Beauty Tips From Kitchen # 2 Watermelon

Watermelon… don't we all love it….thanda -thanda watermelon…ah… there is nothing as refreshing as icy cold watermelon on a hot summer day.

(Googled:- Watermelon's botanical name is Citrullus lanatus and belongs to the family Curcurbitacae and is related to cucumber family. Watermelon contains 92% water, no fat or cholesterol, and is a great source for vitamin A, B, C and beta- carotene. Hence it an ideal health food.)

But not only our body loves it so does our skin.. Yes, watermelon is very good for our skin too. Some of the benefits of watermelon are:

• It is very useful for removing blemishes on the skin.
• Acids in the fruit acts as exfoliates. 
• It tightens the skin pores immediately (but the effect is temporary) 
• Helps in even skin tone. 
• Helps in Oil control.
• Gives a glow to the skin.. (yes one week of regular use gives me a facial wala glow)

But the fact is if watermelon is tasty and sweet we are tempted to eat all of it.. If its not that tasty to 'uska kuch bhi kro hme nai pata I'm not going to eat it'. That type of watermelon is free to use as face scrub or what not.. But if its tasty..well I've a solution…as that’s what exactly happened with me…my watermelon was sweet as sugar…

What I did was I used that red part which is left on the peels of watermelon.. Which none of us eat as if scraped out some white part comes with it… I scraped that small red part, put them in a bowl and kept them in freezer.. So that they will remain fresh for few days..I neither mashed them nor make juice of them..too lazy for that….now whenever I wished I would just pick one piece and rub it on my face and neck…simple…

What do you do when feeling lazy…????

One More Year of Wisedom

Today was not so happy day...I'd two exams in one day....so that calls for celebration.. as I managed to complete two exams with only hurting my fingers and neck... next someone family got hurt badly.. I came to know when I came back home in the evening...

Hence giving two exams on one day make you wise twice... so on my this years special day.. more wisedom...hence the title....

MY EXPERIENCE:- This is my first hand sanitizer and I'm just loving it. Dry really quickly. The fragrance is strong and lingers for like 4-5 min. It smells like u have just washed your hands with lifebouy like soap.

I cannot comment on its germ killing claims as I don’t have the microscopes as on TV commercials…hehehe….but I can say it does remove all types of smells… I have been using dettol on my wound (yes I got hurt on knee..buhu..buhu) and the smell of dettol lingers on my hand even after washing with soap…I feel as the germs are still on my hand , so after soap I sanitize my hand with Godrej sanitizer and the smell vanishes...

I have been using it regularly since last week 3-4 times a day and it is not drying my hands.

FINAL VERDICT:-  All in all it’s a nice product. Make me fall in love with it. Now I try to use it after every few  hours.

REPURCHASE:- No, only because I would like to try other brands also.

RATING:- 4.5/5 (-0.5 just like germs killed 99.99% instead of 100%.....hehehe…its 'coz as my first sanitizer I don't have any experiences to compare it with)
