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).

Cellulite Know How

Cellulite on the legs is a very common issue that 90% of women of all ages encounter at some time in their life. Cellulite is sometimes compared to orange peel or cottage cheese looking skin. It is a fatty deposit causing a dimpled or uneven appearance, as around the thighs and buttocks.We have tried many way to get rid of cellulite and some are not effective at all.

We now know that diet works and thigh creams don’t when it comes to cellulite. So what else can we do besides just starting at it? Here are some simple steps:

1. Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables (preferable raw).
 

2. Keep away from processed foods.
 

3. Drink lots of water to clean cells of toxins.
 

4. Stay away from carbonated beverages (even low-calorie).
 

5. Avoid alcohol, which negatively affects the liver, the body’s main detoxifier and filter.
 

6. Try to walk or jog at least three times a week for 30 to 45 minutes.
 

7. Scrub the skin with a bristle brush or loofah. Brush in slow sweeps, always toward the heart. There are gloves and mitts available to do this, but they’re not necessary. Try to do this at least five minutes a day.Models are using their morning coffee grounds to massage their cellulite areas. The main ingredient in expensive cellulite creams is caffeine, so it makes lots of sense. Simply sit on the edge of your bathtub, and rub the coffee grounds into those pesky areas. It could get messy, so make sure that you have a few newspaper laid out under you!
 

8. Copy the expensive herbal wraps offered by top spas. Mix a cup of corn oil with ½ cup of grapefruits juice and 2 teaspoons dried thyme. Massage into hip, thigh, and buttock areas. Cover with plastic wrap to lock in body heat. For extra results, lay a heating pad over each area for about 5 minutes.

Stages of Cellulite

 
Do you have it? How bad is it? Cellulite does have a way of progressing like a bad fungus.
 

Test

Cellulite can be diagnosed by using the skin pinch and roll technique. Gently take a large fold of normal skin and rub it between your thumb and forefinger. The skin will appear smooth.

Now repeat this test on areas where you think you have cellulite. You may have cellulite in the following stages:

Stage 1
The skin will show no visible signs, but bruises and cuts may be slow to heal in this area.
 

Stage 2

Looking closely at the skin, you’ll see broken veins and skin discoloration. Bruises will appear after a small hit. When pinched, the skin will feel thicker and slightly tender with slight ripples.
 

Stage 3
Even without pinching the skin, you’ll see evidence of an orange peel appearance.
 

Stage 4
The skin will appear puckered, and is cold to the touch. Broken veins will be present, and bruising can occur spontaneously.
 

Stage 5
Not only will you feel cold areas, but hot areas will also be evident.
 

Stage 6
Large lumps of fat are honeycombed in fibers, distorting the appearance of the cellulite area.

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 Secret of Beauty -One

Attitude: The inner beauty that does the matter

What is trait that the models, actresses and celebrities have that causes them stand out in a crowd? Yes, you are right, it is the attitude that they project to the world. These women that you see on the street, on the movie screen, adorning the pages of your favorite magazines are not the most beautiful women ever created. But don’t tell them that!

All women can be truly beautiful. The sad fact of life is that there are some potentially lovely women out there who are holding on to some very old myths. Some “displaced housewives” who decided to throw all their beauty, health, and diet routines away because the routines were too self-indulgent or complicated. So what do they do with their extra time? They spend it adorning their home or families. Hello? What about adorning the inner house? It is not necessary to give up yourself to love someone else; it is only when you truly love and respect yourself that you can give to others freely.

Keep it simple Begin a “housecleaning” on your body, closet, handbag, cosmetics, and anything else that keeps you from feeling good about yourself and your life.

Stand up straight This sounds so ridiculously simple, but it’s one of the most evidential traits of those women we so admire. Stand against a wall with head, shoulder blades, and heels touching, and buttocks pushed into the wall. Walk away without changing this position. A great posture is a wonderful beginning for your attitude adjustment.

While you’re at it, why don’t you pick up those droopy bra straps? This will help “pick up” both those drooping shoulders and those downward-spiraling breasts.

Make the time Create precious time for yourself by setting the alarm clock thirty minutes earlier than usual. Begin rituals for yourself that will become as important to you as breathing. If you really don’t think that you have enough time during the day, then take it from the minutes wasted on phone calls, shopping, or mindless TV surfing.

Be the star of your own show You should be what people notice. Your cosmetics and clothes should not compete for attention with each other, or with you. Stay with the basics, but invent your own style. If you like the color red, then use it as a consistent accent piece in your wardrobe. Do you have a special collection of pins or bracelets? Show them off; make them your signature. But definitely do not attempt to wear more than two pieces at one time.

Have it your way After years of telling us what to wear and how to wear it, designers have given in to the acceptance that women are not going to be dictated to any more. Finally, after huge rebellions (along with lagging retail sales) in department stores across the country, there is a choice in hem lines, fabrics, and so much more. The result? If you have great legs, feel free to show them off! If you have a lovely waist, accentuate it with a long and elegant ensemble. Play up your food features and hide away those “less than perfect” areas.

Make an effort You owe it to your self-esteem, your family, and friends to try! After all, you don’t like to look at a messy house or office all day, do you? Don’t you really love and admire the majestic artwork? A lovely flower arrangement? Become your own canvas, and recreate yourself.
