Vicky (@vicky84201) shared the ‘organic’ skincare recipe in a TikTok video.

She explained that the DIY face wash was great “for hyperpigmentation and anti-aging properties.”

To start, she made oranges, pomegranates, green tea, rice water, honey, turmeric and soap base.

In a glass, she heated a bag of green tea in rice water, oranges and pomegranate juice in the microwave.

After extracting the green tea, she stirred the mixture thoroughly.

She transferred the juice to a large glass jar and added the honey, turmeric and soap base.

After another round in the microwave for 40 seconds, she transferred the finished face wash into a spray bottle.

“You’re done! Ready for a brighter, more even skin tone,” she said.

When she was ready to cleanse her skin, Vicky simply gave her face a few good spritzes and a good splash of water.

“It works,” she said simply.

People were excited to try her DIY and many thanked her for sharing.

“Keep up the good work,” said one commenter.

“It’s just amazing,” said another.

“It turned out great!” said a third.

A garden expert has a simple solution to combat even the most stubborn and interwoven outdoor weeds.

You may already have the three ingredients at home and you can use them safely around children.

Environmentalist and founder of Moral Fibers Wendy Graham shared her highly effective ‘homemade weed killer recipe’.

The trick will keep weeds away from your patio without using harsh chemicals and toxic ingredients.

“Weedkiller is one of those things that makes me a little uncomfortable. I have small children, so I don’t like keeping it in the house, and I certainly don’t like using it in the garden,” she said in an interview with Emphatic.

Her sustainable remedy uses three common kitchen items: white vinegar, salt and dish soap.

Each item has a unique purpose to address the annoying problem in your garden.

“The vinegar and salt help dry out the weeds. Meanwhile, the dish soap causes the salty vinegar solution to stick to the weed leaves,” she explains.

The detailed application process for the DIY recipe can be found below.

Keep pets away from the patio after this solution has been sprayed, but it is safe for children to be around.

Leave it on the weeds for at least an hour before rinsing it away.

Rinse off the homemade weed killer by pouring a bucket of boiling water on the weeds.

It is also important to flush the agent away so that local wildlife does not walk over the weeds at night.

Salt and vinegar can damage their paws or cause illness if ingested.

“It’s very effective: within an hour you should notice the weeds starting to wilt,” Wendy said.

They begin to dry out, turn brown and die.

This is a very effective and super easy weed killer that doesn’t involve hours of pulling weeds out of the ground.

No matter how extensive or quick your morning routine, this homemade mist spray is worth bringing along.

A skincare fanatic showed her followers how to make the three-ingredient solution, which also has anti-aging properties.

In her videoKate (@yourmategingerkate) explained how to get “that feeling of freshness and hydration in a spray.”

The TikToker has persuaded her viewers to make her 'morning miracle mist'.

For her first step, Kate added a tablespoon of aloe vera gel to a 3-ounce spray bottle.

She explained that aloe helps hydrate the skin and soothes irritation.

The antioxidant-rich ingredient can also help control acne, promote healing and prevent aging.

“After your aloe vera gel, add two teaspoons of vitamin E oil,” Kate told her audience.

Vitamin E oil also has anti-aging properties and “softens and softens the skin.”

The “powerful antioxidant” also helps support skin healing and reduce scarring.

For her final ingredient, Kate poured 24 ounces of rosewater into the mixture.

The ingredient helps balance the skin's pH, reduce redness and improve radiance.

It is rich in antioxidants and can even be used as a natural toner for your complexion.

“Mix it all until it's all combined and you can pour this straight into your bottle, or if you want to give it a boost we're going to add frankincense,” Kate said.

She added five drops of essential oil and explained that it can penetrate the cells and aid in their renewal.

“It's literally the serum of the gods,” Kate told her audience as she sprayed the mist onto her face.

“That feels good, what a boost in the middle of the day, just put it in your handbag.

“This is it in natural light, as you can see, it looks very hydrated and fresh, but not oily and greasy at all.”

