Eggs for Oily Skin!

Most of us, especially those who live in tropical countries, suffer from one of the most irritating situation to our face: Oily skin. I for myself was an example. I usually have oily skin ending up that I always have press powder or paper oil for me to remove the excess oil over my skin. But you can even reduce your skin oiliness without spending a large amount of money. A single egg is an answer to your face dilemma!

Egg was rich in vitamins and minerals that helps nourishes the skin. The white and the yolk have different substances and uses. Egg white draws out the excess oil in your face and very useful facial cleansing and exfoliation. While the egg yolks serve as a natural moisturizer. Eggs are also good in firming and tightening the skin which make it as a popular natural ingredient in facial mask recipes.

How to obtain a glowing skin without the oil? Well, here it is:

You just need the following for the facial:
·         1 raw egg
·         2 bowls
·         Warm cloth
·         Cold water
·         Ice cube
·         Lemon juice (optional)

1.       Separate the white and the yolk of the egg and put it into 2 different bowls.
2.       You can add few drops of lemon juice in the egg white for it help eliminate the oil to your face.
3.       Wipe your face with warmth cloth to open the pores of your skin.
4.       Beat the egg white until it was frothy and white then spread it in circular motion to your face upward avoiding the eyes.
5.       Wait 15-30 minutes. It must be harden up on your face. You can remove it if you find it hard to smile.
6.       Cleanse the egg white on your face using the warm cloth.
7.       Beat the egg yolk and spread it on your face the same way you did to the egg white.
8.       Wait 15- 30 minutes till it hardens up.
9.       Wash the egg yolk off with cold water to close up the pores.
10.   Rub an ice cube over your face to tighten up your skin.

While doing this, always pull your hair back away from your face. It is best to do this procedure at night and no more than once a week. It is also advisable to do this before taking a bath to cleanse it off better. You can also do the same procedure on the back of your thighs to get rid of cellulite.

These were the basic procedure in fighting oily skin. But there are also other ways that involves eggs. You can add oats, milk, honey, etc. you can search it up or could wait for my post in here for me to elaborate it up well.

Hope this help guys!

Stay pretty and healthy!

A Simple Remedy for Acne

Every one would say that they have encountered one enemy that is appearing over their faces or back; this thing that make almost every one of us paranoid: The Acne or pimple that was ruining our very appealing feature. We must admit that everyone has experienced this number one enemy especially during our teen years.
                
Acne was actually formed through the formation of dead cells and dirt on our face. It could also be hormonal or depend on the food we are taking in. And if it wasn’t taken for granted, it might as well leave scars or dark spots which will stay on your face on a long term if you don’t have the riches for treatment.

But good news there is! Before the acne comes worst, there are treatments that could only be found in the gardens of our house that we can use against these enemies.

1.       Papaya – It should be ripe. Mixed 3 spoonful of mashed papaya and 1 spoonful of Kalamansi (Chinese Orange) juice. Massage the mixture over your clean face. Let it be on your face for 30 minutes then wash your face with warm water. If possible, let it be on your face for a longer period of time.

Papaya was not just a good remedial for acne; it was also rich in vitamin E which is good for softer and whiter skin. The kalamansi was then rich in vitamin C which is an excellent ingredient for aging skin.

2.       Aloe Vera – Get a leaf of aloe vera and peel of the skin. Wash your face with lukewarm water then massage the dew of the leaf over your face. Let it stay for 30 minutes or for longer time if you can bear it (aloe vera was a little bit itchy on your face). Wash your face.

Aloe vera was very rich in Vitamin E. This was also good for growing hairs and removing dandruff on your scalp.

3.       Rosemary – Get at least 5 leaves of rosemary then smash it.  Wash your face with lukewarm water then massage the dew over it. Put this for at least an hour or for the rest of the day then wash it afterwards.

Rosemary has antioxidants which help us enhance and nourishes our skin.

All of this could be found either in your garden or inside your kitchen. This was effective in a natural way. But before acne attacks your precious face, there are many ways on how to prevent them up already.

1.       Wash your face and used a soap or facial wash that is appropriate for your skin regularly to remove the dirt that you got outside.

2.       Let the pores of your face be steam up to lukewarm water for 15 minutes for dirt to be removed and to relax it up.

3.       You can massage your face with ice to tighten your pores and to cool it up.

4.       Don’t touch your pimples with your hands and don’t squeeze it for it might cause scars and infection to you. (This was the common act that we are doing to them and it’s a DON’T!)

5.       Get enough of sleep at least 7 to 8 hours every day.

6.       Avoid eating too much food that is rich in sugar and starch. They are great producer of hormones and substances which is a great contributor for the formation of acne and pimple.

7.       Always drink plenty of water and eat fruits and vegetables. Always remember that it was not just the thing that we are putting ‘outside’ that’ll make us beautiful longer, but what we are taking inside.  

Having beautiful skin won’t be that hard if we are always taking of our self. There always ways on how we take good care of them without spending bunch of money! Just turn to your kitchen and voila! There are other things that could help us be pretty in a healthier way. We can rid of this archenemy on our face and win to them over and over again! Just always take care of yourself.

Stay pretty and healthy!

Special: Michelle Phan, Reigning Beauty Princess Expert

At first, I am really not into taking care of myself especially in terms of being beautiful. I'm contented on being me without anything over my face. My friends usually force me to even wear just a lip color so that I won't appeal pale and sick. That's it. Only 'That'. But, that was before.
Phan on her 'Romantic Valentine Look' tutorial
There came Michelle Phan, a youtube sensation in giving tips and tutorial with regards on looks and makeup. In the online world, she was known as 'ricebunny'.


She's a Vietnamese who grew up in California. That's why she got the Asian beauty.


I really don't know her existence not until a friend of mine showed me her tutorial video in 'Natural Beauty look". And that was the start on how I fantasized her. 


After years of not taking care of my looks, I can't get out now without looking in the mirror for so many times! Many of my friends also notice my sudden transformation. And they say that this was for good.


I really adore her tutorial videos. Not just because it made us good looking, but I can use it to some of my photo shoot on my models. Yes. I am an amateur photographer and all her videos are very useful to me. 


I adore her so much. Though there will always be a an 'anti' group to her, she's still the best.


Michelle Phan was truly the reigning beauty expert princess. I really like her soooooo much.. <3

3 Idiots: 'Aal iz Wel'

I watched this movie when we are having a get-together in our family. My cousin recommended this movie for us to watched. We did. And it turned out to be one of the best movie I have ever watched!
movies.rediff.com
The movie was 3 Idiots directed by Rajkumar Hirani. It was a 3 hour length movie and though it was long, there was no downtime while watching it. It was totally hilarious, great and inspiring.


The story was about three engineering student who passed the exam in one of the prestigious engineering schools in India. Farhan Qureshi (R. Madhavan), Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi), and Rancchoddas Shamaldas Chanchad "Rancho" (Aamir Khan) passed the exam at the Imperial College of Engineering (ICE). And that was the start of their journey about life and struggles.


The movie was about achieving your dreams and make your passion your achievement in life. It was about the simplicity of the joy in learning; how you face the struggles that you've met in life in a positive way wherein this will make you stronger. 


The story reflects what is real in our society. It made us notice that some beautiful things are not found through money, but through the way we live life in our self.


This movie was very indescribable.


A movie that was highly recommended for the society.
