Sleeping Beauty :)

Every fairy tale has a happy ending. Don't you love the feeling of going to bed on a good note? Here's our night time beauty routine which we try and follow religiously:

1.Drinking milk: Milk is loaded with calcium and proteins which means stronger bones and better immunity.A glass of warm milk will not only give you a sound sleep but you can also wake up to glowing skin and better complexion. It also strengthens your teeth and is believed to relieve stress.

2.Brush and Floss teeth: Flossing helps to alleviate bad breath and get rid of germs hiding away in dark places. Helps to prevent yourself from getting gum diseases. And all this leaves you with a wide smile.

3.Makeup remover: Wet wipes do not work as makeup removers. If you apply make up, make sure you invest in a good make up remover or else you would end up with damaged skin.

4.Oatmeal Cleanser: This is an excellent natural face cleanser. Not only is it gentle on the skin but also acts as a toner and leaves you with smooth and healthy skin.

5.Tea Tree Oil/Aloe Vera Gel: We had previously blogged about the various benefits of aloe vera gel (please do read it). Tea tree oil helps in getting rid of stubborn acne and blackheads.Spread a generous amount of aloe Vera gel on your face and let it stay overnight.

6.Moisturizing hands and feet: The age of a woman can be easily determined by the skin on the back of her palm. The skin over there is very delicate and sensitive and therefore requires constant moisturizing. Cracked feet is no picnic either. Incase you suffer from cracked feet, apply copious amounts of vaseline and put your socks and go to sleep :)

Nature's Gift #2: Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a plant which contains in it a LOT of benefits! The Gel from the aloe vera plant can be used for a variety of purposes and it has worked as a life-saver in many circumstances for us. We always make sure we have atleast one tube of aloe vera gel in hand.

Here are some ways in which we use aloe vera gel:

1.Hair:

• It has anti-inflamatory properties which can reduce hair loss.
• It aids in hair growth.
• Can be used as a conditioner.
• Significantly reduces dandruff.

2.Face:

• Acne: Apply a thin layer of aloe vera gel on your face and leave it overnight.
• helps in fighting Stretch marks.
• Helps to reduce sun damage to skin.
• Since it has anti-inflamatory properties, it helps to battle sun burns, skin iritations and insect bites.

Theses are only the benefits of the gel on skin and hair as we use it. They are various other health benefits to aloe vera. Do research more about aloe vera...Its truly a wonder plant and it has worked in wonderous ways for us! :D