Her followers shared their thoughts on the DIY mist spray in the comments section.

“Thank you for getting me back to the other side with natural, effective choices

Justine Marjan (@justinemarjan) has more than 136,000 followers on TikTok, where she gives a glimpse into her career in LA.

The hair expert sported long, shiny black locks as she revealed a DIY mask she swears by for her locks.

“One of my favorite natural hair treatments uses rice,” she said, holding up a bag full of grain.

“I'm just going to add half a cup of rice to a bowl with two to three cups of water.

“Leave it overnight and then strain the rice.

“Put the liquid in one of those bottles,” she said, showing an applicator bottle.

“Or a spray bottle, or you can just put it in a cup if you don't have either of those options.”

Justine recommended applying rice water directly to the scalp after shampooing and leaving it on for 20 minutes before rinsing and using conditioner.

She revealed that the treatment only needs to be done once a week to be effective.

“Rice is packed with so many vitamins and nutrients,” she said.

“It's great for hair growth, it prevents hair loss and it increases the strength and elasticity of your hair.

“It prevents breakage and split ends.”

“Rapunzel is shaking,” she added.

More than 13,000 people liked the video and hundreds took to the comments section to try out the hack for themselves.

“OMG I wanted to try this!!!” wrote one person.

“Amazing!! Is it just white rice?” asked another. “Yes!” Justine replied.

Using rice water to stimulate hair growth and prevent graying has proven popular in many regions of Asia.

Proponents say it helps detangle hair, improve smoothness, increase shine and make hair stronger.

Rice water is believed to contain vitamins and minerals such as amino acids, B vitamins, vitamin E and antioxidants.

However, an article published by MedicalNewsToday suggests that most scientific evidence about treatment is inconclusive.

More research is needed to support anecdotal evidence about the benefits of rice water for hair.

Shark Tank India Season 3 Final Episode: An alternative milk company tries to market their products by selling the 'mlk' but is confronted by the sharks who have some legitimate questions.

Shark Tank India Season 3: Not every day is the best day for pitchers Shark Tank India Season 3. Sometimes the jackpot hits and they get more than they asked for without even diluting enough equity. But some days it's either not the right pitch or the right question, leaving them empty-handed. That's exactly what happened in the last episode of Shark Tank India Season 3 when an alternative milk brand company appeared to be asking for financing for their various plant-based milk products. AltCo. introduced themselves as the alternative to real milk.

The products and packaging looked attractive, but the ingredients and the field did not match their idea of ​​growth. The Sharks told the pitchers to be clear with their vision and not trick the crowd. The brand sells soy milk and other types of drinks as an alternative to milk. When Radhika took the tetra pack and checked the ingredients, it said sunflower oil and other types of oil, which made her a bit doubtful. She asked the jars about the ingredients and whether they were safe for the children. The pitchers explained the importance of using these oils in the product but could not say whether these ingredients are helpful in a child's growth or not. However, they emphasized that they do not use many of the artificial ingredients and preservatives that other brands use in their products.

None of the sharks agreed to invest money in the brand simply because they could not break through their vision, their idea of ​​building trust among consumers and the market, where there are already many brands making similar products .

Shark Tank India Season 3 witnesses many interesting pitches where sharks seem compelled to invest in a brand. Sometimes even more than what the pitchers asked for. The show has introduced more sharks to their format this season. The new names include Ronnie Screwvala, Radhika Gupta, Deepinder Goyal, Ritesh Agarwal and Azhar Iqubal. The other sharks who continue to hear the pitches and give tips are Anupam Mittal, Aman Gupta, Vineeta Singh, Namita Thapar, Aman Jain and Piyush Bansal.

Shark Tank India Season 3 airs Monday to Friday at 10 PM on Sony Television. Stay tuned to this page for the latest updates on the show!

When her alarm rings at 7am, Bella Bees springs out of bed to prepare for the day ahead. Before she even thinks of breakfast, she sits down at her vanity table to film herself getting ready for her TikTok followers.

