Benefits:

  • A steam bath is a health giving activity that helps in getting rid of Bronchial asthma, bronchitis, coughs, hoarseness, non-acute rheumatic complaints and restricted or painful movements of the joints.
  • In addition, again as a supportive measure the steam bath is beneficial for persons suffering from: Sleeping disorders, particularly through over excitability, poor skin circulation, dry, chapped skin, muscular tension, muscular weakness in the subcutaneous blood vessels, and sensitivity to sudden changes of temperature.

  • Improve general physical and mental well being. And what’s more, a steam bath can also be fun.

Hot oil treatment

There are many products available on the market for hot oil treatments. They can also be purchased as oils and then heated and used in the hair. Generally natural essential oils are the best ones to use in hot oil treatments, as they can do the best to damage dry and weak hair.

Some of the more natural oils that are popular for hot oil treatments are olive oil, jasmine oil, coconut oil, and jojoba oil.


Hot oil treatment is used to give hair moisture as it gives the look of conditioned hair without having to condition every day.


A hot oil hair treatment, homemade or store-bought, can be an inexpensive luxury with a variety of benefits.

Hot oil treatments come in two varieties, oil that is heated in either the microwave or stove top, or a package that is immersed in hot water. Either variety will grant the same end results – conditioned hair.


Homemade oil treatments can be made with a mixture of common household oils, such as soybean oil or olive oil, and even the use of mayonnaise. Heat the mixture in the microwave or stove top, apply and massage into hair and scalp, leave on for ten to fifteen minutes for full penetration and rinse.


All oil treatments need to be used with caution as any hot mixture can result in surface or first degree burns. It is always a good idea to test the temperature of the oil on the inside of your wrist before applying to your scalp.

So take a few moments and treat yourself, those around you and especially your locks, to a luxurious hot oil treatment.

BASIC GROOMING GUIDELINES FOR THE LADIES...




1. Tweezing eyebrows;is seen to be the best painless way and easy way to shape eyebrows. Use one hand to hold the tweezer and the other to pull the skin taut. To maintain its original shape, tweeze from both ends Remove hairs that are the furthest down and between brows. Brows that grow further down make your face look sad.


2. Toners remove all traces of dirt, make-up or cleanser that remain after cleansing. Immediately after cleansing apply toner to the forehead and cheeks on a pad of cotton wool. Apply the toner to the crevices around the nose and the crevices around the chin.


3. To keep your skin vitalized and fresh and also increase cell transformation, use a peeling that removes dead skin cells and neutralize unclean pores. Gently massage either cleansing powder or facial cream scrub with lukewarm water in circular motions on entire face and neck. Exfoliating too hard can lead to redness and skin irritation. Thereafter wash the skin thoroughly with a cleansing towel.


4. For best effect on your skin, finish your routine with a deep cleansing facial mask. Select a re moistening mask if your skin is dry. Mud mask is deep cleansing mask with non dehydrating effects. Use your mask once or twice a week for best results.


5. Your skin needs to be moisturized daily; mostly on the neck. Apply from the nose outwards to the hairline. Massage in upward movements on the forehead, from the brows up to the hairline. These movements stimulate facial muscles and facilitate the quick absorption of the product into the skin. Use day and night time creams accordingly for extremely dry skin.
