Fairness Skin Whitening Treatment

Recently I am getting mails asking to suggest natural tips to increase the fairness of face and body. Those who are with moderate fairness sometimes they get dark face or dark skin on hands etc. Due to so many various reasons their skin does not show the full fairness. Occasionally they seems less fair. It is natural to think about ways to get back their fairness. So today I am suggesting a package for fairness skin whitening treatment. I said it is a package means it should be done in one or two weeks as a single course. So this will give an assured result.

Fairness tips
I suggests a four step routine. These fairness tips should be followed one by one with suitable interval. During the process you should take care of sun exposure, usage of other chemicals, soaps etc. During the interval time you should use suitable sun screen when going out in the sun. Stop using harsh soaps. Avoid skin bleach and unsure store bought products.

Fairness Skin Whitening Treatment
In this first step I bring forward the homemade skin peel. During this stage the dead cells on your face will be removed as a layer. This will promote new cells to form on the face. As it is natural and we are not using chemical peel there will not be any harm in it. The result will be moderate and it is adequate. So go for the tip "homemade skin peel". After doing this skin peel give an interval of minimum three days. For these days take care of your skin as I said above. Use a natural moisturizer like aloe vera. After three days do the second step.

Fairness Skin Whitening Treatment
In this stage you are using natural scrub. Here we are scrubbing out any extra dead cells. Also smoothening the surface of skin also takes place. Here we don't need a thorough scrubbing. Just use the natural scrub very mildly. So here is the tip for "natural scrub". After this also use moisturizer. After three days go to the next step. The intervals you can make weekly if you want.

Fairness Skin Whitening Treatment# Tip Three
During this step you are going to make your skin more fair and a skin whitening will take place.
How to get skin whitening naturally-here goes the tip, "natural skin whitening". The purpose of this step is to get more complexion. If does properly this step will rejuvenate your skin. If you are not happy with the result repeat this step with an interwal of one day.

Fairness Skin Whitening Treatment
Here we are doing this step after just one day from the above step. Preferably do this step on evening. Here skin tightening will takes place. If there is a tendency of sagging or wrinkles this step will take care of that. So do the "skin tightening". After one hour removing the skin tightening pack just put any cold cream very lightly and go to sleep. Next day morning wash face with cold water.

Using these four Fairness Skin Whitening Treatment Tips you can get back your fairness.

Considering all these factors I told her that I will prepare a suitable fruit pack for her.

She made all the strands loose and removed all the knots etc. from hair. It is so good. Because I added green gram flour in the hair pack it is better to apply oil on hair first.

Hibiscus Shampoo

No need to spent money for shampoo

Believe me, there is no need to spent for a shampoo. Do you have a hibiscus plant in your courtyard? Then you can save money. Just like every others I also tried so many brands of shampoos. Nothing seems suitable for my hair type. Some shampoos makes my hair too dry. The conditioner makes my hair too stiff. Conditioner gives a thick sticky and stiff coating over the hair which I don't like. Herbal shampoo also I am not satisfied with.

Because of all these matters I finally decided to keep away from shampoos and conditioners. If I want to wash my hair I use shampoo just like a soap liquid. Then I deeply put oil and get moisturized. But still my hair look not very healthy. Just like every others because of busy schedule I did not bother about this.

Few weeks back one of my client called and asked for any shampoo that she can use. She won't use any shampoo and prefer some natural homemade shampoo. I prescribed to use hibiscus leaves as shampoo. Let me tell you the next day morning she called me again to say thanks. She used the hibiscus shampoo and the result was amazing.

Apply a little oil before bathing is fine. After wetting hair apply hibiscus shampoo. If you have dry hair certainly apply some oil. Otherwise it may make it more dry latter. Do smart rubbing on scalp and hair with this shampoo. Do this for five min. Then rinse
