Take one kilo karaylay, boil them, drain the water in a bowl. Now soak kaalay channay in this water over night. In the morning, pressure cook them with haldi. Now, blend the mixture in a blender (puree) and leave it overnight. Next morning apply it on your face.

For Dry Skin
1) Apply honey to your face and leave it for 10 mins... and then wash your face
*** really works***
2) apply fresh milk-cream to your face before bathing...for 20 mins
3)apply olive oil .... this also works...
that's all i know..
Yogurt is great if left on the skin for 15 min!
Lovely!

The skin glows, is radiant, supple and soft :)
Dry skin becomes elastic again and smoth.
MAYONNAISE. Apply whole egg mayonnaise on your face (right from the jar) for about 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water.
PEACH & BRANDY. Mash up a peach (use ripe, canned or frozen) and mix in a tablespoon of brandy. Leave it on for 20 minutes, then rinse off.
TOMATO MASK. For oily skin, mash up a ripe tomato and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm (not hot) water.
BANANA MASH. Mash up a very ripe banana. Add just enough honey to make a soft pulp. Apply over face and hair. This is such a great firming mask that aging movie stars have been known to put it in the cups of their bras to make their breasts "perky." (Just make sure that you don't use too much honey and you use a sturdy bra.)
HONEY MASK. Apply pure honey (straight from the bottle) to your face and neck. Allow it to set until dry (about 15 minutes). Rinse with very warm water.
MILK OF MAGNESIA. Apply it straight from the bottle. Let it dry for about five to ten minutes. Rinse off with warm water, then gently pat your face dry with a fluffy towel.
PEPTO BISMOL. This is a face mask particularly suited for those with sensitive skin. In the same way that this product coats the stomach, it gently caresses the face. Apply it straight from the bottle, using a cotton swab. Allow to dry, then rinse with cool water.
Orange Yogurt Mask
Ingredients Needed:
* 1 tsp plain yogurt (I chose Balkan Style)
* the juice of 1/4 of an orange
Stir to mix and then dip fingers into mixture and smooth onto face. The sensation is both cool and relaxing. Leave on for a five minutes and then rinse. If you are feeling sluggish, this is the perfect mask for you.

MOISTURIZING MASQUE
2 avocados, peeled and pitted
1 cucumber
2 cup shea butter
4 cup avocado oil
Put the avocados (super moisturizing), cucumber (cooling and refreshing), shea butter and avocado oil (both moisturizing) into a blender and puree until you get a thick, souffle-like paste. Apply the mixture to overexposed, dehydrated body parts and leave it on for at least 10 minutes. Though we don't advocate using water unnecessarily, if someone happens to be showering now, consider joining him/her in the bathroom for a few minutes so that the steam can help the masque penetrate. When you're ready to rinse, avoid hot water, as it's notoriously drying.
This thread is making me hungry.
