CLEANSING:
cleansing is the first essential step towards clear skin.It is the simple process of removing all that we have on our faces at the end of the day..which may basically involve dirt,makeup,sweat,sebum,oils,pollution particles that all form a layer over the face clogging the pores,and retrieving all the shine and glow of the face making it appear dull.cleansers should be selected primarily based on one`s skintype dry,oily,combination skin.cleansers come in different types forms like foamy,gel like,granular,washes,gentle lotions,microbeads etc..
method of applying:
apply required amount of the product all over the face and neck. massage it in a circular motion for couple of minutes.wipe off with a moist cotton pad.Rinse with water and pat dry.it should be applied in an upward and outward movement.the skin should not be stretched,dragged,pulled.

I m a DIY queen:

1. take 1 teaspoon unboiled milk,one fourth teaspoon lemon juice.mix them and apply all over face.....work in circular motion and wipe off with cotton pad.
2. thin slice of cucumber/ tomato / potato
3. take 1:1 ratio of cucmber juice and unboiled milk
4. you can use full cream milk
5. apply 1 teaspoon honey and pinch of haldi all over,leave it for 15 min and rinse with lukewarm water
6. take half cup buttermilk and add 2 tablespoon crushes fennel seeds to it.this can be used as a cleanser every day
7. simple and eefective is to add 3-4 drops of lemon juice to a teaspoon full honey and gently massage into skin
8. I can swear by oatmeal and curd/yogurt mix
9. more traditional way is to add 2 tablespoon ground rice to required amount of curd/yogurt
10. mixure of almonds ground and raw milk works wonders to skin
11. warm a cup of milk.add 1 tsp glycerin,1/4 tsp borax,1/4 tsp sodium bicarbonate till all three dissolve in milk.this is excellent for dry skin
12. take 12 tbs petroleum jelly,4 tbs baby oil.1 tbs bees wax and melt them together.when heated add few drops of rose essence/rose water and store it for future use.
13. rub the face well with an ice cube..u can make ice cubes with leftover green tea,cucumber water,mint juice and anything you have at that moment.
14. slices of apple can be applied to face.they remove excess oils and helps unclog the pores
15. we can use green gram powder/ besan chick pea powder with yogurt as natural safe cleansers.
16. mint juice is an effective acne control natural cleanser...
