Hey chicklets!!
Whats has been happening?? Its so cold out here in Delhi,
but I anyhow love winters and I’m enjoying this weather to the fullest even
though my exams are going on. Every season has its pros and con, and with
winters comes dry skin and dry scalp, which requires extra care. So here is a
wonder ingredient for your winter problems – Yogurt!!!
The good fat in yogurt naturally nourishes, prevents drying
during winter and the mild acids bleach tan. Yogurt also balances pH levels on
skin & hair and does alot good if applied frequently.
1) Pure and Simple Yogurt for hair:- You can simply use yogurt on the hair and
scalp few minutes before taking bath. Yogurt is an excellent product for dry
hair or y0ou can beat yogurt and then apply on the hair and scalp. Leave for
30-45 minutes and then rinse of with lukewarm water and use mild shampoo.
2) Yogurt with honey- Yogurt and honey is
a perfect for winter care! Beat yogurt and add few drops of honey to it. Apply
on the hair and leave for 30-45 minutes. This conditions the hair and stores
the moisture therefore preventing the hair from becoming dry. You can also
apply the same mixture on your face and leave it for 10-15 mins. It boosts your
skin moisture and gives you instant glow.
3) Body
Scrub- To a bowl of yogurt, add a teaspoon of
powdered sugar, turmeric and aloe vera gel. Turmeric works like an antiseptic,
sugar helps in scrubbing and removing the dead skin cells. Aloe vera soothes
skin. Even oatmeal powder can be added to yogurt and used as a scrub.
4) Body
Scrub part 2 :- You can add 3 tablespoons powdered oatmeat in
one bowl of burd and use as a body scrub.
5) Shiny
long hair:- Yogurt when mixed with olive oil makes up an effective
hair care recipe.
6) Yogurt Body Pack: To a mixture
of multani mitti/ green clay, add yogurt and rosewater and mix it to thick
paste. Apply the yogurt recipe all over the body (specially arms & legs are
more visible). The homemade facepack should be massaged on knees and elbows to
lighten up the skin and prevent roughness.
7) Yogurt and Egg – Beat and egg while
whipping yogurt and then apply on the hair. The best way to apply this yogurt
mask is by parting hair lines an applying on the exposed scalp. This way, you
apply the mask properly. Leave it for an hour and then rinse off with cold
water and use a mild shampoo.
8) Yogurt Lotion: Combining yogurt
with a teaspoon of the fragrant essential oil and applying everyday
before bath
will protect skin damage, dryness, redness and will maintain skin silky and
glowing.
9) Yogurt Body Mask: The natural
body mask is prepared by adding grated carrots (carrot juice), saffron, honey
and yogurt. The body mask is gently applied on body before bath and taken bath
after it is dry. The yogurt body mask makes skin silky soft and glowing.
10) Yogurt and banana- Mash a
banana and add it to the beaten yogurt. Apply this paste on the hair and leave
for 30-45 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water and little shampoo. Regular usage
reduces hair fall and controls dandruff.
