Beauty with Lemon:

lemon beauty

Lemon lessens scars on the face and also gives shine to it. For every skin type we can make different facials with lemon.

For normal skin:

               If the skin is not too dry or too oily then it is called normal skin. People with this type of skin, take 
               lemon juice -  1 spoon
               moong dal   -  1 tea spoon
               Rose water  -  little
Mix all these and make it to a paste and apply to the face. The moong dal powder removes the dirt over skin and lemon smooth-ens the skin. Rose water gives coolness.

For dry skin:

People with dry skin take 
                Olive oil - 1 tea spoon
                Honey    - 1 tea spoon
                lemon     - few drops
Mix all the ingredients. First clean the face with a cleanser (unboiled milk is a good cleanser) and then apply the above mixture, massage for 2 to 3 minutes and leave it. In this lemon juice, honey makes the skin fair and olive oil acts like a moisturizer.

For oily skin:

In a bowl take,
                   Multani mitti - 1 tea spoon
                   Rose water     - 2 spoons
                   Lemon juice   - 1 tea spoon
                   water               - 1 tea spoon
Mix them all to a paste. Now apply it on face. This face pack cleans the oil on the skin and makes the face look fresh.

Success with four

career
If you want to grow in your selected career, in addition to personal skills you also need to follow some rules.


  1. Ability to speak in the public may not be a great skill if you don't have active listening capability. These are called listening skills. It should not be just for the sake of others you should listen carefully. Give chance for others to speak instead of judging others. In meetings try to give respect to others views also.
  2. Concrete planning will bring success one or the other day. To achieve this, plan for small or achievable goals. Frequently monitor your goals and try to achieve those. If you come across issues in achieving your goals, try to confront them instead of passing the goal itself.
  3. When you run into problems, instead of fear, your should increase on the exposure in different ways of solving the problem.This can only be achieved through positive thinking. You might come across unpredictable problems for which you may not find solution at that moment. Then you shouldn't stress out yourself from inside, instead take help from others.
  4. Few people don't grab opportunities as it might increase their workload. However when you want to grow up on the ladder, you move forward  grabbing the opportunities. Show your interest in the new work. However be careful in taking the work. Don't take all the work and later run into problems for not able to complete the work on time. Be selective and clear in the opportunities you pick.
