Grandma has always had a remedy for almost anything! She has her lotions and potions, her magical beauty secrets and lots more up her sleeve! Ask her anything you want, and pat comes the reply! Timeless remedies from Grandma's magic hat for common everyday problems we all face............
Pigmentation
Mix together a pinch of sandalwood powder and a pinch of almond powder in milk to make a smooth paste. Apply on darkened areas of the skin. Leave it on for 10 minutes. Applied daily, you will notice the skin lightening in about two weeks time.
Face Pack
Mash one banana, add a teaspoon of honey and mix well. Apply generously all over the face and neck for 15 minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water. Makes for an indulgent face pack!
Body Scrub
Mix half cup of sugar with 10 drops of lemon juice and 2 tbsp. Olive / almond oil. Apply this granular mixture all over the body, while massaging in a circular motion. Leave it on for a few minutes, and shower as usual. The sugar granules slough off the dead skin, lemon is detoxifying and the oil is nourishment for the skin. You don't need any expensive spa treatment after this!
Shiny Mane
- Mash one banana, add a teaspoon of honey and mix well. Apply generously all over the hair and scalp for about an hour. Wear a shower cap to prevent the hair pack from running. Wash your hair as usual. A great way to soften hair and add a sheen!
- Try this pack for that dash of shine! Whisk two eggs in a cup of warm olive oil. Apply well to the hair working from the ends of the hair towards the scalp. Pack the hair in to a shower cap and leave for 45 min- one hour. Wash as usual.
