Secrets of Simone's flawless skin and gorgeous hair. Her daily beauty regime:
I don't follow any strict beauty regime. Fortunately, I am genetically blessed with good skin and hair and  I have to do very little to maintain it that way. Cleansing and moisturizing my skin is one skin care routine, that I never miss.  However, I am very careful about the products that I use and never compromise on quality. I always choose the best  products and never settle for cheap stuff, as this can prove disastrous for the skin in the long run.  And that  goes for hair as well. For my hair, I pick only high-quality Garnier products that have natural ingredients and are devoid of  harmful chemicals.

Her hair care routine:
You might not believe me, but I don't have any special hair-care routine. Due to my hectic time schedule, I don't get enough time to fuss over it. The only thing I use is Garnier Hair colour and Ultra Doux Shampoo and conditioner. Ultra Doux has a very mild range of shampoos and conditioners with natural ingredients like figs, olive oil, walnut, lemon and other such things which not only nourish your hair but also give it the required lustre, volume and fullness to your hair.

The role of diet  on skin and hair:
I believe that what you eat always reflects on your skin and hair. I make it a point to always include a lot of fruits and green vegetables in my diet. Staying well-hydrated also helps. One vegetable that I recommend is cucumber and eat loads of it during the day. As our food mainly has lots of carbohydrates and proteins which are essentially acidic in nature, cucumber with its alkaline nature and almost zero calories sort of balances it.

Her diet regimen:
I don't believe in following a strict diet regime and eat what I feel like, but sensibly and in a right proportion and I do maintain healthy balance between healthy and junk food.  I love to gorge on a pizza or a burger once in a while.

To go from drab to fab in seconds:
Use a voluminizing mascara. Its effects are miraculous!

Simone's idea of de-stressing:
Reading!  It's a great stress-buster. The world of books mesmerizes me and transports me to an entirely different land and time. In fact, I devour everything -- Fiction, non-fiction, chick-lit, biographies, history, anthropology and so on and so forth....

Simone's favorite quote:
Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans by John Lennon

    Make washing your face when you wake up and before you sleep a habit.
    I was my face with a scrub, it doesn't have to be expensive.
    It scrubs off the dead skin. at night i apply vaseline on my face to hydrate it and in the morning i use clean and clear.
    Its in a little purple and white bottle that helps get rid of and prevent pimples.

    If you do this regularly it'll start to go away within a week. i do this everyday and night. i've never had a pimple.

    her favorite quotes---
    1. "Don't compare your life to others...You have no idea what their journey is all about."

    2. "What other people think of you is none of your business"

    3. "Time is the coin of your life. Be careful how you spend it, lest someone else spend it for you."

    And this is the hardest one, but the person who masters it is truly remarkable:
    4. "Forgive everyone, everything!"

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...
