Hello Sugaries,
I am sorry as I was away for quite sometime. But it was a much needed break. Well, I am back with another DIY! This time it is at home facial in 5 easy steps! So without wasting anytime, let's get into it!


Step # 1 - Cleansing
 This step is the most important as you don't want to apply anything on your oily or greasy face. So take a cotton ball dip it in milk and cleanse your face thoroughly, remember to remove any oils or dirt from your face. If you want, you can use a cleanser, again make sure you rinse and clean your face properly.





Step # 2 -  Exfoliate
Exfoliating is to remove the dead skin from your face. So use a good scrub to exfoliate. Take a pea size amount and keep massaging it on your face in circles. Around your nose and chin and on your cheeks to remove any backheads or whiteheads. Once done take a clean muslin cloth and wet it in warm water to remove this scrub of your face. You can also DIY your own scrub here Coffee Scrub



Step # 3 - Steaming

Take a big pot and fill it with water. You can also add some lavender oil or just use some salt with two green tea bags. Once the water comes to boil, remove it from the stove and place it aside. Use a towel to cover your head completely. Now take in the steam. remember not to go too close to the hot water. Stay at a safe distance and inhale and exhale. The hot water will open your pores and will remove all the dirt and toxic which is deep inside the skin. Take steam for 10-15 mins and then wash your face with cold water to immediately close the pores. You may consult your doctor if you have very sensitive skin or just skip this step.




Step # 4 - Facial Mask
You can now apply a face mask on your face. You can use whichever you like or whichever suits you the best. The most common one is the mud mask which I often wear. You can also DIY mask at home if you don't want to purchase one. Just click here to read more Mask for Glowing Skin
 Keep the mask on till you feel the tightening on your skin. Mean while you can also soak some cotton rounds dipped in rose water and place them on your eyes to relax further. After 15 mins wash it with plenty of water.




Step # 5 - Moisturizing
All skin types require moisturizer. choose one which is best for your skin. For oily skin use a light moisturizer ,and for dry skin use a oil based moisturizer. For sensitive skin stay away from fragrance based moisturizers.

Hey Sugaries,
I hope you are in best of health. As I have been receiving lots of requests for DIY mask for Acne prone skin. I thought why not write one now! If you are suffering from acne read this post on how to get rid of those monsters!


For this you will need:
1 lemon's juice
1 tsp honey
1 egg white
cotton pad

Method:
Mix  all the above ingredients well and apply this on your skin using a cotton pad. Let this rest for at least 10 mins, this stuff may be a little itchy for some people but it has no side effects trust me. Let it work and just rinse it off! Use a heavy moisturizer as lemons tend to make your skin more dry.
Lemons help in removing the scars, egg white adds moisture and honey has natural healing properties and is anti-bacterial.

Hey Sugaries,
I hope you all are fine. We all love to experiment a little with our hair...don't we? But how exciting would it be if we could lighten our hair without using hair dye? Now here is how!



You will need:
1 lemon's juice
Equal parts of water
Spray bottle

Method:
Squeeze your one whole lemon, if you are using small lemons take 3-4 depending on your hair length.Take your equal quantity of water and pour these two in a spray bottle. Shake well and spray it on your hair then expose your self to the sun. The sun rays along with the lemon juice will naturally lighten your hair!

Tip: If you want ombre hair, just spray this in the ends of your hair.

All of us give up at some point or the other when we get frustrated from hair loss! It is inevitable and doesn't matter whether you are old or young this is going to happen. Read this post for a easy do it yourself hair mask at home! Let's get started!

You will need: ( All below ingredients should be taken as per your hair length )

Almond Oil (very essential)
Coconut Oil
Olive Oil
Crushed garlic

Method:
Take all the above oils as per the length of your hair in equal quantities. Put these in a clean glass bowl. Now crush your garlic in a mixer or chop it very finely. Add this to the oils and heat it in the microwave for just 30 seconds. Massage this on to your scalp and leave it to rest for at least 40 mins. Then rinse it off and follow with your regular shampoo and conditioner. Do this at least twice a week to see the best results!

Tip: Heating up the oil before applying it will open the hair follicle allowing the product to penetrate deep inside the hair roots.

Tip: You can also add Argon oil if you want to get silky hair.

Who doesn't like to have shiny silky hair? Hair dullness is a inevitable situation nowadays. In this post I will show you How to get silky shiny perfect hair!

Hey Sugaries, (as you are reading sugars's blog I thought to name you all that :)

As promised in my previous post, today i will show you how I make my own lip scrub. It takes less than five minutes and takes only two ingredients. So let's get started!



Things you will need:
2 tbs sugar         ( you can take white or brown sugar which every you like, i prefer white)
1 tsp olive oil      ( you can use Vaseline if you don't like the taste and smell of olive oil)
Food coloring     (optional)
Empty container  ( use old containers from creams or buy a pack for SAR 2 from Bin Dawood)

Like almost everyone the toughest thing I do is leaving my blanket alone on the bed... :( Yes I mean waking up...But as soon  as I'm done doing this I head over to the washroom for my daily skin care routine..
Here is how it goes.

1. Washing the face:
I like using a face wash which suits my combination skin type. You can also use face wash made for all skin types if not sure what skin type you actually have. I personally like the Boots cucumber face wash as it is soothing and gives a fresh look on my face.
Price: SAR 16
Location: Al- Serafi Mega Mall (Jeddah)

Many of us might be having that one special thing around the corner to come. But with loads of work, stress and fatigue our face also starts looking dull. Buying face masks can end up really expensive, so here is something i have been doing since years!

PS; This is good for all skin types. Happy glowing!

Now here is what you need:
 2    tsp olive oil (repairs skin, promotes elasticity, and is a natural moisturizer)
 1    tsp honey ( is a natural anti-bacterial kills acne and also removes tough acne marks)
1/2  tsp baking soda ( gentle exfoliant, absorbs excess oil and reduces redness)

Take the above ingredients and mix it in a bowl. Wash your face with your regular face wash and gently scrub your face in circular direction, this will ensure good blood flow and will instantly remove the dead skin as well. Keep this mask for 10 mins and wash it of with water. Remember your face might feel a bit oily but that's only because of the olive oil. If you are doing it during the day  you may use a toner to wipe away that oily feeling, but if you are doing this at night you can just sleep and allow the oils to sink further in the skin.
