Beautiful Hands and Fingers

Treat your hands and fingers with great care. The result will be beautiful hands and fingers. Homemade techniques are so simple and so pampering. Give one day for your hands and pamper them. Here I am sharing how you can spend few hours with your hands and give love to them. This way you can have beautiful hands and fingers.

Think that this a holiday for you. Be free from all other activities. Make sure that you will get few hours undisturbed. Say goodbye to phone for these time. Put on enough lights. Play some slow music. ( I am a fan of lounge music) Arrange two medium bowls and one plastic bowl. We need one fresh lemon, one cooked potato, almond oil, oats powder, sugar and coconut oil.

Get two cotton socks. Wet it in cold water. Wear this socks on both hands. Give sometime to listen to music or engage in some other things. After 10 or 20 minutes remove the socks and wash your hands. Now take 2-3 glasses of water in the plastic bowl. Add two or three spoons of lemon juice to it. Dip your hands in it and play making waves. Now a few minutes passed. Take your hands out and tissue dry it. Then take the small bowl. Add two or three tsp. coconut oil, 1 tsp. sugar and 1 tsp. oats powder. Mix well. Apply this on your hands and do a slight rubbing in circular motion. Massage each finger and press it. This will form shapes to fingers. Rubbing will exfoliate the dead skin. Do it for few min. At this time if you want you can clean your nail and cuticles with tools. Then wash your hands and blot hand with towel tissue. Now in another bowl smash the cooked potato. Add two spoons almond oil. Apply this pack on both hands. Leave it like that for another ten min.

Then rinse off hands in cold water and dry it with soft tissue. Feel the smoothness and light smell and get beautiful hands. Do pampering hands twice in a month minimum to get beautiful hands and fingers.

Body Bath for Skin Care

Bath is an effective beauty therapy for the proper maintenance of skin. If you are using soap, do not take very hot water. It will damage oil glands. Fresh lukewarm water is best for taking bath.

In case of any skin disease use a medicated, disinfectant soap. Ordinary soaps are not disinfectant. In summer take bath twice a day, to wash off sweat and grease. Use of soap should be discontinued in case of dry skin, in winters and in advanced age. Bath can be taken in running water, standing water in tubs, under shower or with steam.

Sandalwood paste keeps the body mildly fragrant and refreshed throughout the day. For this take sandalwood powder, mix rose water and make a paste and apply in thick coat. Leave it for 15 min let it dry then take bath.

To lighten a dark complexion a simple home remedy is this; take oat flour tied in a kerchief or napkin dip it in unboiled (raw) milk and rub on the body twice a week. Slowly skin acquires a lighter tint. For unwanted hair scrub with gram flour.

Steam bath

Steam bath is effective for reducing fat but has no practical utility as it does not clean the skin. Very hot steam may leave an adverse effect on the heart. Blood vessels expand permanently due to steam and sweat glands become overactive.

Sun bath

Rays of the sun are a rich source of vitamin D which strengthens the body with calcium and phosphorus. But if there is hot climate long exposure to these rays is harmful. Face and head should be covered while other parts of the body could be exposed. Too much exposure can activate the brain adversely. It can cause wrinkles and falling of hair. it is advisable to drink one liter water with a lemon or two squeezed in it.

I am getting enquiries asking about home remedies to clear the back acne. This is affecting ladies and gents as well. Back acne is similar to acne on face. On face we have to care about the product we use. But for back acne no need to worry about that. Bit if unattended it can become puss producing.

There are so many homemade herbal remedies available to treat body acne. But the neem I found very effective to cure back acne. In villages the neem tree is seen in the front yard of houses. It is believed very good to get the fresh air from neem leaves. It will purify the atmosphere or it will keep the air healthy.

How to make this pack. If you can get fresh neem leaves get few bunches of it. Or you can buy neem herbal powder. For leaves pluck the leaves and put it in a mixer/grinder and add some water. Make it a paste and add a pinch of turmeric powder. Mix well. As a whole it should be a medium loose paste.

Clean the body well. Towel dry and apply homemade back acne pack on the back of body. Leave it for 20-25 min. Then wash it off. This back acne home remedy you can use it daily for one or two weeks or till the back acne disappears.