Hers is a five-step routine involving all the latest anti-ageing products, including retinol eye cream (which, she says, stimulates collagen) and hyaluronic acid serum (to reduce lines).

It might cost £200 a month — she includes glycolic acid at night (‘to help remove the top layers of dead skin’) — but Bella is adamant it’s worth the expense to hold back time.

‘It’s an investment in my future self,’ she says. ‘These products are important to my life because I want to prevent ageing. Who would want wrinkles if there is a way to stop them?’ Not that she’s in danger of seeing the signs of ageing any time soon; Bella is only 13 years old. An age when most of us were content with soap and a splash of water, a first foray into moisturiser, at most.

But not so today’s tweens. Dermatologists are warning that children as young as ten are increasingly putting pressure on their parents to buy them expensive, anti-ageing skincare products — to the detriment of their young, sensitive skin.

SK:N Clinics Dermatologist Dr Aiza Jamil believes there is no need for it. She stresses that a skincare routine should typically only include cleansing, moisturising and a sunscreen — and cautions there are dangers when children use strong skincare ingredients.

‘The important thing to remember is that it’s only after the age of 25 that you start to see a decline in collagen, which can trigger the signs of ageing,’ she explains.

‘Before that you’re still growing and producing lots of collagen — so you just don’t need anti-ageing products. You’re not losing anything you need to replace.’

Dermatology nurse practitioner Louise Walsh agrees: ‘Young skin works efficiently by itself so shouldn’t need these ingredients. We need more “active” skincare as we age because the skin becomes lazy and less efficient at renewing itself and recovering from day to day stressors: heating, air-con, diet, pollution, sun exposure etc.

‘Under-16s should avoid Retinoids and high concentrations of Vitamin C. Retinoids [of which retinol is a type] are too strong for younger skin and may cause irritation and will increase sensitivity to the sun.’

So how and why are children like Bella suddenly so interested in skincare they don’t need?

‘I know it must be hard for older people to get their head around the fact that I don’t want wrinkles,’ she says. ‘But I believe my routine will pay off later on in life. As for now, I don’t suffer from breakouts. My skin is very perfect, actually.’

It’s an approach taken by the many child influencers detailing their beauty routines on social media, such as 12-year-old Ruby Alexis, whose ‘get ready with me’ skincare routine videos have racked up more than 1.2 million likes.

Then there’s the enticing packaging. Celebrity-favourite skincare brand Drunk Elephant is known for its brightly coloured aesthetic and cute product names, such as the best-selling Lala Retro Whipped Cream (a moisturiser to you and me) which contains fermented green tea to combat signs of ageing, though the brand says this product is safe for kids and tweens to use.

The brand, which has 1.2 million followers on TikTok, has recently faced criticism for attracting children to its products. But have they gained this younger client base by design?

Founder Tiffany Masterson disagrees. ‘I’ve been reading that I chose the colours and packaging to target children. This couldn’t be further from the truth and the truth is never as interesting, but I chose the colours and packaging because it happened to be my aesthetic,’ she has said.

In a post on the brand’s Instagram account, it was also stated: ‘Many of our products are designed for all skin, including kids and tweens. First, I would say stay away from our more potent products that include acids and retinols — their skin does not need these ingredients quite yet.’

Samantha Sykes has spent 15 years managing a high-end beauty store and has seen her customer demographic change dramatically over the past year-and-a-half.

‘Before our average customer was mid-30s,’ she says. ‘Suddenly we are seeing girls as young as eight or nine, dragging their mums with them to pay for their luxury skincare.

‘They are asking for creams they don’t need at their age, which typically cost upwards of £50 per item.

‘Our policy is not to sell them products with 1 per cent retinol. Those strong retinol creams can cause severe irritation to the skin if used incorrectly, especially around the eyes. These children have no idea what they’re using or how to use it and could harm their skin. While TikTok has a lot to answer for, their mums will often still go ahead and purchase it for them. It’s madness.’

