Natural Beauty Tips


1. Rub a rind of lemon over your face if you have an oily skin and this

    will lessen grease and whiten your complexion.

2. Mix the juice of one lemon to two tablespoons of milk or cream.
    Apply this on your face and neck and massage for a few minutes.
    Then rinse off. Do this daily before going to bed. It helps to bleach
    your face and keep your hands soft and supple.

3. Take a teaspoon of lime juice and stir in half a teaspoon of honey
    and a few drops of milk. Mix well and apply over your face and neck
    fifteen minutes before you take your bath. This lotion will have a 
    mild bleaching effect on a greasy skin, which because of its
    excessive oil may be rather sallow.

4. To one tablespoon of cucumber juice, stir in a few drops of lime juice
    and a dash of turmeric powder. Mix well and apply over your face
    and neck. Leave it on for half an hour and then remove it with
    ordinary tap water. This lotion makes an excellent whitener for all 
    types of skin.

5. Cut tomatoes in half and rub over the face. This is useful for toning
    up and whitening the skin and refining the pores.

6. To cleanse the face, soak a piece of cotton wool in unboiled milk and
    rub the face with it gently from the chin upwards to the forehead.

7. Mix a teaspoonful of turmeric powder with cream, sandal powder and
    bengal gram flour and make into a paste and apply once a day for
    about half an hour before a bath. This is an excellent beauty aid to
    keep the face fresh and soft.

8. Grate and squeeze juice out of a small piece of watermelon. Apply it
    on your face and leave it on for about fifteen minutes. Then wash
    with hot water and splash on some cold water. This lotion not only
    freshens up the skin but also clears the skin of its blemishes.

9. Grind a few cabbage leaves and extract the juice. Dissolve a little
    yeast in it and to this add a teaspoon of honey. Mix well and apply
    it thickly over your face and neck and leave it on for fifteen
    minutes. Then remove with cotton wool soaked in water. This is an
    excellent remedy for counter-acting dry skin.

10. To close pores that are open, rub ice wrapped in cotton wool gently
      on the face.

11. Add a little carrot juice and orange juice to a cup of milk. Rub this
     mixture daily on a face scarred with smallpox marks and they may
     disappear gradually.

12. To remove dead skin from the face, apply a mixture of glycerine,
     limejuice and sugar and rub gently.
