Aloe vera is that Ayurvedic product? Is mud mask useful for acne? I'll ask my mum about it. Can a male apply that on their face or is it only for women?

I do always wash my face with facewash cream before I go to sleep.

They have Derma recommended regime specifically for their skin and they follow that religiously. Plus, regular workout and diet(as per their body requirement) helps in clearing skin too.

By the way, I am a guy. I need a suggestion.

What should I do for my pimples, lines and dark spots/circles.

I started having them since 2013 but abhitak theek nehi hua even though I've gone through several treatments.

<font size="6">Kya karu ya na karu ye kaise mushkil Haye... :(</font>



You should invest in AHA/BHA creams.
-> clean your face with a facial wash -> use the AHA/BHA cream
-> tone your face -> moisturer or sunscreen (if in the day!!) DO NOT SKIP the last step, your skin will be stripped after the AHA/BHA cream.




Edit: all male stars wear makeup & if it's not foundation, it's at the very least concealer.

The best thing you can do for urself is eat home made food. As much fresh cooked as possible. Avoid tinned stuff, aerated drinks, smoking. Ghar ka Khana, jo Ma and Dadi / Nani khaya karti thi, that is the best food for everyone.

The more u keep ur inner health in shape, the more its shows on ur skin and ur hair.

that is the main thing these celebs also do, eat good freshly cooked food. But still they need help from cosmetic industry as their professional lifestyle has lots of health hazards. Mainly, shooting under the harsh flash lights for so many hours daily. Then traveling so much, plus also partying and socializing mostly due to work-related stuff.

edited : But yes the haldi-chandan ubtan that they talk about is all fake. The other day i read in an article that PC's monthly skin care routine is upto Rs. 80,000/- and just few days later there was a vid where she said she uses all home made Dadiji's nuska wala masks.

Tbh all such things are true for basics .
Drinking excess water eating fruits vegetables and regular exercise is first step for healthy skin.Makeup bhi healthy skin pe suit karta hai otherwise such layers of makeup can burn anybody skin
Can't say about sunscreen as it's not suitable for my super sensitive skin

Well, I trust the celebs as long as what they say sounds true or doable for me, within the limits of my personal tastes :p


I'll write down what I do for my 'beauty' care, it may not be working for everyone, but read it and try it if you like because whatever I try has worked I think and are 100% natural and have minimal/zero preparation procedures..


HAIR CARE


Coconut milk

Okay, this one involves a little procedure.. 😳 ..

1. Grate a coconut, as much amount as you desire because you can store this in a refrigerator for many days and use it for next time. But remember to store this milk in a glass container.
2. Soak the grated coconut in hot water, for 20-30 minutes - depends on your time/patience/schedules etc
3. Strain the 'milk' using a strainer or muslin cloth.
4. Apply the 'milk' to your hair from scalp to hair ends.
5. Leave it on for 20-40 minutes - depening on your mood/time/patience.
6. Wash your hair as usual with (preferably a mild) shampoo.



Kunkudkai -- IDK what this is called in hindi or english.. They're available in market. I wash my hair with it, it's a natural shampoo.


I alternate between coconut milk and kunkudkai and just shampooing - depends on my mood.


Essential oils --- I'm new to this, for starters, I've bought a cheap Rosemary Essential Oil and since it requires a 'carrier oil', I use it with olive oil. Oil my hair at night before I wash my hair with kunkudkai or shampoo. The smell of Rosemary is so relaxing so that's anyway a plus point.

IDK if I am seeing an improvement.. it has certainly improved, my hair but somehow I am unable to point my finger as to what about my haircare regimen has shown results.

Brush/comb your hair regularly. Atleast 2 times daily.

Sometimes, when you are in mood, you can run your fingers through hair and massage it - without any oil, just some massaging action will help... it feels relaxing anyway, whether it promotes hair growth or not!



SKIN CARE


1. Apply any fruit you can get your hands on. I'm seeerious! No procedures needed! Just apply the juice or pulp or mash it up and apply onto your face. Leave it for 20-40 minutes, and wash it off only with water. Do not apply soap or facewash immediately.
Notable mentions -- papaya, muskmelon, banana, black grapes, tomato, Kiwi. You can mix honey with any of these fruits(except tomato :/ )and apply or just apply them as they are

2. Okay, this is little weird but I drink chamomile tea, and I use the tea powder in the used teabags as a scrub :|

3. Since I regularly use coconut milk, I also use the grated coconut left over after straining the milk on my face... this one yields magical results for me :)

4. STEAM. Steam your face once a week.




And, some basics, must do's -

1. Sleep well - manage to get 7-8 hours sleep.
2. Drink water. 2-3 lts everyday
3. As cliche as it sounds - be happy, be at peace with self and life, try to lead a stress-free life. Stress , in this age and times is unavoidable, but a good healthy approach towards life would help immensely.
4. Stay physically active all through the day, apart from 1 hour of physical exercise everyday.
5. Eat well yaar, we've been studying since 4th class about 'balanced' diet and all that - eat all sorts of healthy food.



Okay I'm done ☺️ Whatever I've written here is only based on what I do so take it with a grain of salt :p


Have a healthy and beautiful life forumwasiyoo 😃

They repair your skin cells by penetrating and removes the dead skin too. But AHA /BHa peels turned my skin dark...I use TCA peels and my skin is glowing after that. So test before using any .
