Sour Curd – 1 Home Remedy for Head to Toe Care (the Secret of Healthy Hair)
Hey there, how are you all? This has been a long-awaited blog post. I feel good that I’m finally writing it. Don’t know for how long I’ve been thinking to write it down! It’s about a DIY home remedy with Sour Curd. Which is actually the secret of having healthy hair.
Sour curd, a simple but well-known product as a beauty essential. People use it as a home remedy in many ways for its effective ingredient. Do I really need to rave more about this? I think you already know everything. However, I’ll be writing today about how this has become the most effective part of my beauty remedy, especially when it’s about my hair.
I’m not any ‘taking good care of hair and skin’ kind of a person. Life is busy, who have time and energy for giving a good amount of time to skin and hair? I always reach for an easy and shortcut way when comes to taking care of skin and hair.
I must mention, I got this Curd method from my Grand Maa.
Since I’m using this method, every time it’s been performing magically.

How to use sour curd for hair and skin?
I don’t really use it like normal people do…mix with a daily care pack, give it time to sit, etc. As I said before, I don’t have time or patient for all this. Maximum three times a week, I take 5/6 tablespoon of Curd with me in the shower. Before getting wet apply curd Head to toe, give a good massage…
No, I don’t take a long time for that, maybe 3/4 minute for the whole process. And then wash it off and start talking shower normally. That’s it! This easy-peasy method always does more than anything I need.
Why sour curd DIY mask is the secret of healthy hair?
First, let’s talk about my hair. I got fine hair genetically. They are straight, black in color, and thinner than usual. I’m a hair color freak and I do a lot of experiment with my hair. Every 2/3 months I reapply color without judging anything.
To add more, I hate wet hair and open hair when I’m at work or normally outside. Thus, I go through blow dry and hard styling sprays every day. Moreover, I take a hot water shower every day, quite a bad habit for hair, I know!
Don’t you think all these are quite enough to get damaged hair?
I’m proud enough to say, I have healthy hair. They are not frizzy, they shine, manageable without any live-in conditioner or such thing and I bet you won’t find any split ends. All credit goes to only my thrice a week 3/4 minute sour curd method. Within this short time it the condition, nourish, soften, and cleanse deeply. Trust me, from the first use you will see the magical difference.
Skincare with sour curd mask:
I have combination skin on the face, but body parts are mainly dry and sensitive. With this dryness and patchiness, a 15-minute open sun ray is more than enough to get burned. I meant actually burned not tanned, doesn’t matter how high SPF I use!
Don’t you think it’s quite scary?
Yes, I always try to avoid the sun but I’m bound to go out and how about managing dryness
Again, the simple thing… Sour Curd.
No, curd doesn’t magically remove tan/burn for me. It cleanses deeply, smoothes out any dry flake and restores moisture. Moreover, Sour curd contains calcium which helps to strengthen nails and also restore the natural color of the nail.
More benefits of sour curd:
I eat sour curd every night as my dessert. 2/3 tsp with a bit of salt, sometimes with sugar and sometime along. People say it helps to reduce tummy fat, I don’t know about that! But I believe it helps to purify the skin from inside and helps the digestive system to perform well.
Now tell me,
if I call sour curd my head-to-toe beauty cares essential, is it too much to say?
My r
andom feeling:
Whenever I use this I feel like Cleopatra ;p ;p ..I wish I could use milk instead of Curd!! But milk is expensive for me to take shower with so I’m being happy with sour curd ;p ;p
To conclude my rave post about DIY sour curd home remedy,there is some fact I wanna mention…
- Do not rub your hair much when you apply sour curd on hair. Sour curd softens your hair pretty quickly, so if you rub your hair much you might trigger hair fall. Even if you use it too much like let it sit for long or thinking to use every day, then also it can cause hair fall.
- Do not forget to shampoo and using normal conditioner after. If you don’t do that then the oily residue left from curd might harm your hair.
- Same for your skin as well. Use your favorite body wash and rub-off any residue left from sour curd, especially from the face. Otherwise, you won’t get rid of dry flakes of your skin. Also, contained excessive oil/moisture might trigger pimples on your face.
- If your hair is colored and you thinking to apply curd then keep in mind, your hair color might wash off a bit quicker than usual because of its acidic component.
- Do not expect that you gonna be fair or your facial spots gonna be removed magically. In a short, regular use of sour curd will provide you healthy and clean skin as well as hair. Only because, it cleanses well. Gradually you’ll notice your tan is fading away and adding a healthy glow to your skin.
Note for this home remedy with sour curd:
All the things I stated here are totally from my personal experience. So either you can trust me and give it a try or, you can just ignore it. Every product doesn’t suit everyone, so don’t forget to do an allergy test before you go for it. Though it’s a natural ingredient, you never know it might cause you allergy. Like I’m ridiculously allergic to cucumber, which I never heard happened to anyone else! Just Hoping this post gonna be helpful for you
I normally use sour curd by Aarong, because it is widely available here in my area but you can use any brand that is available to you.
That’s all for today. Do let me know how this Sour Curd – 1 Home Remedy worked for you if you’re going to try it. Also if you have a favourite DIY home remedy for hair and skin then please do share in the comments below.

