Hello beautiful readers!!! Who doesn't love to pamper his/her skin? In addition to being a pampering treat, Facials are the key to a healthy, youthful and radiant skin. A facial in every 15 days helps in removing impurities and dead skin cells, promoting circulation, renewing tired, stressed skin and thus maintaining a radiant healthy glow. While professional spa facials definitely offer a relaxing and rejuvenating experience, they can be extremely costly. In addition to being expensive, it can be bit difficult to especially take out time for a facial at the spa or salon. (I am very lazy in this case. Arghhh!!!!) Therefore, at-home facials are an affordable alternative.  And by following this step-by-step guide , you can do salon like facial at home whenever and wherever it's convenient to you. Yes, CONVENIENT!! Yay!! Things you will need: Head Band Round Cotton Pads Clean Wash Cloth Cold Water in a Bowl A good Facial Kit (i.e. including a gentle Cleanser or C...

Read on to know if this Cream works on spots & dullness at the source (i.e. within the epidermal layer) and gives fairness that glows as claimed. Well, I am definitely not in favour of Fairness Creams as I do not believe in the concept of fairness. I strongly believe that good skin or beautiful skin has nothing to do with its color. So, I got my hands over this cream just to get rid of the spots I have on my face.

Talking about the beach, I have always been attracted towards Beach Waves hair and have tried various ways from Tongs to curlers to get that wavy look.

Well, I admit that waxing can cause a bit of pain but definitely it's better than shaving as your arms and legs are not left full of nicks and cuts, unlike the occasional aftermath of shaving. Waxing is also better than hair removal creams as there is less of a chance that you will end up with nasty red rashes or irritation. Another benefit? Smooth arms and legs for a longer period of time. *Yayyieee* Waxing at home is not at all a difficult task if you do it properly. PREPARATION BEFORE WAXING Buy a Good At-Home Waxing Kit The most important step is to buy a good waxing kit for hair removal. A good waxing kit includes a tub of wax, strips and spatula or applicator. Waxing Kit consisting of wax heater, wax, wax strips and spatulas.

If they are too long, trim the hai...
