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.

Moisturizer Know How

Do you know what is the largest organ of our body? Many may get it right but many get it wrong too. The answer is the skin! It is not just a bag that covers our whole body but it is a protective barrier that defends against dirt and debris. By locking in moisture it also maintains the hydration levels of the body.

Why Moisturizer is Important

Our body has a particular moisture level that needs to be maintained, without which it becomes prone to dryness and irritation. Skin helps seal in moisture and protect against external irritants like dirt and pollution. It keeps a regulates temperature cools down the body when it becomes too hot by oozing out sweat.

Moisturizers protect the skin against dehydration and provide the epidermis layer with anti aging ingredients thereby improving the skin texture. This further enhances the skin tone and makes it soft and supple. Dehydrated skin is prone to damage by ultraviolet radiation and free radicals. Therefore, it becomes absolutely essential to apply moisturizer on a daily basis to correct these flaws.

Moisturizers are vital for people with dry skin because they are all the more susceptible to dryness which further causes flaky and tight skin. It’s best to use moisturizers that contain emollients and humectants. Emollients like petroleum and lactic acid strengthen the skin’s barrier function and humectants attract moisture from the air and retain it. Popular humectants include glycerin and hyaluronic.
 
Do you know what you can or you cannot do with moisturizer? Here is what you should know about when you are applying moisturizer to your skin:
  • Don’t over moisturize. Use cream on specific areas. You may not need it all over your face. The cheeks and forehead tend to be drier than the chin.
  • Choose the right formula for your skin type. More than half of all women misdiagnose their skin type, believing it to be very oily or very dry. It’s highly unusual for a woman’s skin to be either. If moisturizer is too heavy, the result is clogged pores. Moisturizing techniques need to be changed as the seasons change.  
  • Get more from your moisturizer by circulating the skin. Gently tap the face by pretending your face is a piano, and you’re “playing” it. 
  • Any moisturizer can be stretched by first applying a film of natural vegetable oil as a base.  
  • Wait until a moisturizer is completely absorbed before applying foundation. However, if a foundation is a bit dry, moisturizer can loosen it up a bit. The foundation will go on more smoothly.

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.
