Healing Remedies For Your Beautiful Body

To Squeeze or Not to Squeeze
If you decide to squeeze a pimple, be every gentle, pressing until it bleeds may rupture tissue and cause scarring. Make sure that skin is clean and warm. Wrap your fingers in tissues, ad apply light pressure. Dap over it with tea tree oil.

Fade Cream
Make your own concoction to lighten age spots and sun-damaged upper chest. Mix the juice of 1 lemon, 1 lime, 2 tablespoons of honey, and 2 ounces of plain yogurt. Gently massage into each spot. Use it at least once a week.

Face Lift
There are ways to lift your face, both on a cumulative and temporary basis. For years models, actors, and actresses have been relying on the shark’s liver oil and yeast contained in hemorrhoidal creams. These are the same ingredients that can be found in expensive “firming” creams sold at expensive cosmetic counters. Just what these creams do for those other areas (takes down the swelling and shrinks tissues) is what they do for under eye bags, droopy jowls, etc. Makeup artists won’t do a makeover without it. Rock stars, Hollywood’s big names, and others celebrities won’t go on the road without a supply on it. Many of the people you believe have had plastic surgery have been using it for years.

If you object to the medicinal smell, simply mix it with a small amount of your regular moisturizer. If you do need to use it and head out the door right away, just dab a little perfume in front of each ear to diffuse any signs. Many people may notice or aware that certain aroma wafting from certain nice looking people where their look are not matching with their age. It actually came from this product. If you find that this product works for you, I suggest that you use it at night in the privacy of your own bedroom.

If you are heading out to a special event, and want to tighten your face a bit, use this quick fix:

Beat 1 egg white to froth. Apply over all over face, paying special attention to the eye area, chin and jaw. Allow it to dry (it should take no longer than ten minutes), and ever so lightly rinse it off. Don’t waste your money on temporary lifting creams. The egg white lift is just as effective as any “face lifts in a bottle” I have ever tried.

Eyes
Thin cucumber slices used as compresses over closed eyes will relieve sore, puffy eyes.

Raw potato slices contain potassium to take away dark circles under the eye.

Inexpensive tea bags (make sure that they’re cool to the touch) on the eye make good eye refreshers because of the tannic acid. Don’t use herbal tea bags, because most don’t contain tannic acid. Try such brands as Red Rose or Lipton, or generic brands.

Neck
The neck is often one of the most neglected areas, yet it’s the first place where the signs of aging appear. A certain amount of wrinkling and sagging is inevitable, but there is a lot you can do to not only improve the appearance of your neck now, but minimize future problems.

Always take your cleanser and creams over the entire throat area, rinsing thoroughly. Make certain to apply all creams with firm upward strokes.

Knees and Elbows
The skin on knees, elbows, and heels can easily look discolored and dead. Here’s a bleaching mask that really works wonders. Don’t you even thinks of wearing a short skirt without first applying this mixture.

Add the juice of 3 lemons to 1 cup of powdered milk. Use just enough water to make a thick paste. Leave the mixture on for 20 minutes. Scrub off briskly with a loofah or sponge.

The Secret of Quick Skin Pick Up

Do you need a quick glow to your skin and an allover healthier look? Bend over at the waist, as far as you can possibly go, and hold to the count of thirty. Scientists have proven that this very simple stance boosts circulation to both face and scalp, speeding up the turnover of skin cells and reducing the possibility of breakouts. Benefits vary depending on the time of day you choose.

Morning : It helps you to focus on a busy day and awakens the mind and body.

Noon : This is the time for a midday boost.

Night : It helps you unwind, and gets your heart rate and your breathing back to where they should be.

Try to get your head in the proximity of your knees. It’s okay to bend your knees until you get used to the position. Steady the stance by clasping your hands behind your back. Still can’t seem to do it? Just lay over the side of your bed (head down).

Tips - How To Take Care Your Skin

It all begins from within.
Water…water…everywhere!
On your face and in your body.

Water Water is the number one beauty favored by women of every age. You cannot create beauty without beginning with a clean, clear palette. Forget the very expensive imported waters. If you don’t drink at least eight to ten glasses of water a day, you are depriving yourself of the best beauty treatment on Earth. Japanese women spend twice as much time and money on their skin than any other women in the world. That is why they have the most smooth and prettiest skin than other women in the world.

Cleansing The first rules of beautiful skin is to stop over-cleansing it. This is unnecessary habit, especially true of women in this country. Unless you’ve been up all night digging ditches (you poor dear!), your face is not dirty. Your morning routine should be nothing more than reactivating last night’s moisturizer with a splash of warm water or milk. Why milk? Milk is a lactic acid and will allow your face to receive a natural acid treatment.

Please be aware that many of the acids on the market today are synthetic acids that have caused problems with some women. There have been reports of everything from sensitivity rashes to permanent scarring. Be careful of the chemical acids you use, and when you can, substitute nature’s acids in your cleansing routine. In addition to milk, consider these natural acids:

1.       Pineapple juice

2.       Lemon juice

3.       Tomatoes

4.       Most citrus fruits

Toning Toning is you second step, and an important one. The purpose of using a toner is to remove residue soap, moisturizer, and oil. You can spend a lot for a toner (up to $20 and more at some cosmetic counters), or you can do what many famous models do. Carry around lemons. They are refreshing and more effective than those silly toners that contain only a little lemon but lots of chemicals.

