  • 5 home remedies to get rid of that sun tan!

    5 home remedies to get rid of that sun tan!

    Mild exposure to the sun is essential to the human body as it is a source of vitamin D. But on the other hand, over exposure to the sun can cause damage to the skin resulting in skin tan and burns. Skin tan is a common problem in summers as one might not always be able to escape the heat. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can cause early aging and skin burns. Here is a list of home remedies that can help you get rid of sun tan quickly and easily.

    #1 Take half a cup of chilled yogurt, a pinch of turmeric and mix well in a bowl. Apply the paste on the affected (tanned) areas and let it dry for at least 20 minutes. Wash it off with cold water. Use daily for desired results.

    Sun-tan-1

     

    #2 Take half a grated cucumber and add 2 tablespoons of raw milk or milk powder to it. Apply the mixture evenly all over the affected area and let it dry. Wash it off with lukewarm water and apply weekly to get the desired results.

    Sun-tan-2

     

    #3 Cut a tomato into two halves and rub the inner side of the tomato on the skin. Make sure that the seeds and juice comes in contact with the skin because that’s where the antioxidants stay. Apply daily for best results.

    Sun-tan-3

     

    #4 Add some raw milk into papaya’s pulp it to make it into a paste. Now gently massage the mixture over the tanned areas. Papaya is rich in vitamin A and C and also has anti-tanning properties. Use daily for at least a month for best results.

    Sun-tan-4

     

    #5 Turmeric is a natural skin care product and is capable of curing almost all common skin problems. Take 1 tablespoon of turmeric, half a tablespoon of lemon juice, some raw milk and mix well. Apply this paste over areas like your hand feet and face and rinse off once it has dried.

  • Here’s why we hate cricket!

    Here’s why we hate cricket!

    Cricket is such a waste of time! Really, who needs an action-packed sport that binds a completely diverse country together in a matter of just 50 overs (or 20!)?! Take a look at these 10 reasons why we detest cricket. Errmm… Read carefully before you pull the daggers out at us, wink wink!      

    1. In a country fraught with cultural and ethnic differences, a sport that is above all religion and beliefs! Like seriously! Isn’t this nation way better with intangible boundaries of all sorts? Something that brings us all together as one? Nah, we don’t need that!    

    01

    2. It instills patriotism you say? And who has time for that? Patriotism is so passé. Let’s instead watch American TV shows and totally forget about our roots… Way cooler, innit?

    03

    3. Cricket gives birth to international legends from India whose wax statues share the same space as Albert Einstein and Charles Dickens in world-renowned museums. Hmmm… So what? Even your best friend is pretty popular on Instagram and she hasn’t swung a bat in her life, right?  

    02

    4. The excitement of staying up all night to watch a final match with your pals at an ungodly hour can only be replaced by the thrill of going on a Mediterranean Cruise with Jennifer Lopez. But this kind of nerve-wracking exhilaration is so bad for your heart. You should totally be spending your youth sleeping on time instead!!

    4-giphy

    5. Cricket makes you alter your priorities once you give into the addiction. I mean cancelling on that dinner date with a complete creep you met on Tinder will certainly not do. You’d rather miss that once-in-a-lifetime kinda century for a snooze fest of a rendez-vous.  

    5

    6. Cricket creates illusions of awesomeness. Spotting a random stranger at a party wearing your favourite IPL team’s jersey and knowing you’re gonna be best friends for life… Who needs that kind of giddy happiness? Say no to Cricket folks!

    6

    7. We hate Cricket because it fills us up with sorrow. Watching your favourite team lose and drowning that pain with friends over beer is a memorable experience nobody wants. We’d rather be obsessing over our ex’s new lover on Facebook… so much healthier and relevant in the long run!  

    7

    8. Cricket brings the family closer… ewww… so not cool! Sitting together with your loved ones, hearts pumping over a missed catch… nah nobody needs that kinda bonding in this day and age. We’d rather send fake kisses to fake friends on Snapchat!

    giphy

    9. It’s so yawn inducing. Where is the entertainment? Is the match fixed? Is Virat Kohli REALLY dating Anushka Sharma? Who cares! We’re so not interested in what the world is talking about. We’d discuss trivial office gossip over such juicy details any day!

