Beauty Secrets by PrettySam

Hello, my dear readers, as you know my blog is about how to take care of yourself, your skin and hair, but I do believe that every joyful face is a beautiful face, Beauty is Joy.💮💮

If a person is joyful, happy and positive towards life no matter how he or she looks you always want to be with him/her because everyone wants to cherish the life with positive people and we don’t want to live our lives negatively at all.✌💗

You have shown so much love to my earlier post. Your love and comments motivate me to write and explore more. Thank you so much.🙏

Today I am writing about something that we all have in our home, i.e. in the kitchen, where’s true magic happen. It’s the place where we have our real treasure that is spices; any dish is incomplete without spices.

These spices build the taste in food as well as help in making your immunity strong. Some of the spices are too used to enhance skin texture and strong hair.

We always keep looking for organic products with maximum benefits. So I am sharing these five spices from my kitchen.

My First favourite Turmeric (Haldi) Facepack

Turmeric is one of the members of ginger. It is in bright yellow and orange. We use this turmeric powder in our dishes to give colour and for a boost in the immunity.

Turmeric is a natural antiseptic and antibacterial properties. So it helps in healing the wounds too.For skin, it helps in curing acne, pigmentation, discolouration or uneven tone.

You can use pure turmeric powder in water as a face pack or can make mix pinch of turmeric in aloe vera gel and almond oil or you can just use a little on the pigmentation or acne area.  

Yes, it will leave a yellow colour on your face but we are going nowhere in this quarantine so I don’t mind looking yellow or you can use face wash too, after applying it for 20 minutes.

Saffron: Who doesn’t like saffron!!! One of the expensive spice as it include the labour cost and time involved in farming. Saffron is a powerful antioxidant.

In India, Kashmir and Rajasthan are famous for Saffron farming. Saffron is golden in colour and has an exotic aroma; many Asians and Mediterranean countries use it in their dishes, to give colour and aroma in sweets, desserts and especially in rice.

How to use saffron as a face pack

Mix saffron in two or three spoons of milk, make a paste of it use it as a face pack for uneven tone and under eye dark circles too.

Now this one is my favourite face mask, Mix saffron in sandalwood powder and honey with milk for removing tan, uneven tone and pigmentation. 

Cinnamon face pack

Cinnamon has medicinal properties, loaded with antioxidants. It's so perfect it can make any dish so delicious especially the cinnamon sugar frosting on the banana cake. Yum! 😋

So mix a pinch of cinnamon in honey, put it on the acne only it will cure the acne because of its antibacterial properties.

Use banana, honey and pinch of cinnamon powder for clear skin. As cinnamon has skin lightening properties. It also helps to remove dark spots from skin.

Fenugreek seeds for face and hair

Fenugreek is a herb which is widely used in Indian dishes. Its seeds are used in cooking and its leaves are too eaten in India.

Soak the little fenugreek seeds in the water for a night then blend it with the yoghurt and apply on face for curing the uneven tone and pigmentation.

Don’t throw away the water drink it as it cures the digestive system too.

For healthy hair, you can grind the soaked fenugreek seeds and apply this paste on your scalp to get rid of dandruff.

Curry Leaves for hair and face pack

Curry leaves are widely used in Indian dishes. These leaves have a medicinal effect too. It is full of vitamins and minerals. These leaves cure constipation, it drops the cholesterol level and aroma is so good and I just love eating Greens.

Grind the curry leaves mix this paste with the fuller’s earth powder it will cure the acne and uneven tone. Best face pack for oily skin so far to cure acne.

Heat the coconut oil and put some curry leaves in heated oil, leave it for a few minutes to cool down and filter it then store it in a glass jar. Apply it three times a week on your hair. This oil prevents hair fall, promote hair growth too.

In the earlier post, I have discussed the reason for hair loss and cure. I hope you liked it. Some of my dear readers got very emotional after reading it.🌸

I just want to say that Physical beauty is not everything “Physical beauty will vanish one day but the knowledge, the talent that we have earned in our life will remain there” that is what we transfer to our young generation.💗

I like to read and write about healthy living, this is my own experience that I love to share with you.Just do what you love. As I Say Love, Live, Laugh.🌹

The method is to heat the oil a little in a bowl and than apply hair oil using cotton directly on the scalp.

Be cautious, heat the oil just for a second, otherwise scalp will burn down.I also did this mistake 😜😜

I use lukewarm oil because it helps to moisturize the scalp and hair and it's all up to you that you want to warm up the oil or not. 

Best oil for hair growth: Almond oil, Wild apricot oil Amla oil, Jojoba oil, Grape seed Oil, Olive oil and my personal favorite Coconut Oil this is the most favorite hair oil in every Indian house that I have seen so far and also our grandmother’s favorite hair oil too.😄😄 

This is how I use coconut oil for my hair. I have thin and naturally straight hair so this hair oil makes my hair thick and shiny too.

