Dandruff Home Remedies - Curing dandruff at your sweet home

Many medicines and medicated soaps and shampoos are available to cure dandruff, but the most effective is cleaning your hair properly. Brush your hair atleast thrice a day with a good quality comb and shampoo atleast once a week with a good anti-dandruff shampoo. Use of a 'pragmater ointment' at night is beneficial. While washing your
hair, take care the water does not fall down on your body or face. There are chances that you may get pimples. Some home remedies for dandruff are given below:


1. Take six spoon full of water and add two spoon full of pure vinegar into it and mix them throughly. Apply the mixture on the scalp with cotton wool swab before going to bed. Place a towel on the pillow to protect it from staining. Wash your head next morning. After shampooing, rinse again with vinegar water. Do this on any one day for at least three months if you want to get rid of dandruff.
2. Massage the scalp with almond oil and steam bathe your hair. Steam bath is taken by dipping the towel in boiling water and wrapping it around the hair, like a turban. Do not let the corners of your towel be wet, so that you can hold them. When your towel gets cold repeat it thrice or four times. Steaming opends the scalp pores and increases the capacity of the hair to absorb oil at its roots.
3. You can also take a spoon full of lemon juice. Mix it with two spoon full of vinegar and massage the mixture on the scalp. Wash your hair with an egg shampoo.
4. Oil hair well before going to bed. Next morning mix 1 tspn of limejuice with ½ tspn salt. Rub the mixture on the scalp with the peel of a lime turned inside out. Leave for 1 hour before shampooing.
5. Dandruff can be removed by massaging the hair for half an hour with curd which has been kept in the open for three days or with a few drops of lime juice mixed with alma juice every night before going to bed.
6. Take one part of almond oil, and pure sulphur in same quantity. Mix and add 'surgical spirit' in the quantity equal to the above two. Put four parts distilled water or rose water and rub on the scalp.
7. Mix one tspn of Fenugreek seed powder with an an egg. Apply the mixture and leave for ½ an hour before shampooing the hair. This works as a very good dandruff home remedy.
8. You can also prepare a homemade mixture of 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice with 100 grams witch hazel in 200ml of water and use it on washed hair. Applying the mixture several times as it is helpful in curing the problem of dandruff.
9. A herbal hair pack can be prepared at home by mixing henna powder, curd, ritha power together. Now apply the mixture on the head and keep it for atleast ½ an hour and afterwards wash off with water, after this wash your head with a herbal lime based shampoo for dandruff. Lime is good for curing dandruff aswell as it behaves as a good conditioner.

Face Cleansing Creams

Which cleansing cream you should use depends on your skin type and also on whether you want to use ready made face cleansers or you want to use home-made face cleansers. From the market you can purchase a face cleanser suited to your skin type; for instance if you have a dry skin, you must choose an: oil-based face cleansing lotion. For those of you, who favour natural products, I have found fresh milk a very effective skin cleanser.
Pour a small quantity of cleansing cream onto a cotton ball. Cleanse the lips and then the area around the eyes: begin gently with the eyelashes and then clean the lids, starting on the upper lid near the nose, work outwards with a circular movement and come back towards the nose under the eye.
Using another cotton ball, dipped in the face cleanser, clean the neck and the face. At first, it all seems rather complex, but after a couple of times you will master the steps involved in face cleansing and then the whole process of face cleansing will become automatic. It will then not take more than a couple of minutes. Finally, rinse thoroughly with warm water.


CLEANSING CREAM
1/2 tablespoon bees-wax
1 tablespoon emulsifying wax
4 tablespoons baby oil
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon borax (Boric powder)
1 tablespoon raw milk and a few drops of perfume.
Process of making Cleansing Cream: Take bees-wax, emulsifying wax, baby oil and coconut oil in a small china bowl and melt it on a medium heat. Heat water and boric powder in another bowl and mix it well. Add raw milk to it. Now remove both the bowls from the flame, mix the contents together and keep stirring till it gets cold. At the time of stirring add a few drops of scent to it. The resultant thick paste is ready for use as a cream.