    9-virat and anushka

    10. Cricket fails to inspire. As if every 90s kid idolised Sachin Tendulkar?! Totally, not! We find Mean Girls throwing a fit about someone’s ugly shoes so much more inspirational. Like seriously… who wouldn’t wanna grow up to be one of them?!     

    10-Sachin tendulker

    P.S. – If the points above still don’t make you want to re-watch your favourite match from the past, chances are there’s something wrong with you! We really thank God for this sport that gives our life a new meaning every day. No matter who broke your heart or whatever happened at work, Cricket is always there to cheer you up! WE LOVE CRICKET! Do you?

    Summer makeup essentials: Lightweight foundations to get you through the heat looking flawless!

    Summer is usually a tough season to handle. Not only is it hard on our wardrobe, it also takes a toll on our skin and hair. Needless to say that just like the fabric of your dresses, the makeup kit too needs a bit of transformation. And if you still haven’t figured the right foundation for summer, here’s some help. Take a look at these lightweight foundations for summers that are perfect for getting that photo-ready natural look in the sweltering months. 

     Diorskin Airflash Spray Foundation

    Dubbed as the ‘Holy Grail’ of foundations by women the world over, this product is your saviour for summer. It feels very light on the skin, stays on for long and can be applied very easily. This mist foundation leaves an airbrush-like finish, making you look runway ready. It’s great for oily and combination skin and doesn’t cause breakouts. Although it comes with a spray applicator, we recommend spreading it evenly across the face with a buffing brush.

    Diorskin Airflash Spray Foundation

    Clinique Perfectly Real Liquid Foundation

    Clinique’s Perfectly Real Liquid Foundation is almost like a BB cream or tinted moisturiser in texture that provides light coverage for hot summer days. It is great for all types of skin as it is very light and works perfectly for women who are looking to even out skin tones. It’s one of our highly recommended lightweight foundations for summers.

    Clinique Perfectly Real Liquid Foundation

    Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24h Liquid Foundation

    This liquid foundation provides medium coverage and is waterproof and sweat-proof. With almost 2-3 touch ups in a day, it can last you from anywhere between 12-16 hours making it the ultimate day-to-night foundation. It has a dewy and natural matte finish and is packaged in with a plump applicator which restricts the amount you use. We recommend this product for dry skin and suggest you apply it with a sponge for best results.

    Lancome Tient Idole Ultra 24H

     Benefit Cosmetics ‘Hello Flawless!’ Oxygen Wow Liquid Foundation

    Suitable for normal skin type, this foundation provides medium coverage but feels very light on the skin making it a good product for summer. It is a little too light so fixing it with a compact powder is recommended to keep it in place, especially in the T-zone. This product is also slightly easier on the pocket and is amazing for people with a pale/yellowish skin tone.

    Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow Liquid Foundation Benefit

    These lightweight foundations for summers are sure to get you through the sticky, hot season easily but please do not forget to apply a sunscreen before starting your makeup regime. Confused about which sunscreen to use? Here’s our ultimate guide to choosing a sunscreen this summer. If you’d like us to review more products, please do write about it in the comments below.

    Flab is the new fab! All you need to know about DadBod

    Attention all men out there! It’s time to let the inner narcissist in you take a break as ‘DadBod’ is the ‘in’ thing this summer. Don’t know what we’re talking about? Allow us to explain.

    Gone are the days when women used to drool over ripped men with abs and a balanced diet. Spending those hours at the gym while checking out every chiseled muscle infront of the mirror for guys is now passé. Giving the same appreciation to those extra kilos, DadBod (with the hashtag #Dadbod) has recently been a new Internet sensation with women expressing their love for flabby men. The point here to be noted is that dadbod is NOT about fat men, it’s about those guys who perhaps were really fit once and now they want to let themselves a bit lose. Afterall, those few slices of pizza with beer never killed anybody!

    Don’t believe us? Take a look at how the internet reacted to #Dadbod
