10 Incredible Beauty Tips We Can Learn From Indian Women

 

 

Indian women know the power of beauty and they also know quite a few secrets to looking gorgeous that you might not. The best part of this is that a lot of their beauty rituals are centered around natural ingredients and don’t require you to spend hundreds of dollars. So if you want awesome shiny hair, glowing skin – give these 10 tips a try.

1. Fix Bad Tan Naturally
If you stayed out in the sun for too long, or got some unfortunate tan lines, or maybe you just aren’t a fan of that tanned look and prefer to be tan free – there’s an easy fix for that. Just squeeze the juice of one lemon and mix it with a teaspoon of honey. Put this mixture on your face as a facemask and wait for 10 minutes then rinse off. Lemon has natural bleaching properties that will remove some of the tan while honey will keep your skin moisturized.

2. Prevent Hair Thinning
Yes, there’s a bunch of different shampoos, treatments and vitamins you could use to help with hair thinning. But one of the simplest things you can do for your hair is to change up the parting once in a while. You see when you keep your hair in the same parting for years, you lose volume in your hair, it starts to lay very flat. And because it’s always parted in the same way and it’s the same hairs that are always first in line to be brushed and exposed to the sun – your hair might start thinning at the parting. Change up your parting and you can prevent that.

4. Get Rid Of Unwanted Hair With Gram Flour
One of the most effective ways Indian women get rid of unwanted hair is with the help of gram flour. Just mix some of it with water until it becomes a paste – put it on your face or any other area on your body that has unwanted hair and leave it to dry. Then just rub it off in circular motions. If you do this twice a week for a couple of months the effect might actually be permanent. That’s way cheaper than laser hair removal or waxing, don’t you think?

It really is a miracle product. Use it on your feet, knees and elbows to moisturize to soften the skin there. It’s a great natural hair mask that will make your hair look way more silky and shiny. Coconut oil also works great as a makeup remover. Just put it on everything!

Making a paste out of the leaves and using it as a facemask on the daily basis is completely safe and is a great alternative to chemical treatments.
