Skin benefits of Aloe Vera gel and ways to use it..

Aloe Vera gel can be used by both men and women and are suitable for all skin types.
Fresh Aloe gel is way more effective than market based products which they claim their product contains pure aloe gel but the later is chemical blended and processed product and there's a chance of it being too harsh for skin. So always try to get fresh aloe gel that one can directly get from the Aloe Vera plant.

Skin Benefits of Aloe vera gel and how to use :

1. Instant Glow
By applying fresh aloe vera gel in your face, you can see instant glow and well moisturised and flawless skin.
Use it half and hour before you head out of the house. Apply sunscreen after applying gel to avoid the tightness of your skin.

2. Night Cream
Our skin get exposed to sunlight and dirt through out the day, the pores in our skin suck in all the dirts and if not properly cleansed it will lead to acne break outs.
Before going to bed wash your face and pat dry. Apply thin texture of fresh aloe gel all over the face and neck area and leave it over night. When you wake up your skin will feel soft, moisturized and the pores are all tightened so there is less chances of dirt being sucked in next time.
Best results can be seen when used daily.

3. Face Mask
Aloe Vera can be used as face mask as well.. Blending the Aloe Gel with your favourite Face oil or Rose water or even face pack powder can be very effective for skin. Apply it thickly textured and leave it for 20-30 mins. It will helps keep your skin hydrated thus less chances of wrinkle and fine lines.

4. Healing effect
Aloe Vera can help reduce the need for inflammation, it's natural anti inflammatory benefits reduce redness and swelling. It can be used during minor skin burns, sun burns and even on cuts and wounds.
Before applying the Aloe gel make sure the surface are well cleansed.

5. Before/ After shaving
When used before shaving it will prevent your skin from drying and makes your skin feel soft so that razor blade easily be easily glide on to your skin and takes off the hair as close to root as possible. When used after shaving it will leave your skin well moisturised and prevents itchiness and also the hair grown afterwards are softer and not poky.
Shaving sometime will impact to small cuts so Aloe will heal those cuts as well..


HOW TO USE ALOE VERA GEL :

1. Cut one leave of the plant and make it into pieces like so:

2. Cut the breadth of the plant into two pieces.Don't cut it the other way as the thorn on the leave might poke in between.

3. Extract the gel using a table knife or spoon and gently apply it with your fingers in a circular motion. Please make sure your hands are clean before you apply.

These are the best ways one can use Aloe Vera for healthier and hydrating glowing skin.

Hair Care Tips for Fall-Winter Season.

That time of the year has come when some of you'll wish for a longer hair, some of you'll wish if you haven't had gone shorter this summer and some of you'll step back from going for shorter hair, All in All major missing of your long hair happens this season because in this chilled weather all you want is a warm hug and long hair...

If you haven't felt any of the above mentioned you can still read this post, I am sure these tips will help us all no matter the length of hair...

1. Oiling : Oiling is good for all seasons but specially in fall and winter if you can warm it up a little bit and apply it on the roots and ends of the hair you'll see major changes. Your hair will be stronger from roots, softer texture and it will help your scalp from drying thus prevent from Dandruff.

2. Use Normal Water : I know its super cold in winter but do not make mistake of using hot water while washing your hair. The heat will extract your moisture and gives an dry and rough effect afterwards, instead use normal or lukewarm water.

3.Wrap it up : After washing your hair wrap it with a steam towel and let the towel suck in all water. Let it dry naturally and avoid using dryer.

4. Cut down the ends : In this season we tend to keep the hair length longer but to prevent it from split and rough hair ends after every week or two cut the ends if required because it will give your hair fresher look and also its easier for you to comb if you have long hair.

5. Hair Serum : We all have experience that bad day with hair when you went out and your hair kept flying around,  time and again you had to fix it, It is because your hair is drying out and if you use hair serum right after washing your hair it won't happen.

How To Have Longer Lasting Lipstick.

Here’s how to keep your lips looking great all day, so you don't have to re-apply your lipstick throughout the day.

Many says and I believe it depends on the Lipstick quality whether it last long on your lips or not.  But girls it is not the whole truth, Though the quality of lipstick really matters alot but sometimes even if we apply the same lipstick among the friend circle but still there comes a difference in longevity of lipstick. My friends  often ask me how do I manage to last the lipstick for longer period and having told them few steps for lipstick to last longer I am amazed myself after seeing  the result on them. A girl who has to reapply lipstick every two hours didn’t even had to retouch for more than four/five hours even after she uses the same lipstick she used to apply before. Isn’t it cool?

These are the quick and easy tips for lipstick to last longer than ever, it might need an extra effort but your lil effort is really worth it.. Try it once and see!! J

To begin with, these are the products i use to create a longer lasting lipstick. You can use lipstick, liner, balm, brush and powder of your choice:

1. Moisturize your lips before going to bed:  

Before going to bed it’s very important to apply balm to your lips because when we sleep we don’t intake any fluids and that might lead to dryness of lips and because of that when you wake up your lips feel rough and dry. So if the base is not clear its obvious what ever you apply on it wont stay for long and it looks so untidy.. So in vest on a good balm, I would recommend you guys to use the Body shop balm its on reasonable price and the products works really well. If you are looking for cheaper ones or if you don’t find any good balm the best option available is Vaseline it contains Petroleum Jelly which will keep your lips fresh, plump, juicy and even protect your lips from drying. 

2.  Clear the base:

                               Lips exfoliating scrub!!          Moisturizer and damp tooth brush!!                          

So you wake up with a fresh plump lips because you moisturized it the other night, So what next??  While washing your face see if your lips is still rough or not, if so gently use a lip exfoliating scrub or if you don’t have one gently massage with a good moisturizer and lightly scrub away the top surface of your lips with a damp toothbrush to get rid of dull and dry skin cells.

3.Balm to the rescue:

Once your lips is dry apply your favorite lip balm very lightly just so to make a perfect clear base, go for a wax like texture so that your lipstick stays longer if you don’t have one simply use your lip balm lightly and press a thin tissue in between your lips or over your lips so it takes away the excess oil from your lips. If you have lip primer you can use that instead of using balm in this step, but I prefer balm.

4.Draw with liner:

                                                                                                              

Define your lips with liner

create a base color with liner.

This step is really important. It’s always good to start with a liner to define the line of your lips and fill in lightly so as it will let your lipstick color stays for longer period and also it will make you look whole day as there is less chances of dissolving your lipstick. But there are many girls who don’t prefer using liner if you are one of them it’s  ok you can skip it. But yah doing so will give a better result.

5. Main girl:

So with the same or similar shade of lipstick start applying it around the lips till the border you drew earlier. If you know lipsticks won’t stick your lips for long try applying more of Matte texture rather than gloss because the glossy ones are easy to smudge and are more likely to fade on your lips. Even if you are using the gloss lipstick you can blot the juicy like texture with a tissue.

6. Tissue and Powder:

Take a thinnest tissue and place it on your lips and with the use of blush brush  dust a translucent powder like Make Up For Ever HD Powder over the lips, through the tissue. If you don’t have one you can even try with a simple powder preferably Johnsons baby powder.  This sets the color, without depositing a layer of powder.

7. Reapply the lipstick:

Reapply the lipstick gently; Adding a second layer of lipstick after blotting increases the pigment concentration relative to the creamy ingredients that are the enemies of lipstick longevity.

Now Smile you are all set to go J