Ponds Gold Radiance Youth Reviving Eye Cream | Review
Hello There, in this post I’ll be reviewing Pond’s Gold Radiance Youth Reviving Eye Cream. Do you care those saggy fine lines under your eyes or those ugly dark circle? Well, I do. I don’t have much of a dark circle but hate lines under the eye. We can easily hide dark circle with concealer but what about fine lines? Nothing can hide those pesky lines for sure. So, I went out to get an eye cream for me hoping that’s gonna help me.
Skincare Products in Bangladesh are not much rich, especially if I talk about an antiaging skin care product. There are a lot of Indian skincare brands available which I’m not really a fan of. Pond’s skincare products are one of those available widely in Bangladesh which fall within my preference. Thus, I picked up Ponds Gold Radiance Youth Reviving Eye Cream. Retails for BDT 650/- for 15ml, available almost every skincare shops in Dhaka.


Claims and other basic of The Eye Cream Claims
This cream is blended with some very effective ingredient along with the goodness of real gold to provide a remarkable effect. Will erase all your dark circle and under eye marks. Will treat the first sign of aging.
The product comes with a sleek golden color pump packaging like all other Ponds Gold Radiance range. But This one’s packaging is a bit better in quality than the Ponds Gold Radiance Day Cream. I adored the packaging this time. The pump always makes it hygienic and easy to use. Ponds Gold Radiance Youth Reviving Eye Cream doesn’t have any remarkable smell or I can say it a fragrance-free product.
When u apply the cream you’ll need max 1/2 of the pump, which means 15ml will last for really long. It has tiny-miny Gold particles in it but after applying you can hardly notice that. Applies very smoothly on skin, feels lightweight and absorbs easily. I must mention it doesn’t give any greasy feeling either.
One bad side for packaging, you cant see how much product is left there!

My experience with Gold Radiance Youth Reviving Eye Cream
I have been using Ponds Gold Radiance Youth Reviving Eye Cream for 2months now. Its been my part of my every night care routine. As I mentioned before I don’t dark circle, problematic fact for me is fine lines under eyes. I’m quite bothered by my smile lines so I used it there as well.
After 2 months of use, I can say I’m loving this cream. Whatever dark circle I had that’s gone (my daily routine helped me, of course) and I’m seeing quite an improvement in my smile lines. Although, I believe its gonna take time for under eye area but what good can happen more than this when those are quite in control!
Overall, If you are concern about your eye problem I’ll tell you to give this product a try. It’s a bit pricey compared to product amount but a little goes long. And for the benefits I got, I say this product totally worth a try.
What is your current eye care product? I would love to hear about that 🙂 Let me know in the comment box below.

Packaging of Ponds Gold Radiance Youthful Glow Day Cream
This Ponds Moisturizer comes in an easy to use tall pump-bottle. Initially, I literally fell in love with the packaging because of its gold accent. Who wouldn’t, no? Of course, my crappy picture doesn’t justice that at all!
The bottle actually looks very classy and attractive from the distance but when you see it closely you’ll feel the cheap plastic finishing. That I surely started hating after a few days. The pump on the bottle is ok. Because you cant see anything inside the container so you’ll never be able to see much product is left there.After using it few days the Lid got totally cracked without any reason. maybe it’s because of poor plastic quality…. and it doesn’t fit on the pump anymore. and I Hated this.
The most disappointing thing happened with the packaging after a week or so. The Lid of the Ponds Gold Radiance day cream cracked on me without any reason. I assume it is the poor plastic quality. After that, I cant close the lid anymore. Such a shame!

