Secondly I mix gycerine with rose water 1.5:1 ratio and use it as a mask, wash it off after 15 mins and BWOY it makes my skin supple and fresh and devoid of any dry flakes. :)
At times I try DIY baking soda and water paste as well as cucumber water soaked cotton pads to give my face an instant wake up look! :)

a very happy Valentine’s day! :) my favorite DIY for my skin is not just one but quite a few. I don’t really go to parlours for facials, etc. I do it myself using homemade packs and everything natural! I use fresh curd during the winters to heal dry skin and it makes my skin very supple and soft. also makes it look bright and fights acne since it contains salicylic acid. also I use coffee powder with a little bit of curd for exfoliation! does a great job. baking soda with water too! I use mashed strawberries and lemon to get rid of oily skin during summers! these are my favorite DIYs. my FB name is Oshin Fisheyes.
my favorite DIY for my skin is Honey-Oats Face Scrub which is so easy to prepare Combine 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon finely-ground almonds, 2 tablespoons dry oatmeal, and some lemon juice or yogurt to a luxurious and exfoliating facial scrub. Massage mixture gently onto the face, then rinse with warm water. This blend gives a deeply emollient cleansing to the pores on my face. Almonds and oats are superb softening exfoliants.
Happy Valentines Day to everyone! <3
wish to win :))

Cleanse – milk powder, besan and yoghurt. by mixing them and forming a paste and massaging onto the skin for 5mins. leave it for 2mins and wash off.
Scrubs: coffee beans, baking soda & yoghurt is equal quantities a scrubbing on the face for 2mins.

2.Mix 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt, ¼ banana (mashed with a fork) and 1 tablespoon raw honey. Apply to face and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing with cool water. The yogurt and banana will help exfoliate while the honey has antibacterial and moisturizing properties.
3.Mix 1 raw egg with 1 tablespoon of raw honey, cover your face with a layer of the mixture and let it dry for 15 to 20 minutes to tighten pores, tone the skin and kill bacteria, without drying your skin out.

9 Give your hair a surge of volume with a generous dose of beer. Yeast in beer plumps up tired tresses and gives it the joie de vivre it deserves. Apply half a cup of flat beer to clean damp hair. Let it sit for fifteen minutes and then rinse off to strengthen and structure your mane
10.Mix lemon juice, rose water and cucumber juice in a bowl. Apply to the affected areas. The acidity in the lemon juice will help to remove the tan and the cucumber and rose water will cool the skin down

For hair: take ONE BANANA AND MIX IT WITH HALF TEA SPOON HONEY.. keep MIXING AND YOU CAN ALSO ADD OLIVE OIL IF YOU WANT A SMOOTH MIXTURE.. APPLY IT ON YOUR HAIR FOR 30 MINUTES AND THEN RINSE. trust ME GUYS, THIS IS THE ONLY HAIR TREATMENT I DO AND IT HAS CHANGED THE TEXTURE OF MY HAIR COMPLETELY. IT WAS RECOMMEND BY MY STYLIST WHO IS MY CLOSE FRIEND ND I CAN’T THANK HER ENOUGH. (Oops caps lock was on) :P
For face also i use the same banana and honey mixture. This was recommended to me by my cousin and my cousin got to know it during her pre-bridal treatments in a salon. The lady told her that applying mixture of mashed banana and honey is the best facial treatmnet you can give to your skin. It adds natural glow to skin, prevents pre-mature aging, removes tan and gives bridal glow to face. What you have to do is apply this paste on your skin and pat your skin so that the mixture gets into the skin completely., I’m sure everyone must have heard about fruit facial, its the same and the parlor lady uses the same technique of patting.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway.. wish to get lucky <

first thankx for this lovely giveaway…..
My favourite DIY is –-Take the fresh banana and mesh the banana into smooth paste. Now add the same amount of butter to the meshed banana. Instead of butter you can add the
skimmed milk cream to the mesh banana. Mix the both ingredients well. Now apply this paste all over the face. The butter or skimmed milk cream is the natural moisturizer for the skin and prevents the dry skin. Banana act as the pack to keeps the moisture in the skin….And the most important…. WEAR HAPPINESS BECAUSE BY DOING SO YOU WILL BE WEARING BEAUTY …. DRINK LOTS OF WATER AT ATLEAST 10 GLASSES PER DAY …. DRINK 3 CUPS OF GREEN TEA A DAY ….. LAUGH A LOT BUT DONT LAUGH ALONE OR ELSE U WILL BE CALLED MAD ….LAUGH WITH NEAR AND DEAR ONES SO YOU CAN SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH THEM …. WHICH IN TURN MAKES YOU HAPPY …. EXERCISE AND WALK DAILY … TAKE THE STAIRS…. USE A GOOD SUNSCREEN EVEN WHEN YOU ARE AT HOME …. AND MOISTURIZE YOUR SKIN WITH A GOOD MOISTURIZER FREQUENTLY ….AND MOST IMPORTANT DONT WORRY JUST SMILE … SLEEP WELL….
