Almond/badam paste for facial glow for woman and baby skin

The almonds are rich in vitamin E and nutrients, which helps to nourish the skin, lighten the skin pigmentation and keeps the skin smooth and glow. However, if you don't prepare the pack properly, it will not make any effect on the skin. Here, I am giving a method of preparation of almond paste, which can be used for both women as facial or skin pack and bodypack for babies. This preparation doesn't have any side effects.

The method of preparation:

• Grind the almond as a fine powder and keep it in the jar for daily use. 
• Then collect the creamy layer of milk, when you boil the milk for daily purposes.
• Mix both creamy layers of the milk and almond powder very well. 
• Then, boil the water in another vessel and switch off the flame.
• Insert the almond mixture along with the vessel into the boiling water and cover it for 30 minutes. The almond has to be cooked in steam using the double boiling method. This method helps the almond to combine with milk solids without losing its nutrients.
• After 30 minutes, you can see a thick paste of almond.
• Apply on your face and baby's face and body.
• Let it dry for 15-20 minutes.
• Wash it with cold water by rubbing the skin in a circular motion
• Don't use any soap or face wash for the next 6 hours.
• Please do it daily and you can see the amazing results.
• You can see the glowing skin of your baby.

Ways to reduce hair fall during antenatal/postnatal period

Prevention of hair fall

During postnatal period, I was struggled with hair fall. I suggest you to follow a regime for hair care to tackle hair loss. 

Wash hair daily or alternative days using tap water. It helps to maintain cleanliness of scalp and hair by removing sweat and dust.
First day, massage your hair with lukewarm coconut oil and wash it using mild shampoo after an hour.

After four days of regular hair washing, prepare a mix at home and apply it. 

• Soak fenugreek seeds in water for 12 hours.
• Take grinder, add soaked fenugreek with water (for hair glow and prevents dandruff), curd (prevents dandruff), egg (for hair nourishment), shallots or small onions (prevents dandruff and hair fall) and lemon juice (for cleansing of scalp and hair).
• Grind it as a paste, apply it on scalp and hair, and keeps it for 30 minutes.
• Wash it with mild shampoo.

Do it regularly for an year or through out your life. It helps to prevent hair fall, hair breakage and delays greying of hair.

Drink plenty of water.

Take rest by sleeping very well, when your baby sleeps.

Take plenty of vegetables, leafy vegetables, cereals, millets and fruits in your daily diet.

Do regular exercise if you can
