal recipes that worked wonders for me.

Today I’m going to share few of those amazing homemade sun tan removal packs & scrubs.

Tan Removal Facial At Home : 4 Easy Steps

12 Replies

This is the time of the year I hate at Kolkata. It rains at times and it is too sunny otherwise. Hectic college schedule is as usual on and it is nearly impossible to come back home dog tired and again go back to some parlor for skin care. But the festive season is just a month away. And if you are not looking pretty during the Pujas (Bengalis and their Durga Puja.. I hope you all know about it) Well, you are not a true Indian!!

This is the time I get this facial done at home, using stuffs I find in kitchen. It helps me to get rid of my tans and also gives bright glow. The fun part is you can do it once a week if you feel like too. I think any lazy bums like me can try this awesome facial regime.

Four Steps:

Cleansing : Well, nothing can beat besan and milk mixture as a cleanser. The lactic acid in milk acts wonderfully on the tanned skin. Mix some besan and milk to make a paste. Use it massage your face in circular motions. If it feels too dry, take a little rose water. Continue this process for five to ten minutes, and then wash off properly and pat dry your face. You will see loads of tan spots reduced and a glow on your face already.