My Experience with Ponds Gold Radiance day cream
I’m having combination skin type. I got this product in January with loads of good hope, sigh!! It was winter then. First time I applied the cream it felt sticky and greasy. It didn’t leave any white cast but left an oily film-like shine on my skin. Though that will go away it didn’t show any symptom to get absorbed. There is some gold [ha ha], actually, glitter dust in it n which is pretty visible when you look closely after application. Don’t get the idea that the shine occurred by those the glitter things. It was the formula of Ponds Gold Radiance Day Cream itself.
Guess what, when my husband saw me with the cream applied; he asked, “are you taking any oil therapy?”
– His question was good enough for me to settle my mind for this moisturiser. Ponds Gold Radiance Day Cream is undoubtedly not for my combination skin.
Nonetheless, I did try to use it later on for those days when I wasn’t going out. The cream didn’t give me any sight that it was working on the skin damage, neither it was helping the skin to brighten up. While I was using this I faced so many skin problem and so I did stop using it at a point.
Hey wait, I’m not done yet telling you the story!
– Now I’m giving this Gold Radiance Youthful Day Cream a try as my night cream. Yes, ignoring the fact that it has SPF in it which is not suitable for night time skin care. Don’t blame me! It just the blogger mind, couldn’t resist doing another experiment. Yet after all this, I haven’t seen any beneficial sign on my skin.
Would I recommend Ponds Gold Radiance Youthful Glow Day Cream to you?
– hell NO, if you have a combination to oily skin. I’m also doubtful about normal skin type. Only if you have a dry to normal skin then this Ponds Day Cream might feel good to you.

How To Do Basic Makeup With Foundation | Base Makeup
If you are a regular reader of GreenStory then you already know that a few days before I started doing a ‘how to do’ type post on Base makeup. previously I posted Makeup With Pancake | Heavy Base. check that if you haven’t yet.
Today I’ll talk about how to do basic makeup with foundation. With foundation, we can achieve heavy, medium to sheer makeup which is more appropriate for our day-to-day makeup. I mean to say, makeup that is appropriate for individuals and not any stage makeup. I always reach for a foundation (liquid to be more precise), for daily makeup to party makeup. Using foundation for a base makeup is way easier than using pancake foundation of so.
Products for Basic Makeup With Foundation:
- a liquid foundation (obviously!) in medium to heavy coverage (as you prefer) in your skin shade (I used Rimmel for today, read the review here)
- A concealer of your choice (I used it here Revlon age defying spa)
- Translucent powder or any pressed/finishing powder (I used Revlon Colorstay pressed powder)
- Some face brushes like powder/foundation/stipple/concealer/kabuki etc. Beauty sponge if you prefer that.
- Face Primer of your choice (I haven’t used it here. A moisturizer can do the job as well).
Process:
- Start with a clean and moisturized face. Apply primer if you want. Then apply sufficient drops of your foundation. You can directly put foundation on your face or can take the foundation on the back of your hand or a mixing plate that your brush to apply that on the face.
- Start blending onto the face with the help of your brush. I’ve used ELF stipple brush here. You can definitely use finger tips for that, works almost the same way just with a brush it’s faster and easier. I prefer a brush to avoid messing with my hand as well. Blend your foundation until you get your desired smooth coverage. Add more layers if you want.
- Then apply concealer only in those areas where you need it. Like, if you want to cover any dark spots or brighten up your under-eye area. You can again use a concealer brush or sponge. I used simply my fingers here.
- Now, you are almost done. Just apply the finishing powder very lightly to set the whole thing. You can also skip applying all over the face, just apply powder in those areas where it tends to crease or gets oily. For eg, under the eye or T-zone.
NOTE:
- Your foundation might take 5/10 min to set.
- Choosing a perfect shade according to your skin tone is the most important thing. Then check your skin type with the foundation type. If you have oily skin then a water-based foundation will be most suitable for you.
- Try to pick those foundation shade that matches to your neck/upper chest area. If you look carefully at the pictures above, I haven’t used any foundation in my neck area but after completing my base it totally matches with my neck. You can also pick your foundation shade by matching with your hands. That’s how when you’re done with your makeup you won’t have to care for your hands if they are a bit tanned or bright.
- Choose concealer as close as possible to your skin tone to cover up dark spots.
- If your skin tends to oxidize choose a shade light foundation/press powder. Remember not to pick both of them in light shade, just one of them, either foundation or powder.
This is pretty much what actually I do to prepare my makeup base. You can also check out my next post on how to do Everyday Makeup.
Hope this post helps you to start with your makeup. Any suggestions, opinions, questions let me know in the comment box below 🙂
