How can any summer pass-by without me talking about sunscreen :-O That would be a travesty ๐ Anyways, the reason I did not write about sunscreen till now is first because I wasn’t serious on the blog and second I have written so much on the topic last year. So, if you missed it, you can check out the entire list of posts here.
Skin Care
How to treat a water burn? {Skin Care}
So, on Thursday evening, I inadvertently placed my hand under a running hot water tap and the water was scalding hot. And, it burned my hand for almost a second. But, that was itself enough to burn the hand.
But, honestly, it didn’t really help much. It was cool for a second and back to square one next! Though, I don’t really think it is meant to help with deeper burns! May be aloevera gel from leaf helps though can’t say much but it does soothe superficial burns.
Homemade Castile Soap
Why I got into soap making is because my daughters aged 5 yrs and 1 yr have very sensitive skin and any soap I use caused dry flaky skin or dry patches with redness and itching on them.
Editor’s Note: This is so true. Read what I wrote about the difference between soaps and bathing bars.
Due to high glycerine content these soaps melt very easily and to keep it around longer you have to avoid holding it in the shower stream, and make sure that you store it on a well-draining soap dish, or else it can end up in a gloppy mess.
I make these soaps at home. Currently I have a batch thatโs cured and ready to be used. You can check more pictures here. If you would like to buy them, let me know.
Luv,
Waseema.
Editor’s Note: Thanks a lot Waseema for letting us know about the castile soaps. They are indeed really awesome!
