How People love shiny hair, shiny cars and glittery jewelry! But a shiny face doesn’t receive the same appreciation. Yes, oily skin not only affects your beauty, but can be frustrating too. It can easily ruin your makeup and can be a big pain to deal with. At times, it is embarrassing too and can shatter the self-confidence. What causes oily skin? There are many people who don’t even know the reasons for oily skin and always look for the perfect solution to get rid of it.

People with oily skin often wonder what other people think about them or whether they find him/her attractive. They blame it on the greasy food they ate last night. But eating oily food has absolutely nothing to do with oily skin.

5 Causes Of Oily Skin

But, do not let oily skin keep you down and spoil your appearance. Rather, stand up and fight with it. But to fight the enemy, you got to know it well! So, here are the top 5 causes of oily skin. Put on your warrior gear, we have a battle ahead!

3. Egg beaten up with soaked and ground (or parboiled and ground) oats and use it as a pack on to oily skin to remove excess oiliness.
4. Raw milk can be used directly as a cleanser with cotton balls on to oily skin.

5. You can use a mixture of raw milk with freshly squeezed lemon juice mixed into it and apply with cotton ball to cleanse face , but if you do use this mixture , then keep it for 5-10 minutes at least before rinsing with water again since lemon helps reducing excess oiliness. (eeww I can cut lemon slices better than that LOL )

6. Drink fresh fruit juices , especially citrus fruits and apple juices , or even raw papaya juice like half a cup at an interval of two days are good , plus not to mention 8-10 glasses of water minimum to keep skin hydrated and toxin free.

Wash face with a oil removing face wash or a face wash or mild soap with tea tree oil and wash at least 3 times a day like morning, at bathing and before going to bed, or morning, evening and before going to bed.

How To Use Onion Juice For Hair Growth

Posted on by Ann Mumbi

Growing your hair is a task and an excruciatingly long one at that. With the amount of time your hair takes to grow, and the trims you cannot avoid, it’s hard to resist the urge to give up. I’m not going to lie, growing your hair does require a lot of patience, but it also doesn’t have to be as painfully slow. Using growth-stimulating ingredients like onion can help boost the rate at which your hair grows while also adding volume. Following, I’ve put together a list of the 12 ways to use onions to boost hair growth. But first, let’s look at how exactly onion helps your hair.

Benefits Of Onion Juice For Hair Growth

Using onion juice is a sure-shot method to boosting hair growth and promoting hair regrowth. Onion juice for hair growth has received great reviews online from users with noticeable before and after results. Here are some possible reasons behind what makes this ingredient so effective:

  • Onion juice helps improve hair growth by boosting the level of an antioxidant enzyme catalase. This enzyme helps decompose hydrogen peroxide, optimizing the hair growth cycle.
  • It helps nourish your hair follicles with its rich content of sulfur. Sulfur is essential for the regeneration of your hair follicles.
  • The rich sulfur content also helps minimize hair thinning and breakage.
  • The antioxidants help reverse premature graying and delay graying.
  • Onion’s rich antibacterial properties help keep your scalp healthy and free of infection, promoting unhindered hair growth. These same properties also help control dandruff.
  • Onion juice stimulates your scalp and improves the circulation of blood, resulting in it follicles that are well-nourished.

The Best Skin Care Routine For Dry Skin

Posted on by Ann Mumbi

Caring for skin that is dry is as tough as caring for skin that is oily. For the latter, it is the constant blotting with tissues issue, whereas for the former one, it is the continuous application of moisturizer.

There are a lot of concerns associated with dry skin, such as flaky, itchy, and sensitive skin. However, with proper care, you can tackle these problems. Following a consistent daily skin care routine is the trick to achieving moisturized and dewy skin. Here’s what you need to do to achieve that.

Daily Skin Care Routine For Dry Skin

  1. Morning
  2. Day
  3. Night

1. Morning
Step 1: The first thing you need to do as soon as you get up is splash your face with cool water a few times. This makes your skin feel completely refreshed.

Step 2: Then, pick a moisturizing cleanser and gently cleanse your face with it. Make sure you choose a natural product with minimum chemicals.

Step 3: After that, tone your skin. Pick a toner that is not drying. Rose water is a good and natural option that you can try.

Step 4: The next step is moisturizing – the most important one. Apply the moisturizer thoroughly all over your skin until it gets completely absorbed.

Step 5: Then, it is time for the sunscreen. If you are stepping out, ensure that it has an SPF of 30 or more. Reapply every few hours.

Step 6: If you want to use makeup, then it is best to go light. Tinted moisturizers, bb creams, and concealers are good options. Make sure they are moisturizing too to prevent any dry patches.
