    If you do not want to remove hair, but desire to make hair on your face less visible, you can do it with facial hair bleach. Facial hair bleach does not remove facial hairs, but simply make them less visible. If you do not have strong face hair, or you are bored with removing facial hair every X days, it may be a solution.

    The best way to remove female facial hair is also through natural remedies. An effective face mask to prevent growth of facial hair is made by combining lemon, water and sugar. The paste may be applied to the face in the direction of hair growth and left on for about ten minutes. Turmeric works as a natural bleaching agent and a paste made with turmeric powder and milk is beneficial for lightening facial hair growth. A mixture of honey and lemon juice may also be used to prevent growth of female facial hair.

    For those who want to reduce the hair growth on their face, turmeric again comes to the rescue. Regular washing with turmeric lessens facial hair growth notably.

    Apply a mixture of besan and haldi (turmeric) with a little water, to her face. When it dries, gently rub off. This will remove excessive facial hair. This is not a permanent remedy, but it removes hair without encouraging excessive growth.

    Try herbal supplements. Kalo has been shown to reduce hair growth. It is available in both pill and liquid form. You can find it in most homeopathic or natural foods stores.

  13. Use Kalo. Available in most health stores, Kalo is an herbal supplement that naturally slows hair growth. Kalo is available in lotion and cream form. Rub a quarter-sized amount on the area daily for best results. If used regularly, it will prevent some hair follicles from producing new hair.

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. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

The diminutive lemon is a very versatile beauty-aid and this cheap and golden-coloured fruit has excellent properties for enhancing your looks. Simple lemon-based preparations, you can mix in your own kitchen, will surely bring a dramatic transformation in your beauty regimen.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. 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...
