Rice water is one of those all natural treatments that has been used for thousands of years to cure a multitude of things. Among those things are hair and skin treatments. Rice water contains tons of vitamins and minerals which penetrate the skin and nails to cure things such as irritated and dry skin, and damaged hair. If you’ve never used rice water before, you should definitely start! Here’s how to use rice water for beauty treatments!
1. Dry & Itchy Skin
Rice water is extremely soothing and therefore the perfect remedy for dry and itchy skin. Using a cotton ball, apply rice water directly to dry, irritated skin and leave on overnight.
#2. Acne & Blackheads
Rice water acts as an astringent to the skin, and so applying it to acne & blackheads is a quick way to reduce redness and size. Apply rice water to acne and blackhead areas and leave on overnight.
#3. Shiny Hair
Looking for the shiniest hair ever? Rice water is packed full of vitamins and proteins! Use rice water as a hair rinse 2-3 times a week to reduce split ends, and overall healthier hair.
#4. Glowing Skin
Rice water isn’t just for acne and blackheads, it’s also a great way to get beautiful, glowing skin! Wash your face with rice water or simply use a cotton pad to apply rice water all over your face. Leave on for a while or rinse off immediately.
#5. Sunburn Remedy
Got a bad sunburn? Rice water is a quick and effective method to soothe burnt skin. Apply rice water wherever needed and leave on. The properties in rice water will cool the skin and prevent any peeling or boils.
It’s hard to keep up with your makeup in the summer, especially if it’s a scorcher…such as now! My theory is that when it gets too hot, makeup can go down a notch, and all you have to do is keep it simple! But of course a lot of us just can’t resist putting on a little blush and foundation because let’s face it no one wants to look all blotchy and uneven. So how can you prevent makeup meltdown during the summer?
HOW TO PREVENT MAKEUP MELTDOWN
For a fast fix, you can use an oil blotter to absorb the sweat where it shows without wrecking your makeup. This will ensure that all excess oil is absorbed and will hold you off for a while. Try not to dab too much as it can obviously remove your makeup after a while.
To prevent makeup meltdown from happening, rub on makeup primer as your skin lotion. It’ll smooth any creases on your face, and gel formulas will cool your skin on contact considerably, giving you a cool, fresh feeling when rubbed on. And of course this will wick away an oil you might have on.
The next step is to make your foundation work a little harder than it’s used to! The new whipped formulas go on super light but last all day, without settling into your pores and making you break out. Top it off with a light dusting powder that absorbs perspiration.

Kangana Ranaut is all over the news and there’s no sign of it abating. Kangana made her debut in Bollywood with 'Gangster'. Recently, in an interview she said,"I have acted upon my fears when I was struggling and trying to discover myself, who I am. But now I feel extremely satisfied with my discovery about myself, my inherent nature, about who I am as a woman and what my tendencies and capabilities are. I left home with none of the knowledge when I was 15 but at the age of 30 I know a lot about me.
And there is a sense of accomplishment, I am a three-time National Award winner, I have shattered box office records. Even if my journey ends here right now right, I have nothing to lose. I still have a huge success story in every which ways for the rest of my life."
"Why should I be fearful now? When I left home I wanted to be independent, now I am a megastar, I am a household name, I am a woman who knows herself which was the biggest challenge for me. If I am going to be fearful now, I am going to be fearful my entire life."
"What is it that this industry can give me? This industry can only take from me, it cannot give me anything. If my journey ends here, then too bad. If it continues, then good for them. I will do something else in some other field. I have a lot of faith in my abilities and I am not scared. I am not enamoured by this world and no one can pull my spirit down."
"It is for them (women) that I speak. When Karan Johar or Hrithik Roshan say anything about me and when I am shooting, I don't have time to react. I don't react for months. And because I am working, I never abandon my character for my personal gains.
"And whenever I get the time and I meet media, I talk. I am going to speak up for them who care, who write long open letters and write loving stories of faith and women empowerment. I speak for them."
Kangana Ranaut hit headlines again with her interviews. She also spoke how Hrithik cheated on her. This time she also opened up on her ex Aditya Pancholi. However, Aditya's wife Zarina said it's all rubbish. In an interview to Pinkvilla she said,"She was dating my husband (Aditya) for four-and-a-half-years so how can I say that she’s like my daughter? Impossible! On national television, she’s going on saying that she’s (Kangana) is like my daughter (Sana)… What nonsense is Kangana talking about?”
After this statement, Kangana's sister Rangoli took to Twitter and slammed her in a series of tweets:
If Kangana mt Pancholi in2005 n lodgd FIRagnst Pncholi in Versva Plice Station in2007 hw cn dey date fr4yrs Zarina g https://t.co/Ytkl9FDkh3

Sonakshi's hair and makeup was definitely on point, it's such a gorgeous makeup look to wear when you want to look glammed up and out there. She had really sexy bold eyes going on, A great palette to create this look would be the Makeup Revolution Eyes Like Angles Palette, you can start with applying a soft shimmer shade on the eys , preferably silver as she has the same going on , the palette has the exact same shade and it would look really sexy. Keep the eye liner thick , She even has a thick kohl going on her eyes , The Nykaa I am bold kajal has amazing pigmentation and is a super great kajal to own. Inner corner highlights are the thing at the moment, its so much in trend looks so amazing, it instantly brightens up your yes, go for a bright silver shade for the inner corner and highlight them well .

