Homemade daytime nourishing creams

Daytime skin care is as essential as night time skin care. A really good nourishing cream should be used to pamper and feed the skin. Night time skin creams are a tad heavier than daytime skin creams. Daytime creams however are light, do not attract dirt and hence, they can be used comfortably during the day. Here are 2 such recipes for making daytime nourishing creams.

Cucumber nourishing cream

Ingredients:

Cucumber juice 4 tsp
Tincture of benzoin 1 tsp
Distilled water 25 ml

Method:

Mix all the ingredients well. Place in a refrigerator for 5-6 hours before applying on the face and neck. Leave it on for 20 minutes and then wash it off. Effective for all types of skin.

Oatmeal nourishing cream

Ingredients:

Egg yolk 2 eggs
Honey 1 tbsp
Lanolin 1 cup
Oatmeal 1 cup
Lemon juice 1 tbsp
Tincture of benzoin ½ tsp

Method:

Beat the yolks of the eggs really well and mix with honey, lanolin, lemon juice and oatmeal. Stir in tincture of benzoin. Store it in a bottle in a refrigerator. Whenever you want, just take a dollop of it in your palm and massage on the face, neck and forehead with a circular motion and leave it on for 15 minutes. Wash off with luke warm water. Good and effective for dry skins.

    Neutrogena Cream for Sensitive Skin works wonders. It's oil free and helps create a lot of moisture without shine. You would just apply a quarter size amount to your hand and then rub over your entire face and neck. You should use it at LEAST every morning, but every morning and night is even better

    Almond nourishing CreamThis is a good recipe for blemished and rugged skin.
    Soak 15-20 almonds overnight and grind to a paste. Mix this with 100 gm yogurt. Apply this evenly on your face and neck. After one hour, wash it with lukewarm water.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
