Ten Beauty Recipes - to solve all your faical problems

Here, I bring to you 10 beauty ingredients and recipes, which are essential for all who love looking beautiful and like taking care!
Here are some fascinating recipes for you to try…

1. Eggs: By far, one of the oldest of beauty aids. The white of the egg is used for toning and tightening one’s skin where as the yolk is great at nourishing and enriching it. An age old facemask is egg white mixed with grounded barley and honey. It is great and very useful for all skin types.
2. Milk: Another marvelous beauty aid. Half a pint of milk, mixed with one lemon’s juice makes a great night cream. Milk has always been used as a soothing agent, as when there were no creams for sunburns experts would suggest ¼ pint of milk, into which you add a pinch of bicarbonate of soda. Milk is also great for nourishing, so if you have dry skin a mask made of milk and honey mixed with ground almond is very useful, whereas for oily skin a mask made of a spoon of bakers yeast and milk is excellent.
3. Lemon: It would be absolutely right to say that lemon has bleaching and astringent qualities like no other food item. It is good for dry, sensitive and parched skins, but it is extremely good for oily and blemished skin. Add milk and lemon juice to oatmeal to make a mask that will deep cleanse your skin.
4. Curd or Yogurt (Dahi): It surely has many beauty uses. A famous naturopathy recipe is curd and mint mask, this is useful for all skin types. It is easy to make as well, mix one tablespoon of curd with a tablespoon of multani mitti add a teaspoon of crushed mint leaves. Apply 15 minutes and wash off you will see an instant glow. Curd helps in making the skin soft one can apply as it is on the face, hand, legs, whole body it will cool, soften and refresh your skin.
5. Butter Milk (Chaas): It’s a great beautifier; mix one or two tablespoons oatmeal with enough butter milk to make a smooth paste apply on the face it’s a great scrub to exfoliate your skin. For open pores soak a cotton wool pad in butter milk and pat on the face. Leave the milk for about ten minutes and wash of with cold water. To get rid of freckles pat on butter milk and leave to dry.
6. Honey: It is used in many beauty treatments; it is excellent for smoothing the skin and softening lines. Spread it as a film all over the face. Leave it for 15 minutes and remove with cotton wool pads and warm water. Another way is to mix it with other ingredients to make face packs. For dry skin, a honey and egg mask is very useful. Mix to a paste ½ teaspoon honey, one egg yolk and 1 tablespoon milk powder, apply on the face for 20 minutes and rinse off. Whereas for oily skin, mix ½ teaspoon honey with a dessertspoon lemon juice and mix into a paste with multani mitti and rose water.
7. Apples: Its excellent toner for oily skin, use as a face mask, cut a large apple very finely and spread a layer all over your face leave for 15 minutes and wash. If you want to move around while doing this take 1 large tablespoon of apple juice mix it with olive oil, almond oil or rosewater and apply on the face.
8. Almonds: Almond oil is great for dry skin and dry hair. For large pores mix a tablespoon of finely grounded almonds and rose water to make a paste. Rub it on the face for 15minutes and wash it off. To soften dry skin of hands and face add a cup of cold milk to 20gms grounded almonds and strain then add 10 gms sugar and use the mixture to smoothen face and hands.
9. Avocado: A fruit that is rich in oil, it is again great for all skin types. Eat the fruit first and then rub it all over your body to make your skin subtle and fresh. To make an avocado mask, mash one ripe avocado with a teaspoon of lemon juice and then beat into the white of an egg. Leave for 20 minutes and then rinse off.
10. Barley: Powder barley and mix it with two teaspoon full of lemon juice and milk to make a nourishing face pack. This will improve the circulation of blood and give a deep cleanse.