Bella, who has an older sister, aged 16, and three younger sisters, aged 11, eight and seven, says her grandmother introduced her to skincare. ‘I was about 12 when my gran told me to start looking after my skin,’ she says. ‘She gave me some moisturiser and said that as my older sister has spots, she was worried my skin was going the same way.’

Bella’s skincare collection now includes rose-based micellar water to cleanse, The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution, a retinol eye cream, followed by Beauty Pie Triple Hyaluronic Acid anti-ageing serum with ‘plumping idealift’.

She had to ditch one oil-based moisturiser which made her skin ‘greasy’. But as well as the cost to the complexion, there’s the financial hit.

‘I get £10 a week pocket money, which doesn’t go far, but I manage to find cheaper items on sites such as eBay and Vinted because they’re massively discounted. If I go into town with my friends, I go to the stores where they’ll give you samples.

‘None of us want wrinkles. I want to look my best, I don’t want to age. Now is the best time to start caring for our skin.’

Bella has no qualms about undergoing surgery or so-called tweakments in future, either.

‘My gran has filler and Botox. I’d definitely consider both especially Botox as it makes you look pretty.’

Her healthcare worker mother, Hannah Bees, 33, says: ‘My girls have better skincare routines than me. There are times I catch myself thinking, “Should I be doing it too?” From a parent’s perspective, it’s hard because they expect me to look a certain way.

‘They compare me to other mothers and I don’t want to embarrass them. There’s so much pressure.’

That said, she admits her own routine is confined to an Aldi moisturising day and night cream.

‘My eldest daughter has developed spots on her face and no matter how many times I explain to her it’s because her skin can’t breathe under everything she puts on it, I might as well be talking to the wall. No matter how often I explain to them that what they see online isn’t real life, I fear they’ve had this instilled into them. They’re obsessed.’

Even where young girls aren’t using products containing specific anti-ageing ingredients such as retinol, their skincare routines are incredibly involved for their age.

Florence Marshall’s hobbies include dance, acrobatic gymnastics, yoga classes — and a ‘regular day and night skincare routine’ that involves four different steps.

The 11-year-old, from Herefordshire, explains: ‘I cleanse my face twice because everyone does a double-cleanse. I then use a roller and face massager. The jade roller unblocks pores and stimulates blood flow in your face. One of my friends recommended it. It takes me about 15 minutes to get my face ready for school — it’s quite quick. At the weekends, I will spend 20-25 minutes.’

At a cost of about £85 a month, Florence’s focus on skincare began when she discovered Instagram influencer Madi France, who at the grand old age of 13 reviews skincare products and has 65,000 followers.

‘Before, I had red skin around my nose and also spots by my ears and chin. Now once a month I use Body Shop Vitamin C liquid peel and Vitamin C face mask. I have sensitive skin so I am careful about which brands to use.’

She adds: ‘I use Florence By Mills Swimming Under The Eyes Gel Pads costing £34 for 60 pads. They’re nice and gentle for my skin. They get rid of bags and de-puff my eyes.’

Do 11-year-olds worry about puffy eyes? ‘I usually get bags under my eyes if I haven’t had enough sleep or I’ve been drinking tea, then I’ll do a Love You Latte face mask,’ Florence explains. ‘It’s supposed to ensure my skin retains moisture all day.’

Florence’s mum, Andrea, 41, who works for a Multi-Academy Trust, worries about the mixed messages around young skin. ‘It does leave me feeling that girls my daughter’s age could be exploited by clever marketing campaigns,’ she says.

‘Florence would use a lot more products if I allowed her.

‘Some companies are presenting them as ‘healthy’ — which is something Florence’s age group are interested in. They don’t realise the fact they are often designed for adults means that they’re not necessarily ‘healthy’ for their own skin.’

Florence has taken to posting her complex routine online, achieving 1,900 views for her latest video within nine days.

‘Her other videos she made were of her playing with her Sylvanian families,’ says Andrea. ‘But there is clearly an appetite for these sorts of videos at the moment.’