I love the bronzy look going on her face , the Benefit Hoola Bronzer is just amazing to get a sun kissed look just like her. As the eyes have been done up in a bold way , keep the lips muted with applying a brown or pink toned nude lipshade. This look will look super amazing for a club night out or a fancy evening party.
This Bold, sexy and gorgeous actress was seen sporting a beautiful makeup look during her Film promotions of Simran. The makeup is so appropriate for a day time party, lunch, movies or just if u feel like dressing up and applying makeup. Everything about this look is just Flawless.
To get this look , apply a nice hydrating moisturizer, moving on to a good primer that would help the makeup stay for long and help you achieve a smooth skin texture, The color bar perfect match primer is a really good one. Go for an illuminating foundation like LA Girl Pro Foundation or the Nykaa Skingenius one, it will help you achieve a dewy finish which looks super gorgeous. The best way to apply the foundation is to first use a Kabuki brush and then use a beauty blender to get a flawless base just like her . For eyes and blush, I would recommend the Freedom Pro Blush Palette which has some amazing shades , and you can use a soft pink shade for eyes and blend it really well. Blending is the key to a good eye shadow. A soft smoked out upper waterline will again look gorgeous, make sure to concentrate on the lashes , The Maybelline Falsies Mascara is super amazing to achieve such well defined and voluminous lashes.

Use a brown toned or cinnamon shade blush and then top it with a light pink , to get the perfect color like Kangana's. The Elle 18 lipstick in the shade Pink would look very nice , and it has a coral pink shade that is quite a good match to what Kangana is wearing.

Bigg Boss 11 is all set to be back on Television from October 1. The excitement and anticipation around the Salman Khan hosted show has been increasing day by day. According to the Bollywood life reports, this time the Bigg Boss house will be bigger and divided into blocks. A celebrity and a commoner will be living together in the block under the same roof.

Kangana Ranaut is not mincing her words and she is speaking about her relationships with Hrithik, and Aditya Pancholi. This time, Aditya Pancholi's wife Zarina Wahab slammed her in an interview with Pinkvilla and said,"I was going through some articles on my mobile and I read Kangana has said ‘She (Zarina) used to treat her (Kangana) like a daughter… This is completely untrue! When I knew she was dating my husband, how could I say she was like my daughter? That is ridiculous! Usually, I don’t react to such things, but these two things have been really upsetting! I was very upset when I read it! She was dating my husband (Aditya) for four-and-a-half-years. How could I say she was like my daughter? She has told national television that she’s (Kangana) like my daughter (Sana)… What nonsense is Kangana talking about?”
“There was no question of that happening. If she was dating my husband, how could she come to me? People who talk like this should have some brains. I met Kangana a few times because my husband wanted me to take her to Sanjay Leela Bhansali. “If I start talking like her, then what is the difference between her and me? I will only say one thing. She knows and so do we what is in Kangana's past. But today, considering the successful position she is in, I wish she had behaved in a more dignified manner... If she had behaved in a more dignified way, I would have liked it. I don’t want to counter any allegation.
What else can I say about it? If she found Aditya to be such a bad person, why was she with him? They were together for four-and-a-half years. When I first heard what she was saying, I felt bad for her actually. This is not the time that she should talk. Now what can I say, she can do whatever she wishes, but till today, I have never wished ill for anyone.”

Dry, peeling cuticles can be quite painful and look unsightly. Luckily, this is one problem you can solve without too much time or effort .
Make a homemade cuticle cream. If you have the time, you can make a really effective cuticle cream at home using some hand cream and oils. Here's how:
In the microwave, warm up a bowl of 1/3 cup hand cream, a few glugs of olive oil (or grape seed oil, if you have it), and 3-4 drops of lavender oil (found in the health food store) to a temperature that is warm but not too hot to touch.
Apply a generous amount to each fingernail and gently massage into the nail, cuticle and surrounding skin, spending a minute or two on each. The cream is extremely good for your hands (and feet!) and will keep your cuticles soft.
You can keep and re-warm this homemade cream for up to 3 days in your fridge if you store it in a dark glass bottle.
Get a hot wax treatment. If you can afford it, investing in a hot wax treatment at your local nail salon can work wonders for hands, nails, and cuticles.
During a hot wax treatment, a special oily wax is melted down and applied to the hands and fingertips. Then you will be asked to wear a pair of plastic gloves and place your hands in a mitt.
After 10 to 15 minutes, you will remove your hands from the mitt and the wax will be removed, leaving the skin of your hands and cuticles feeling soft and supple.
Use petroleum jelly. If you're looking for a cheap yet effective option for moisturizing your cuticles, buy a tub of petroleum jelly and rub a generous amount into the cuticles every night before bed. Petroleum jelly will soften your cuticles and stop them from peeling, but it can be a little greasy for use throughout the day.
Try essential oils. Essential oils can be helpful in moisturizing your cuticles, while also smelling great! Some of the most effective ones are jojoba oil and orange oil, while tea tree oil is great for clearing up any small infections.

In a pinch, use some lip balm. If you're out and about and your cuticles are bothering you, have a look in your bag for a stick of lip balm and try rubbing a little on your cuticles. It should provide some temporary relief until you can get your hands on some hand cream.
