Home Spa: Rose petal mist

The hot and cold water therapy for hair has already been mentioned to increase blood circulation and strengthen hair. The hot and cold therapy for the face is beneficial too.
In a bowl, bring some water to a boil. Remove from fire and put some fresh rose petals in it. Steam your face for 5 minutes with this fragrant water by covering your head with a towel. Now splash cool water on your face. Apply moisturiser.
This simple procedure unclogs the pores, removes impurities and improves blood circulation, thus refreshing and renewing the face. Soothes your senses too!

p.s. Rose water is made at home in a similar way, with rose petals put in hot water and covered with lid till it gets cool. It is strained and filled in a sterlized bottle and refrigerated. But this does not last long.

Hot and cold treatment to strengthen hair


I have found that rinsing my hair after shampoo with hot and cold water alternately has made my hair stronger.

Giving alternate hot and cold water rinses, increase the blood circulation of the scalp making the hair follicles active and strong. Do this four or five times ending up with cold water because cold water closes the pores.
