Well, eating too chocolates can take a toll on your skin and health!
Irrespective, I have been a huuuuge fan of bitter dark chocolates. To my surprise, I found out out that for once what I love is actually beneficial for my skin’s health! Supper Happy!!

Dark chocolates contain flavonols. It is a type of flavonoid, rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps protect your skin from UV Rays.

But only dark chocolate with more than 70% cacao in it has proven benefits. So make sure you take a quick look at the ingredients at the back of your favourite dark chocolate packet!              

REMEMBER! All you need is just about 2 or 3 small pieces a week, so don’t pounce guilt-free on your dark chocolate…! :D Else you will run the risk of adding on sum unwanted fat! Naaah!!
OK! Maybe 2 packs in a month! LOL! C'mmon.. Try .. You can do it! And if you have sum fun facts to share about dark chocolate or any deep dark moment with dark chocolates, please share with me below!

Use only natural ingredients as the best means to avoid allergic reactions and keep your complexion spotless and radiating. The following quick and easy blackhead remedies can be easily included in your beauty routine.

Banana Facial

This facial is perfect for a complete treatment as well as for spot treatment. Use the anti-oxidant content of this fruit to treat your damaged complexion. Crush a ripe banana in a medium bowl and add 1 tsp of honey. In order to obtain the right texture of the mask it is also highly recommended to add 2 tbs of fresh lemon juice. Apply the mixture on the affected spots and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. When the time is up you can wipe off the facial with a clean washcloth.

Finish up your beauty ritual by wiping off the cherry facial with a damp washcloth.

7 random tips before ur Holi Splash!

                                                 
Holi is celebrated

with a spirit of camaraderie n love. 

Our skin needs love too.

With a little bit of love n care we can make sure that our skin glows happily.  

While playing Holi' apart from harsh colors, sun-exposure can also have harsh effects on the skin. It makes the skin dry, itchy and flaky.

Both the skin and hair can become dry and dull after playing Holi.

So......??????

Relax!! :)



Just take 2 minutes off for the sake of ur pretty self!

1)Apply sunscreen and moisturiser 20 minutes prior to ur Holi splash so it settles down n minimises the chances of the harsh colors entering ur pores.

2)Luvv to look groomed all da time?
No need to compromise on da glamor factor ! J
Use light day make-up.

3)Apply Kohl to ur eyes, (optional)

4)on ur lips use Lip Gloss or plain Chapstick.

5)DO NOT FORGET to oil ur hair as this will make life easier for u while removing da colors.

6)Don’t forget ur perfume. J

7)And if u can’t do without ur precious cell phone at least waterproof it with a cover!

Now,
the real problem: getting the colors off ur face!!

Don’t fret!

Use a cleansing cream or lotion.

Apply this on the skin and massage it. Then wipe off with moist cotton wool. Remember to cleanse the area around the eyes too, using a light touch. A cleansing gel helps to dissolve the colours and facilitates their removal.

**You can also make your own cleanser. Take half a cup of cold milk and add one teaspoon of any vegetable oil, like "til," olive or sunflower oil. Mix well. Dip cotton wool into this mixture and use it to cleanse the skin on the face and body.

**Sesame seed (til) oil actually helps to counteract sun damage. While bathing, scrub the body with a loofah and remember to apply a moisturiser after your bath, while the skin is still damp. This helps to seal in moisture.

Enjoy ur Holi to da fullest !

Green Holi Splash!!!

*Childhood memories are precious to everyone. Most of us still rave about our best holis that date back to our school or college days. And I am guessing even you must be having some memories attached to Holi.

*I am no exception either. I still remember how my besties and I would eagerly wait for Holi. We used to compare our colors and make sure we had a host of all possible colors available and more than enough of it!

*Thanks to our awesome parents, we had da most fancy water-guns as well. Just soooooo much fun we had hurling water-balloons at each other.

*Little did we know about d ill effects of synthetic colors . Not only does it spoil our skin, it even has adverse effects on d environment.

*Thankfully for lovers of the fest of colors like us, organic colors are now available. I have been using them from the time I became aware of the harsh effects of synthetic colors.

*You will get eco-friendly colors at any of da general stores and supermarkets.
Click here for organic Holi colours :)

*So let’s pledge to have an eco-friendly and “supperdhamaal” Holi this year.
