Facial for Acne Scars
For a beautiful face sometimes acne/pimples become a remarkable trouble. Not only acne, acne scars also bother our beauty. If the acne comes very closer to each other and leave scars, it may become a black patch or spready shade on the cheeks. You may happen in a confusion about what to do in this difficult situation. There are a lot of products available in the market to remove acne or pimples. But products for removing scars are normally appear ineffective. One thing we have to understand is that the mark or spot has come as the after effect of acne not in a day. So it will take time to remove the mark.
Here is a facial at home to remove or diminish the acne scars on the face. As said you have to do this facial for a period of at least one or two months. The main ingredient in this facial is saffron and red sandal powder. These two things have the capacity to remove scars gradually as it is natural. Let us see how to do this special facial for acne scars!
Preparation
Oats powder - 5-10 tsp
Red sandal powder - 1 pinch
Saffron - 2 or 3 pinches
Fresh milk - 5tsp. or as required
The quantity of ingredients can be adjusted as per your requirement. Nothing to worry about that. The red sandal powder should be in less, as it makes the skin dry. If you are with dry skin then add two tsp. olive oil also. Anyway mix all the ingredients well and make it a thick paste by adding enough milk.
Facial steps
1. Cleansing: Use fresh milk to cleanse the face. Soak cotton ball in the milk and rub all over the face.
2. Toning: Use orange to rub on the face. Then wipe the face with wet tissue.
3. Scrubbing: Use the saffron/oats thick paste as the scrub. Take the scrub on the fingers and do circular rub on the face in an upward motion. Do it all over the face. Then wipe the face again.
4. Facial: Take a little of the thick paste and add more water or milk to make it a loose paste. Apply this and do a light massage on the face. Continue this facial massage for four min. then wash the face with cold water.
5. Facial pack: Take the thick paste and apply on the face as face pack. Allow it on the face for not more than 7min. Then wash it off.
You have to do it twice in a week for one or two moths. This will not give an instant result. You have to do it consistently. This will remove the existing scars and certainty it checks the formation of scars in future. So it is a preventive treatment also.

Dry skin to a fresh look
Yours may be a combination skin. But sometimes it may become dry and looses its freshness. Or your skin is dry in nature. For both the cases here is an instant remedy to make the dryness of skin to a fresh and new look. I do not remember whether I wrote this tip before. Anyway I am going to reveal the secret (nothing secret after I reveal).
The dryness may be caused by climatic conditions or the food you eat etc. If you correct the food habits it can be checked gradually. Here I suggest an instant solution with very common food items as ingredients. The main ingredients are oats, milk, sugar and tomato paste.
Preparation
At first make thick tomato paste. We require two tbsp. of tomato paste. Take three tsp. (or as required) of oats powder. Add two tsp. milk powder and one tsp. sugar powder. Mix everything and make a paste by adding water. Finally add the tomato paste and mix well.
Application
Wash the face with water. Apply the pack all over the face and neck. Wait for 10-15 min. Do not allow the pack to become dry on the face. then wash it off. If your face is extremely dry then apply lightly any oil before applying this pack. Repeat it twice in a week. During this time drink fruit juices. Avoid acidic juices like lemon.

At home foot pampering tipsOne day when you are free keep some time for
foot pampering. For this you may need one large bowl. In the bowl fill with warm water. Add lemon slices. Add rose petals or few drops of rose oil. If you have forming gel add that also. Now dip your feet and splash the water to form bubbles. Keep both legs on this water for another 10 min. Now take out one foot and put on the knee of the other leg. Now you can use scrub. For that mix 4tsp.of green gram flour, 2tsp.of sugar powder, almond oil and sandalwood powder. Use this as a scrub. Scrub all over the foot with light or medium pressure.

Take out both the feet and towel dry. If you want you can cut your nails and give shape to them. Now you can apply any moisturizer or cold cream on both feet. I prefer some natural moisturizer. Use crushed avocado fruit pulp. Apply all over the feet and wait for 10 min. Then wash it off, towel dry. Now you can go for nail polish.

Acne
Acne is a skin disease commonly seen in youths. The oily skin gives a typical atmosphere to acne. Sometimes acne gives an odd look to many faces. So it should be controlled or treated.
Treatment
Cleanliness is the best and first step to avoid acne. Normally the sebaceous gland produces more oil or sebum and it clogs the pores. The bacteria grows in an oily spots. So clean your skin frequently to avoid acne.
You should give care to not scratch the pimples. When you scratch there is a chance to get bacterial infection which leads to get scars or marks.
If you clean your face but your hair and scalp is oily, then also a chance to get acne. The oils in the scalp may spreads to forehead and neck through long hair. So shampoo your hair properly. during this time do updo hairstyles instead of hair going in front side of face.
And control your food habits. Avoid oily and fried foods. Avoid chocolates and sweets.

Tips on homemade hair dyes.
Natural/Herbal dyes ------ herbal dyes are not permanent.
Herbs used to make homemade hair dyes are---- henna, walnut bark and tea leaves.
Mehandi (henna) leaves are ground to a powder. Adding water make a paste and apply it. Let it dry and wash with cold water. It is to be used twice during one application as it does not give colour in the first attempt.
Walnut bark; soak it into water for 12 hours. Strain it put a little ammonia. This dye gives light brown tint and is not very attractive.

NATURAL HAIR TONIC
In our scalp there are a lot of scalp glands which secret natural oil. This will spread through hair and gives shine and softness to hair. It is good to brush your hair that helps the oils to spread all over.
The correct method to brush your hair is to bend yourself down from the waist, draw your hair down and brush from the back of the scalp to downwards. This ensures a fast circulation of blood in the scalp. Brushing should start from the forward part, then backward part and then the side. Slow brushing keeps the greasiness of hair intact.
If already oily hair are brushed with quick movements or for longer duration, the oil glands get activated and start secreting more oil. Moreover, if you have weak, thin and very soft hair, brush slowly.
If your hairs are too oily, stick a piece of cotton wool in the bristles of your brush, extra grease will be removed.