Experts fear that the influx of tween and teen ‘influencers’ are doing more harm than good.

Psychotherapist and anxiety expert Kamalyn Kaur says: ‘Placing such a heavy focus on skincare at such a young age can instill the belief that their natural appearance is inadequate.

‘This in turn fosters unrealistic beauty standards, which negatively impact self-worth. It is also conditioning young children to believe that there is something wrong with ageing.’

Sheena Harewood, 48, who works in customer service, admits to feeling relaxed about her 16-year-old daughter’s interest in skincare. She says: ‘I’m laid back about what she uses, even though she did try a charcoal product once which didn’t go well.

‘Her skin reacted badly to the product and she looked like she’d been slapped.’

Her daughter, Layla Duffy, who aspires to become a lawyer, was 13 when she started caring for her skin after getting acne: ‘I saw one doctor but their attitude was ‘you’ll grow out of it’ so I had to work out what products to use on my own.’

As a result, Layla now uses a variety of soaps, gels, toners and creams, including a Vitamin C serum and a retinol serum.

‘Children might think they are future-proofing their skin,’ says dermatologist Dr Aiza Jamil.

‘But using anti-ageing products too early can cause long-term damage to the skin barrier, making you prone to spots, photosensitivity and allergic reactions.

‘In short, it can invite more problems than it solves.’

VIEW ON Super Bowl Sunday, a home chef got started with a football viewing party: chips and dip.

As a budget professional, she was happy to discover it only cost $20 for three dishes.

A home chef who comes by @dollartreedinners often shares the recipes she comes up with using products from her favorite budget store.

And thinking about her Super Bowl party, she created three dips with Dollar Tree ingredients.

The total? Only $20.

She shared the shopping list: two blocks of cream cheese mixture, one block of cheddar, one block of mozzarella, two cans of chicken, canned chili, canned Rotel, parmesan cheese, ranch dressing, Velveeta cheese sauce, Frank's Buffalo sauce and frozen spinach.

“And the $20 price also includes two bags of tortilla chips and a pack of aluminum cans for baking your dips,” she said in the paper. clamp.

Since all the dips are cream cheese based, she cut the two blocks into thirds and divided them among the three dishes.

“[This] keeps costs down,” she said, noting it is cheaper than buying a third block.

She did the same process with the mozzarella and cheddar blocks, cutting each into thirds and shredding the third into bowls.

“I'm going to save the mozzarella cheese for the spinach dip, I'm going to save the cheddar cheese for the chili dip, but then for the buffalo dip I can make a mixture of both cheddar and mozzarella, so I spread them out evenly.”

All three dips start the same: microwave the cream cheese for 15-30 seconds and then froth it up with a spatula.

“With the first dip you get a can of chili, a can of Rotel [drained beforehand]and a pack of Velveeta cheese sauce.

Mix that together, pour it into an aluminum tin and cover with grated cheddar.

For your second dip, add two cans of drained chicken, the bottle of Frank's Buffalo Wing sauce, and half of the bottle of ranch dressing – that's about a cup.

Place that mixture in another tin and brush it with the cheddar and mozzarella mixture.

And finally, for the spinach dip, you'll want to thaw the frozen bag of spinach, drain it, and add it to your cream cheese, along with a whole jar of Parmesan cheese.

Put it in your baking tin and garnish with grated mozzarella.

Bake them together at 400 degrees for 18 minutes, toasting them a bit if you want a brown surface.

As for her favorite? The buffalo chicken took the cake.

“Although I loved all three of those things.”

Viewers appreciated her ideas.

“You are carrying so many of us through the recession and inflation, please keep going,” one person wrote.

“I needed this,” another added.

A SKINCARE enthusiast said she will never use some of the most popular home ingredients in her home remedies.

She said there is a fruit that can make you break out and an oil that can cause acne.

TikToker Zaila (@zaila.skin) may love natural skin care, but that doesn't mean all edible products are suitable for your face.

