Glowing skin is all we want, right? That too, without taking any help from makeup! It might sound a bit absurd but it is definitely achievable to a certain level. Turning this dream into reality comes with a slight catch – it does need some serious hard work from our side. As I always say, time and efforts will definitely yield results in the long run just that you have work hard to achieve it.
I love pampering my skin. I do understand that most of us can’t afford expensive spa facials—or fancy beauty products—but you can still reap the benefits without indulging in expensive treatments by simply sitting at home. Use this DIY home made mask – it’s easy to make and use, budget-friendly and you will get the best results.
As I have a hectic job, I cannot devote much time on salons. I love cooking and I try doing that on special occasions. In between making eggplant fritters or chicken curry or fish curry, (in a messed up kitchen), I can quickly prepare a mask from gram flour, curd and lemon juice, the easiest available ingredients in your kitchen pantry, in parallel. I also learned time management is the key and you should be able to multi task these days.
