Apply half tsp of anardana powder with one tsp of oatmeal mixed with 1 tsp of honey and buttermilk for 10 minutes and then scrub a little before you rinse. This will correct dark patches from the skin and improve the texture.

Here comes the egg to your rescue. If you need a face mask for dry skin, separate the egg and beat the yolk for the best hydrating face mask. For oily skin, use the egg white, honey and lemon and apply on face. For normal skin, whip up the entire beaten egg and apply on face for 30 minutes before rinsing it off.

Mix almond meal and aloe vera into a thick paste and apply on the face and neck in circular clock wise and anti clock wise motion. It cures redness and irritation and works as a gentle exfoliant.

Mix 1 tsp of wine and 1 tsp of milk and massage the face for around 15 minutes and then rinse off to get a glowing, healthy look. This is one effective face mask to have a wrinkle free look.

Make a smooth paste of papaya and honey and apply on face and neck. Blend well and scrub off after it dries out partially. You can also use besan with the mixture whic would act as a natural exfoliant. Besides, honey is known to lighten scars, papaya contains anti-ageing properties, anti bacterial properties.

Well, not exactly a face mask but this is one of the best remedies for acne free skin. Take a couple of grapes and slice them into half. Now, rub them over your face and neck followed by a cool water rinse for an easy facial cleanser.

There are a lot of hair removal methods that are claimed as easiest and fool proof ways to remove body hair.

Your skin can shed 30,000 to 40,000 dead cells per minute naturally. It is necessary to clean them off your skin so that your shaving process is smoother and silkier. Remember to be gentle to your skin while exfoliation.

Make sure you replace your cartridges after 3 or 4 uses to avoid the chances of cuts. A good way to identiy if the cartridge needs replacement is to check for the faded edges. If they are, head for a new one.

Fret not if you are out of shaving gel or down to last money, grab that conditioner on your bathroom shelf and have same results.

Vertical strokes are always suggested. Never go for horizontal strokes. However, shaving towards the direction of the hair growth or against it has been quite a controversial topic. Avoid confusions! At first, go for the downward stroke and then for the upward stroke if you have a sensitive skin.

Always keep your razors capped and covered to avoid dust and dirt to settle over it. If not taken care of, it could lead to cuts and skin infections.

Always moisturize your skin once you are done shaving whether or not you have a sensitive skin. An Aloe Vera gel Tor cream is a good one to go with.

Do not lie in fear about how to shave your legs and arms if they are flabby. It’s easy! Shaving on loose skin is risky. You can avoid slicing yourself by pulling your skin tight.

Do not keep it at you bathroom shelf. The heat and humidity in the bathroom can cause the skin to corrode and be ineffective faster than its usual life span.

My take on Nature’s Essence Papaya Facial Kit

Papaya Milk Cleansing Cream is very soothing and gentle on skin. After i washed it off, my skin felt very supple.
Papaya Exfoliating Scrub cleansed my skin quite well and my skin felt softer while the blemishes seemed to fade away.
Papaya Anti blemish cream lightened my skin tone and worked on my patches and pigmented skin. My skin felt refreshed but of-course, the patches didn’t vanish away after one use. It needs to be understood that we need to use the pack a couple of times to for a better skin.
Although, all the other contents worked well for me, but this Papaya de-pigmentation pack visibly took away the patches and made the skin glow and wonderfully healthy.
All in all, I quite like the product but let me remind, it would seem not to work if you use it just once expecting a blemish-free skin. Use it a couple of times to gain a glowing skin.

Usage:
Step 1:Gently massage the cream for 3-5 minutes for cleansing.
Step 2: Apply on blemished skin, massage gently and clean after 3-5 minutes.
Step 3: Gently massage the cream for 10-15 minutes and clean with wet cotton.
Step 4: Apply pack on wet face and leave for 15 minutes. Clean with fresh water. Apply sun magic before going out.
