Red Wine + Honey Skin Facial DIY

I have always wondered how it would be to apply exotic ingredients to skin. But, always fail to experience it when it really comes to them. Because I love to eat those fruits than apply them on the face! So, when it came to using red wine, I made sure that I would experience it. So, let us check out how this DIY turned out!!
Before that, lets talk a bit about red wine. We know it is made from grapes which are basically acidic and rich in Vitamin C and loaded with anti-oxidants. So, the wine, Refosco dal Peduncolo Russo (every wine has its own properties), we have today is quite deep in color and high in acidity. Since it is highly acidic, it is good for acne prone skin and drying as well. So, let us check out how it fares for us.

Red Wine + Honey Skin Facial DIY

Ingredients

  • 1tbsp red wine
  • 1tbsp honey (to combat dryness)

    Method

    • Wash your face. Scrub it, if necessary. Steam your face, neck and décolletage for 5 minutes to open the pores. 
    • Take the mixture of wine and honey and massage your face with it the way it is done during a facial. You can get your sister or best friend to do it as well!! 
    • Since there is honey, the mix tends to get sticky so keep the steamer on in the interims so that the liquid gets penetrated into the skin and does not dry up.
    • Keep massaging for 30 minutes in this way. Cover your neck and décolletage as well. Do not forget your ears and lips!! 
    • You can wash it off immediately or let it sit on your skin for as long as you can as a mask. Whatever you do, wash off with cold water and apply moisturiser.

    Results

    There would not be an immediate glow on the face! But, the skin definitely looks plumpier and firmer. And, it helps with making the skin soft and smooth. The lines are less visible. Basically, you can say the anti-aging effects of the red wine shows up. And, the glow comes later on. So, I loved it and now it is your turn!

    Kama Soap-free Face Cleanser Mridul Dupe {DIY}

    Kama Soap-free Face Cleanser Mridul Dupe {DIY}

    So, it has been ages since I have done any DIY. In fact, this recipe is also very old and should have been published long long back but I was too lazy to click the pics and put them on the blog. 
    Anyways, while in the Kama shop, I picked up their face cleanser and checked out the ingredients. They were all available at home so I decided to note them down and recreate the product at home!
    And, yes, it was pretty much same. Only the Kama product was more finely ground and not as scrubby in texture. So, lets check out the ingredients first.

    Ingredients

    • Chickpeas
    • Fennel
    • Almond
    • Turmeric
    • Camphor
    • Green gram dal
    • Oatmeal
    • Cinnamon
    • Rose
    • Neem

    Method

    Ok, so, the percentage of these ingredients is not really mentioned so we assume our own quantities and proceed with the recipe. So, the first ingredient is generally 80% of the product. So, you have a cup of besan / chickpea flour and 2% of all the other ingredients on a rough estimate. 
    I think what my mom did was she did not take as much of besan as was required. Instead, she made them all equal portions. Anyways, put all the ingredients in a huge plate (except camphor) and let them dry in shade for half a day or more. And, then, grind them as fine as possible. 
    Add camphor in the end and run the grinder once more. That’s it! Your homemade soap free face cleanser Mridul is ready! And, it smells more or less camphor-y and since we have a lot roses in it, a lot rose-y. But, yes, we need more of chickpea flour over there. I have just started using this DIY so will let you know the results in some time 🙂 

    Till then, you might also check out the product and try it on your own in the house, what say?

    Tea Tree Oil for Pests and Mosquitoes {DIY}

    Swati · September 8, 2014 · 2 Comments

    Hey Everyone! This is one of the best Mondays for me which I am absolutely enjoying!! Why? Well, I shall reveal that soon enough. Till then, let me talk about a little trick which I used when there was a barrage of mosquitoes at my home.

    To get rid of mosquitoes and flies and bugs in the house, use tea tree oil. You can either take a few drops and apply it on the exposed sections of your body (I did this) or you could take a spray bottle and mix a few drops of tea tree in water and spray it on the windows and doors to keep away the pests. May be a repeated procedure would be necessary for a airy place so spray it once an hour or so.

    Or, light a diffuser with tea tree or lemongrass in the house. And, use tea tree while mopping the house as well!!! I use tea tree sometimes and sometimes its just ylang ylang or rosemary. But, whichever EO I use, the house smells amazing for quite sometime!

    Have you used tea tree oil as a bug and insect repellant?

    The Oil Cocktail {DIY}

    Swati · March 6, 2014 · 3 Comments

    It has been so long since I have done any DIY!! Anyways, I mentioned in my hair diary that I have been using an hair oil cocktail. So, let me share the recipe with you. Now, it does have some not very easily available things. In fact, I have them on hand right now but even I have no idea how to procure them once they run out. 
    Ingredients
    • Mustard oil
    • Camphor oil
    • Clove oil
    • Oil of Wintergreen
    Method
    You simply mix all of them, right? Ok, so, let me explain all of them. 
    • Mustard oil is the base oil in which all of these other oils go. 
    • Now, all these oils are basically pretty strong oil so they should not be used in heavy quantities. They should be diluted with the carrier oil or the base oil just like the essential oils. 
    • Put 20 tablespoons (20 ml) each of camphor and clove oils in mustard oil (100 ml). 
    • Put only 5 tablespoons (5 ml) of wintergreen oil for 100ml. 
      And, the oil is done!! 

