Do turmeric, gram flour and water paste really work to remove facial hair?
Using gram flour for hair removal is a very slow way to remove facial/body hair but the real deal is it helps inhibit hair growth and also: when the hair does fall off, it will take ages to grow back (unlike when you shave or pluck) and in some people it doesn’t even grow back at all.A paste made with gram flour, turmeric and water/rosewater/milk has been traditionally used in the Indian subcontinent to remove facial/body hair.How it Works – Gram Flour for Hair RemovalYou might be wondering how in the world gram flour can help in getting rid of facial/body hair. Here are the few ways:Gram flour dries up on skin very fast. Once the gram flour hair removal mask is completely dry, use your fingers/ a dark coloured wash cloth to rub the mask off, away from the direction of the hair growth.It is a perfect exfoliating agent which will help remove off tiny facial hairs.Coupled with turmeric powder/tea tree oil, it helps inhibit hair growth.Note: The hair we’re talking about is the light/thin/small body hairs found on the arms, legs or face. Gram flour hair removal will not work for getting rid of thick/very long hair like the hair on your scalp.Applying gram flour mixed with other ingredients on your skin is said to gradually inhibit hair growth.You might experience thinner, weaker and shorter body hairs, as opposed to thick and wiry body hair from shaving. Keep in mind that this is a very slow process but totally worth it from the results! Who doesn’t want thinner and shorter body hairs?! For some people, the body hairs even stop growing eventually. There’s nothing to lose using these masks for just 10-15 minutes every time you remove your body hairs.How do you use these gram flour hair removal masks? Just shave your hair as usual then apply the mask for about 15 minutes in the shower and rinse off. You can also apply any of the masks after plucking or waxing.
Does the remedy that uses turmeric for acne really works?
I have very bad acne, i have cystic acne and its hereditary. I have used almost everything, basically everything that you can buy at the store and i even used proactive which i stopped using two weeks ago. It was clearing up my skin for the first few months then it just stopped working and made my skin break out even more. I needed something new to treat my acne and i found out about turmeric. I use the remedy that has milk, honey, and of course turmeric. I wanna know does it really work for ACNE and how long does it take in order to see a difference. I accidentally bought pure honey instead of raw or organic honey and i wanna know is pure honey ok to use or it has to be either one of the other honeys. I also wanna add in that i drink lots of water and i watch what i eat. I added that because people always think what you eat can give you acne but in my opinion when its hereditary its not necessarily true because if it was i would rarely have a bump on my face.
Has anyone ever tried Revitol Scar cream to help with post acne marks? Is it effective?
It will help, but you have to use it for many weeks or even months to see a difference. There are a few things you can try. Apply cocoa butter to the scars. Studies have shown that regular application of cocoa butter helps to fade scars more rapidly than some other creams on the market. Also, look for creams that contain naturally healing ingredients, such as shea butter, jojoba oil, castor oil and rose hip oil. Try an over-the-counter medication such as Mederma, which is specially designed to treat scars. (Any cream that is designed to get rid of scars will work.) Healing time generally takes up to six months before any significant improvement will occur. Talk to your dermatologist about Retin-A topical creams. These creams have been shown to greatly reduce the appearance of scars. Retinal creams encourages cell turnover. The new cells then take the place of older, scarred cells. Retin-A requires a prescription. Start dermabrasion treatments. A licensed professional will use a dermabrasion device to treat the scars. Tiny crystals on the end of the device essentially buff away the top layers of your skin. With repeated treatments, you will see a noticeable improvement. Expect your skin to be a bit red and irritated after each treatment. Have a look here. You will find dozens of recipes for homemade skin care products. You will find several that could help you with this. One thing you could try is a simple dermabrasion. Mix a little sugar with some olive oil and rub it into your skin. It should help. http://www.smartskincare.com/tips/tipcat...
What can I do to make my skin whiter?
Point no 1: Nothing can make skin whiter, instead skin can be made better by improving it's complexion and by reducing the darkening of the skin.Point no 2: If you want to make your skin whiter then you have to go in for other costlier treatments, for which you need professionals to treat you.There are few methods that actually work, but let me say one best method so as to justify my point no 1.Green gram flour - 1 table spoon.Turmeric - 1/2 table spoon.Lemon juice - as required.Mix well to make a paste, apply it on anywhere other than your face, let it reside for 5- 10 minutes.This is an organic scrubber, gently scrub on the applied area for some 2–3 minutes then rinse off with normal water.Take coconut oil gently massage on the scrubbed area as it helps to hydrate the skin.Uses:Gram flour helps to exfoliate your skin.Turmeric aids in improving complexion.Lemon acts as a bleaching solution.Organic scrubber helps in getting rid of dead skin cells.Coconut oil acts as a moisturizer.The below picture is the proof of how this mix actually works.Before using , while using, after using images.It nearly took 4 months to see a drastic change in the skin complexion as it reduced the darkening of the skin.This method is purely based upon my own trial, there are so many people here who gives so many home remedies on how things work, but this time I made a step ahead in bringing about the proof for my answer.NOTEThe organic scrubber has to be soaked in water for atleast 12 hours before using it for the very first time.Hope this works for others too.Image source : My phone gallery.