Coconut oil: This oil is best for hair, you can apply it, as it is or what you can do add 2 vitamin E tablets in it.

Apply for a night leave it on your hair wash it off in the morning. You’ll see the difference after 2 weeks in your comb. There will be no hair strand in the comb. J

The second method is to use Camphor in a small amount with coconut. Apply it at night before sleeping, it will cool down your scalp and reduce the dandruff too.

Hair Spa: Hair Spa once a week is so much necessary. Especially in this lockdown, you can do a hair spa at home too.

The Method is

1) Apply oil in hair.

2) Use a hot wet towel to cover your hair with it for 15-20 minutes.

3) Wash your hair with your favorite chemical-free shampoo.

4) Use conditioner after shampoo for 10 minutes and wash it off.

Let your hair dry naturally don’t use any hair dryer or blower as heat makes hair roots go weak.

For the extra love and care for your hair apply the hair mask. I love hair masking so much. I enjoy doing this. The hair mask is so much beneficial for hair.

Here are some DIY Hair Mask

1) Onion and coconut oil hair mask: Grate the onion, mix it with a lukewarm coconut oil and apply it on hair, Onion is high in sulfur which promotes hair growth. Leave it for one hour.

This mask helps in reducing hair fall and helps in growth. Use this mask in the morning only as it cools down your scalp and you don’t want to get cold.

Milk and cream mask: You can use milk and cream on your hair as it helps in keeping hair straighten. It is a good conditioner for hair. One most important thing I got to know that after applying milk on your hair there will not be any split end as I tried it too.

Yoghurt nourishes your hair which helps in hair growth too.

Fuller's earth hair mask: It cools down your scalp and helps in reducing dandruff. It takes out the impurities and toxins from scalp and hair, which simultaneously helps in hair growth.

                      
Egg and olive oil hair mask: Use eggs with 2 or 3 spoon of olive oil or any hair oil available at home. Mix it and apply it from roots to end. Leave it at least for 30 minutes and wash it off.

Note: If you are losing like 50 to 100 hair strands regularly then its fine but more than that should be consulted with experts.

Reason for Hair fall:

Stress: Yes stress is one of the major reasons for hair fall. Everybody in some way has stress in their lives, some show some don’t.

If stress increases it becomes depression and a depressed person can’t take care of others and of himself too.

Stress leads to hormonal imbalance which leads to hair fall dandruff and weak hair.

  

Pollution: Pollution and sun rays make your hair dry so they fall easily. Pollutants reduce the growth of hair and make them weak.

They just stick to your hair and scalp and make your scalp itchy and dry which causes hair to fall.

Water: Hard water is one of the reasons for hair thinning. I suffered this too. I shifted to my new home where I had to use hard water and the result was hair fall, thinning of hair.

Hard water has calcium and magnesium which not let your shampoo or conditioner wash your hair properly and after wash, the result is dry hair.

Ignorance: Yes the ignorance we know that certain things are not good for us but we keep ignoring them like not eating properly, not sleeping on time, no exercise, and especially no oil therapy for hair.

Hereditary: Sometimes loss of hair happens because of hereditary reasons. It is not a disease its genetic condition only.It can be cured only by Doctors.

Eating habits: Not having healthy food and eating junk or processed food in your meal lead to hair fall ,which causes deficiency of nutrients in body. Human body is not made for junk food.

 I saw some people just can’t live without spicy oily junk food. If you can’t eat healthily, how can you expect healthy hair and skin? As I say what you eat that’s what you become.

The question is how to stop Hair fall?

b) Healthy Food: For healthy and strong hair, include healthy food than the processed one. The foods which help in hair growth are:

                                                                                                                                                             


2) Milk and its products: 

3) Nuts: Nuts are full of omega-3, zinc, protein, and have vitamin E which is responsible for the shiny and long hair. Include a handful of nuts in your diet like  walnuts, almonds, cashew, etc.

5)Green Vegetables and fruits: Green vegetables like spinach, broccoli; cabbage,etc. as these include Vitamin A, C, iron, etc.
Fruits like Kiwi, apples, tomatoes, peach, amla avocadoes, etc are the best in hair growth and glowing skin.

6)Eggs: Eggs are the best source of protein and biotin. Eggs in your diet can bring the growth in hair you’re looking for.It also helps in adding volume to the hair and make them silky soft too. Hair mask of eggs promotes the hair growth so apply it on your scalp at least a week.

c)Oil massage: Oil massage is must for lengthy and strong hair.Apply oil on your scalp to the end of hair at least three times a week for healthy frizz-free hair.

d) Hair mask: Hair mask is so good and play an important role in keeping hair shiny and healthy. So use any hair mask like yogurt,egg hair mask and fuller's earth hair mask that i have mentioned in my earlier post too etc.  

Note: If you are losing 50 to 100 hair strands regularly then its fine but more than that should be consulted with experts.