      Why?
      Now, I have already talked about mustard, clove and camphor oils. 
      Oil of Wintergreen is basically a naturally occurring salicylic acid methyl ester from the family of aspirin. It is actually a medicinal herb which is widely used to relieve muscle joints and heal the skin diseases. And, it is highly toxic if used in high quantities!! 
      For our purposes which is how it is beneficial for hair and scalp, it acts like an astringent and helps contracting the hair follicles, there by, strengthening them. Also, since it belongs to the family of salicylic acid, it acts as mild exfoliant and keeps the infections at bay which is why it is used in cosmetics.
      The oil stimulates blood circulation and is easily absorbed. It has a warming effect on the area where it is applied which is why it helps with pains. But, the oil should never be taken internally or used in huge amounts on skin or hair or anywhere else!! I think oil of wintergreen (which is also called gaultheria oil) might be available in ayurvedic stores. Will confirm and get back on that. 
      Btw, I do have EO’s as well in my recipe but it just struck me now that I have no idea how wintergreen blends with other EO’s so it is always best to use it in seclusion instead of blending with oils. Yes, clove, camphor and wintergreen can blend together coz all of them are stimulants and relieve pain.
      So, what do you think of this DIY? Does it sound interesting for you to try out?

      Clove and Camphor Oil for Hair {DIY}

      Swati · January 8, 2014 · 12 Comments

      Ok, I have to say that I am not liking not spending time on my blog but honestly it is becoming difficult for me to concentrate and I am losing inspiration. I am literally forcing myself everyday to think on what I want to write. I wanted to post today but due to huge workload, I could not do it. Anyways, try and try until you succeed.
      Now, lemme come to my hair care routine. Well, as you have noticed, my skin and hair care regimes are all on hold so all those series will start once I really get settled. For now, I have started trying something very interesting. My FIL has a collection of some essential oils like clove and camphor. 
      And, the moment I told my mom I am suffering from dandruff, she asked me to use camphor oil. Now, camphor oil should never be used neat on the skin so I diluted it with almond oil. And, then, I saw clove oil over there. And, I had been thinking about clove since days together coz I like the brownish tinge it gives to the hair and it also is a great stimulant for the hair follicles. 
      So, I added in a few drops of the clove EO as well in my almond oil and it smells so strongly of cloves now. I have till now used the oil just once or twice but it does really help in reducing the scratchy and itchy scalp. So, try out. 
      And, if you do not have clove oil, just pop some cloves in a pan till they smoke and then drop them in your oil. Leave them for a week and then start using the oil thereafter.
      Have you tried clove oil for scalp?

      I had long back mentioned that banana peel is amazing to get rid of dry skin and dark spots and blemishes but my hubby contributed or lets says attested that banana peel helps with healing acne as well. If you rub the inside part of the peel on the pimples/acne, unless its cystic, it gets healed within a week along with the scar!! So, you might wanna check it out!!
      Have you used banana peel on acne?

      Ok, this is just a DIY and is not supposed to mimic the parlor cleanups. I just randomly followed this routine one day and totally loved it so sharing it with you. You can do this when you think you can do with a little bit of pampering. I have already shared all the DIY’s in this post on the blog.
      Ingredients

      • Face Wash
      • Homemade Body Polish
      • Deep Cleansing Mask
      • Nourishing Mask
      • Face Towel

      Method

      • Wash your face and neck thoroughly to remove all grime and dirt. If makeup is already there, remove it properly using the double cleansing method. 
      • Take this body polish and scrub your face and neck till all the granules melt off. This will take about 5-10 minutes at max.
      • Now, the next step is to use a deep cleansing mask or any mud mask which absorbs the toxins from the skin and leaves your skin glowing. Let the mask dry and wash off. 
      • Now, to nourish the skin, you can take a nourishing face mask and apply a thick layer. Let it dry. Relax in the meantime. Wash off. 
      • Follow with a toner or in my case aloevera gel. And, apply your favorite moisturizer or in my case a facial oil. 
      Body Polish
      I have already shared the DIY on the blog here. I would strongly recommend you to use this. But, you are more than welcome to use a good face scrub if you own one. Also, after scrubbing, you can take the face towel and dip it in hot water and wash off your face with it (instead of steaming the face). This is just to open the pores.  
      Deep Cleansing Mask
      Any clay mask is a deep cleansing mask. If you have one, that is more than enough. Otherwise, you can make one using multani mitti (fuller’s earth) and water itself. You need a mask which will only remove the toxins from the skin. The nourishment is the next step so don’t worry about it.
      Recommended Masks:
      Beauty Formulas Heat & Cleanse Clay Mask
      Liz Earle Deep Cleansing Mask
      Nourishing Mask
      If you have a nourishing mask or a creamy or hydrating mask, that is good. Otherwise, you can make one using cocoa powder and honey. You can also add milk cream or fruit juices or banana.
      Recommended Masks:
      Biotique Bio Pistachio Ageless Nourishing and Revitalizing Face Pack 
      I would suggest any Biotique mask like milk cream or clove mask as well. They are all pretty nourishing. 
      So, that was my home DIY for face cleanup. Do you have any alternate ideas? Do Share!