Other inexpensive alternatives:

1.       Rose water

2.       Witch hazel

3.       Liquid boric acid

4.      Or try the following refreshing tea tonic: Mix 2 teaspoons of green or chamomile tea with ½ cup water.

         Saturate a cotton ball, and apply all over the face. Allow it to remain on the skin until it evaporates.

Note: There’s never any reason to rinse this or any toner off.

Moisturizing I am happy to pass one of the most ways ever to save money. It is not necessary to spend a lot on a moisturizer. Good basic moisturizers can be found in any drugstore. Just learn to read the labels, and look for these low cost ingredients.


Lipids: Listed as ceramides, cerebrosides, or sphingo lipids.   

Essential fatty acids: Listed as sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, and primrose oil.  

Sunscreen: Now available in many moisturizers as a step-saver.



    

The Beauty Secret - Two

Learn to trust your mirror Most of us believe only what others tell us, not what we see in the mirror. That’s why we desperately seek compliments and depend on other people’s feedback. Real “beauties: rely on their mirror and accept everything they see. When they behold great fair, they enjoy their “good hair day” you won’t find these women concentrating on the two pounds they gained from the last night‘s dessert.

Don’t be so modest While we are encouraging to go out and look our best, we are not supposed t admit that we’re trying. Going that extra yard for beauty is perceived as prideful vanity. In addition, some women worry that they may attract the wrong attention. Wallflowers belong only on walls!

Don’t act or dress your age Every beautiful woman seemed to possess the same trait: agelessness. If you hadn’t been privy to their backgrounds, you would have hard pressed to put a number on them. You know who these women are: you see them in a magazine or TV. You know them to be about your age, but they look so much better. Don’t necessary jump to the conclusion that they’ve had extensive plastic surgery. That is not always the case. How do you begin your own “timeless: appearance? Pick up a magazine that might be geared to a different age demographic. Shop a different store or department than your usual route. Find a mentor; someone whose style you’ve always admired to help you develop your new look.

Almost everything we do is based on appearance.

The pursuit of beauty is as old as time.

Cute babies are held longer.

We love flowers for their “beauty”.

Starts a journal The first step to finding your way back to YOU is to start a daily journal. Keep your daily activities and thoughts as a reliable thermometer to your current state of thinking. Use it to keep track of what you’re eating, wearing and feeling.

Set goals Don’t get overwhelmed in the steps to your transformation. Set standards and goals in baby steps. This is especially important if you’ve somehow lost yourself along the way. It could be as small as “I will lose fiver pounds by the end of the month.” Or “ I will devote one hour a day just for me.” Sit back, close your eyes, and visualize yourself as slimmer happier or more assertive.

Beauty begins with self acceptance.

Look in the mirror, smile and say “Hi!”

Find your energy level Every person possesses an inner clock. Don’t rely on the time of day to tell you when to eat, when to rest, etc. Let your body do the talking! It never fails to give you signs that will tell you what it needs.

Know when to let go!

You are not in charge of the universe.

No Brainer Have one or two outfits that you know make you looks terrific and required no thought. Keep no more than five cosmetics that can take you out the door and don’t have to be color coordinated. Keep one overcoat that will look stylish, take you out the door with dignity, and hide anything!

Keep Moving! Don’t stay frozen in time. It is such an easy and comfortable place to get stuck. Keep a look that is absolutely your style, but keep reinventing that look to keep up with the times. You know who the guilty ones are. You’ve seen that woman who wears that seventies Farrah Fawcett hairdo, when not even Farrah herself had kept that same look. Or better yet, that friend who was MOD in the sixties and refuses to believe that the revolution is over!

I Double Dare You Remember that game we used to play as children? Whether it’s just getting a manicure or changing your hair color, just a little something new or different can create a brand new mind set. Oh yes, of course, you can always change it back if you don’t like it. But you may love the new you and wonder why you hadn’t tried it sooner!

Learn To Forgive Get back to self-acceptance. Did you break your diet? That just means that you are human. Why is it that it’s so much easier to forgive others and not ourselves? Let it go! When you overspend a bit, maybe that’s just what you needed at that time to build your spirits. If you find it difficult to forgive others, remember that even the most well-intentioned person can hurt your feelings. Don’t dwell on it. Don’t let it stay with you, or it will convert itself into a binge, spending spree, or something far more depressing. Throw it away, and get on with your life TODAY!

Self Portrait Drawings are our subconscious speaking to us. Take a pencil or crayon, and draw a picture of yourself.
Ask yourself what your drawing says about you.
 1. Did you take up the whole page?
 2. Are you in the corner?
 3. Are any of your body parts missing?
 4. Are you wearing clothes?
 5. What kind of clothes are you wearing?
 6. Are you wearing shoes?
 7. Are any of your body parts out of proportion?
 8. What would you name your drawing?

This test will reveal to us what we need to know in order to change our image and esteem issues. The most evidential self-portrait results were the ones done by teenagers and homemakers reentering the workplace. They were most likely to draw themselves without body parts, grotesque bodies, or as being practically invisible, taking up only a small corner of the page.

Meditation Is A Beauty Ritual The well known models and celebrities, each of these great stars possessed the unique ability to go into some kind of trance when sitting behind the mirror. This is a concept that I have found to be a perfectly relaxing and enjoyable way to start a day.
