Hey Guys!
As most of you may know, Im a total nerd when it comes to trying new DIY’s at home! I am obsessed with finding new ways to take care of my skin and my hair using things that you can find in your very own kitchen.. its cheaper, safer and more effective than going out and spending hundreds of dollars to put chemicals on your face, and they may not even work!
With my DIY’s.. I like to try them out to see if they work for me, and then I show you guys. You dont necessarily have to do ALL my DIY’s.. you can pick and choose for what works for you. Like I said, I get bored easily and I like to try new things and figure out new ways to give my skin a smoothie treat.
Let me tell you how I came across the idea for this recipe.. coming from an Indian family, ginger is a MUST have in ALL your food. Every other day, I hear from my mom about how ginger is so great for you.. SO.. I was peeling a whole pile of ginger one time (cuz u know brown moms like to buy in stock) and I noticed my hands started feeling tingly and warm.. after I washed it off my hands felt great so I was like HM this HAS To be good for my skin. Now.. for the grapefruit..Grapefruit has always been a staple in my diet because of its amazing weight loss abilities and high vitamin c content, I loveeeee it! Now we all know that vitamin C is great for our skin, so I added it to my recipe and voila.. I loved it!
Like I said in the video, this is something that I have been doing lately at home to give myself a peel. Its great to do peels on your skin to get rid of the dead skin and to rejuvenate your skin to reveal glowing gorgeous skin. LOL Ive been getting quite a LOT of comments lately asking if im pregnant because im “glowing” more so maybe this treatment is working super wonders hahah.. not pregnant btw guys.. not pregnant at all. I would share news like that with you guys if i was and i wudnt keep it a secret!!!
Anyways, I hope you guys try out this simple peel to exfoliate your face. I dont recommend doing this everyday and I really recommend doing a test patch first if your skin is sensitive. This is really acidic so it can tingle and cause sensitivity. Try to avoid sunlight on days that you do this as well. Thats why its best to do it at night. Do this treatment twice a week, or even once a week to get a great exfoliation.
Love you guys! Let me know if youd like to see some more DIYS.. I have a whole book full of stuff that I love trying out that REALLY works!

Hey dearie,
I am on my way to Central market, am gonna get the ingredients and try it out today!!! I was thinking of asking you a recipe for exfoliating skin and then when I checked your blog you have already uploaded one! You are my life saver Farah! Love you loads! Couldn’t imagine my life without you and your videos! Please keep making more DIY videos! Stay blessed!!
amazing lesson i ll try it if i get gryfruit
specialy which brush is beter for aplying foundation.
i bouht a brush kit from pakistan but dont know which brush is use for what
hey farah. c; this has nothing to do with the face peel, but what haircut do you think will give my hair more volume up top because my hair’s rrreeeeaaalllllyyyy flat and make it look thicker. i have about mid-lenghth hair like an inch or so below my shoulder and i have kinda wavy medium textured hair [i'm indian xD] so what type of haircut would give me volume and make my hair look thick.
Farah you are amazing!!! Thank you for everything! I have a question for you though, my hair is extremely frizzy where it tends to look dry. I shampoo the way you taught us, and I use the oil treatments as well. I am also a huge health freak with exercising, eating fruits and veggies, drinking lots of water, etc( aside from all the greasy foods brown families eat ). Can it be that my hair is just going to stay frizzy cause of genetics maybe? I want shine because I have none!! Are there any products you would recommend?
Also I facebook messaged you awhile ago to ask you about dark circle, idk if you remember. But let me tell you, if anyone asks, almond oil does wonders!!! In just one overnight use! I was so amazed.. Just wanted to let you know
Love you!!!
heyyy farah <3

Hey! do you know how to lose belly fat really quick
Hi Farah,
Love your videos as always…..people who are on meds for high blood pressure and cholesterol, are not allowed to eat grapefruit. I am sure you cannot put it on topically since it will be absorbed through the skin. Is there another fruit you can substitute for this peel?

Hi gorgeous Farah, I love your blog and you tube channel! I’ve watched all your skin care videos and tried them with wonderful results, so Thank you! I know your a newly wed and I will be walking down the isle in 9 months
I eat pretty healthy and drink lots of water and nothing else… I have acne prone skin and tend to break out around my period. Do you have any tips or suggesting on keeping my skin healthy and most importantly clear for my big day?
Thanks a million,
Ciao

Hi farah
Hi Farah,
I tried the grapefruit and ginger facial peel. As soon as I put them on my face I had a burning sensation. Is that how its supposed to be? I am not sensitive to lemon and so I just had this mask on my face although it had some burning sensation.
Hi farah..
Can we use lemon insted of grapefruit as its not readly availble at my place… Plz suggest…
Love
Smriti
Hi Farah,
I’m having laser treatment on my face and ginger is used to stimulate hair growth isn’t it?
Will this peel affect the progress of my treatment? I have used it twice now but I just wanted to know your thoughts.
Thanks