Zaila shared the top three ingredients you “should avoid in your homemade skincare recipes,” she said. “Many of you may be surprised.”

The skincare professional said the number one irritant is lemon.

“I know you see a lot of recipes on Google that call for lemon, but honestly, it's just way too harsh on your skin and too acidic,” she said.

“There are better alternatives to lemon such as yogurt and turmeric to brighten your skin at home,” Zaila added.

The second ingredient that DIY skincare enthusiasts should avoid is olive oil.

Zaila said it was “extremely comedogenic,” meaning it can cause acne.

“It's way too heavy and you will most likely break out if you use this directly on your skin,” she said.

Companies can get away with using olive oil in their products because it is “refined in a laboratory,” she said.

“And they are specifically formulated for use in skin care,” Zaila continued. “They're not just like cooking olive oil.”

The third thing people should stay away from is essential oils.

“Rose essential oil just isn't worth it,” Zaila said.

“Essential oils are really just fragrances and you are only damaging your skin by using them,” the beauty guru claimed.

“They have virtually no real benefits,” she added.

However, rose water and mists are great for your skin.

“Just don't use the real essential oils from those flowers,” she finished.

A HEALTH nut proved that you don't have to give up all sweets to stay in shape.

She shared the recipe for her two-ingredient brownies, which are kid-friendly and carb-free, so you don't have to interrupt your diet to enjoy them.

Fitness fanatic and healthy eater Mayra Wendolyne (@lowcarblove) lost 100 pounds, as she revealed in a clampusing the recipes she came up with at home.

And one of her favorites will be those with a sweet tooth in good shape.

“I just made zero carb brownies with two ingredients,” she began in another videotaking a bite out of the finished product.

Start by cracking 4 eggs into a mixing bowl.

Mayra beat them with her electric hand mixer so that they were smooth and fluffy.

Melt a bag of sugar-free chocolate chips in the microwave and when they are completely ready, add them to the battered eggs.

Fold them in to get a smooth consistency and pour into your baking dish.

With your oven at 350 degrees, bake for about 20 minutes.

Once they were fully cooked, Mayra removed them from the oven, revealing the gooey, brownie-like texture in the center.

She and her daughter enjoyed dessert, with Mayra saying, “Mmm oh my God,” and her daughter giving her the ultimate stamp of approval: a high five.

Many viewers tried it and approved the recipe.

“I did it! It tastes like brownies,” one person wrote.

'Believe me…it doesn't smell or taste like eggs. It's delicious. Sugar free and low carb,” another added.

“If you're doing Keto this is better than nothing,” said a third.

Others, however, were not sold.

“So, a chocolate omelet?” someone asked.

“Why? I don't want chocolate eggs,” another chimed in.

Kiana (@kianatom) shared the recipe in a video with more than 30,000 TikTok followers.

“Let's make an anti-aging, energizing, nutritious, delicious chocolate raspberry protein shake for Valentine's Day,” she said.

In a blender, Kiana added unsweetened almond milk, a banana, Greek yogurt and two cups of blueberries.

For anti-aging and muscle health, she added two different types of protein, including scoops of collagen protein, and plant-based protein.

Then she added ice and chia seeds for a boost of quercetinan antioxidant that helps reduce the risk of several health problems, including heart disease.

She also ditched her choice of amino acid and hyaluronic acid tablets, along with a big handful of kale.

Bald, one great source of calciumhelps provide strong support for bones and teeth.

In another blender, Kiana prepared the same ingredients for a second shake for her daughter.

Along with the protein powder, veggies and ice cream, she added raspberries, and of course chocolate.

A long blend processed the ingredients into a cohesive, anti-aging shake.

“This is a special Valentine's Day shake. It contains unsweetened almond milk, kale, spinach, collagen protein and hyaluronic acid for your skin and hair,” she said.

“Calcium, amino acids, two cups of fresh blueberries, and yours even has dark chocolate and raspberries,” she said, turning to her daughter.
