GRANNY’S ‘CHEER UP’ TIPS!

No need to feel high and dry anymore. No need to suffer from rough and itchy skin every time the season changes. No need to feel miserable at the sight of rough shins, hands and face. Celebrate…Granny has some wonderful home-grown tips to pamper your skin this season.
Massage your face with a paste of 2-3 drops of rose water in 2 tbsp cream of milk. Keep it for 20 mins. before washing it off.

Egg yellow mixed with 3 tbsp of cream of milk is an effective face pack. Avoid the area under eyes, and wash it off your face with basin flour once it has dried.

Bananas have great food value, even for the skin. Mash a very ripe banana, massage on face for 5 minutes. Wait for 15 mins to allow the banana to work before washing it off.

Keeping a mixture of honey in milk cream applied to your face for an hour works well. Take care to wash off with warm water.

Milk is a natural moisturizer. Apply just one tbsp of milk daily on your face and neck before a bath to keep skin soft forever.

Add 10-12 drops of coconut oil in your bath water to add moisture and shine to your body.

A bedtime regimen should include applying cold cream to face and hands, and washing off after 15 mins.

Make a paste of fresh butter, besan and olive oil. Apply it to the face every morning and evening for at least a month. Wash off with warm water to witness the magic!

Dry skin has a natural antidote in avocado masks. Mash the flesh of avocado, add a touch of olive oil and apply on your face to feed your skin with minerals, vitamins and antioxidants.

During winter, go in for a mask of buttermilk, yoghurt & sour cream. Apply on face and neck avoiding eye areas. Your body will feel smooth, soft and fresh.

Beet root juice can be massaged on to your face for 5 minutes. Shower it off with a mild soap.
An exotic mixture of sandalwood powder, rose water and 4-5 drops of milk can be applied to the face and body. Shower after 15 mins with warm water.

Warm honey and lemon juice make a good mask. Let it dry and wash off subsequently.

Avoid hot water baths. Long showers remove dead skin effectively.

Grated carrot paste or a paste of turmeric and milk cream keeps skin glowing and breathing.

Cracked heels can be healed with an application of liquid paraffin wax mixed with mustard oil. Apply every night for smooth heels.

Drink lots of water and use a humidifier in room to balance loss of moisture in the air.
