Beauty Home Remedies

We all love home remedies, am I right?

These are a few that I found to get you through these winter months.

Most of the ingredients for these remedies can be found in your own kitchen.

I'm definitely going to try the Coffee Bean and Cucumber remedy!

 To hydrate dry skin use: Honey

Squeeze a dime-size dollop of honey into palms, blend it with your regular face wash, and use the mixture to give your face a deep facial. For a body wash, use a walnut-size dollop of honey.

Soothe puffy eyes: Chamomile Tea

Steep two chamomile tea bags in warm water, then place in refrigerator to cool. Squeeze excess fluid from tea bags and place over tired eyes for 5 minutes.

Quench parched locks:  Avocado
To make a nutrient-packed hair mask, mash an overripe avocado and mix in an egg yolk and 2 Tbsp. of olive oil. Massage into damp hair, wrap under towel and leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse, shampoo and condition your hair as usual.

Smooth and exfoliate:  Coffee Beans

Dip a wet washcloth into leftover coffee grounds and massage into damp skin from neck down to slough off dead skin. Concentrate on cellulite prone areas like thighs to tighten skin.

Revive tired skin: Cucumber

Puree 1 small cucumber in blender, then add 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour. Stir until mixture is thick and pasty. Apply to clean, dry face and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

As simple as that!

What are some of your special remedies you like to use?

I would love to hear about them!

Hey Grandpa, let me get some of that Sulfur!

As you all might know, In the past few months, I started getting really bad acne.

....not good as all.

Anyways, I've been trying nearly everything, and nothing seemed to work.

"Where did this acne come from? Why can't I get rid of it.." -I always asked myself.

 And I would nearly would stress about it; I had amazing skin, I have no idea what happened to it!

Well my mum just recently ordered this soap, and told me to try it out. It's called Grandpas Thylox Acne Treatment Soap with Sulfur.I have been using it for a week, and I feel like my skin is already clearing up! Even those faint scars are finally disappearing! Yes, I might have to smell like sulfur for awhile, but if that's what gets rid of this horrible acne then I will wash my face with sulfur everyday!

 Lately, I have started getting the worse acne, I have no idea where it's coming from! It's all over my forehead, which I'm hoping it's just sweat bumps, but it looks very unhealthy, and might I add, gross.. I have been working out a lot, and I usually tend to wash my face right before I work out, and I swab toner on it after the work out, so that way my pores don't clog. So what is causing this disaster? Well, I'm going to try eating better, that means eating tons of fruits & veggies, drinking tons of water, eating yogurt or Organic apple sauce when I crave something sweet, and laying off on the sugar! -and taking my Fish Oil, and Vitamin E.

Let's see if that will change it, I sure hope it does! I never ever get acne, and if I do, it's one or two pimples, not all over my forehead, and hairline. If you have any advice on what you do to keep a clean, pimple-free face, please share! And for those of you that are like me, try these great Antioxidants from Self Magazine!
