Home-made bleach

Hi friends,

At the onset of a beautiful week, I would like to send my warm regards to all my friends.

Tomorrow is BMC elections in MUMBAI, and I remind each mumbai-ite to vote. Casting our vote is our basic right and we should execute it.

With a hope of having a cleaner and greener Mumbai, I proceed with Day 4 : Home-made bleach.

Ingredients :

1. Rice Flour : The high levels of PABA (para aminobenzonic acid) can act as a sunscreen.The allantoin present in it soothes sun burns and promotes skin repair.The tyrosinase present in it controls the production of melamine in the skin.It removes excess oil and sebum from the skin.It is a rich source of vitamin B which boosts new cell production and slows down the aging process.It helps to brighten the skin by improving the collagen and elasticity of the skin.

2. Lemon juice: it acts a natural bleaching agent.
3. Orange juice: it is also a mild bleaching agent and is loaded with vitamin C which prevents free radicals and provides freshness to your skin.
4. Turmeric: its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties are used to cure any acne , skin issues. It helps to brighten and lighten our skin.
5. Baking soda: Baking soda is composed of sodium and a pH neutralizer which exfoliates the dead skin cells throughout the skin. The pH of baking soda helps to neutralize the acid– alkaline nature of the skin.It acts as an exfoliant that removes the cellular damage in the darkened skin.Regular application will make your skin whiter, softer and shinier. It has anti – bacterial, anti – fungal, antiseptic and anti – inflammatory properties that clear all the infection on the skin along with its scars. It acts as good oil – absorbing agent to clear excess oil.It evens the skin tone and prevents the buildup from clogged pores. . It deeply cleanses skin by absorbing the excess oil.

Procedure:

Take on table-spoon of  rice flour in a bowl, add half lemon juice and one table spoon of fresh orange juice to it.(Do not add packed juice as it will contain loads of preservatives and sugar. Squeeze some fresh orange pieces into a bowl with hand. Orange is optional. In off-season we can skip orange juice)

Mix half tea-spoon turmeric and a tea-spoon of baking soda.

The moment we add soda , bubbles start releasing , mix the content well to form a smooth paste and apply all over the face and neck.

Let it dry for 15 mins then massage the dried bleach with wet fingers and then wash off with cold water(only)

Don’t apply soap on face for 3 hrs after bleaching and avoid direct sunlight.

Try this preservative free homemade herbal bleach to knock out the dullness from your face and find the radiant you!!

STAY HAPPY-STAY FABULOUS-STAY YOU!!

Love you all,
