8 Secret Face Mask Recipes for Your Skin's Beauty

There are many face mask in the market, but here are some very natural face mask recipes that you can actually make it your own, and the effect are so great!

Mayonnaise Apply whole egg mayonnaise on your face (right from the jar) for about 20 minutes then rinse with cool water.

Peach & Brandy Mash up a peach (use ripe, canned, or frozen), and mix in a tablespoon of brandy. Leave it on for 20 minutes, and rinse off.

Tomato Mask For oily skin, mash up a ripe tomato and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water (not hot).

Banana Mash Mash up a very ripe banana. Add just enough honey to make a soft pulp. Apply over face and hair. This is such a great firming mask that aging movie stars have been known to put it in cups of their bras to make their breast perky.

Just make sure that you don’t add too much of honey, and that you use a sturdy bra.

Honey Mask Apply pure honey (straight from the bottle) to your face and neck. Allow it to set until dry (about 15 minutes). Rinse with very warm water.

Milk Of Magnesia Apply it straight from the bottle. Let it dry for about 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Gently pat face dry with fluffy towel.

Pepto Bismol This is a face mask particularly suited for those with sensitive skin. In the same way that this product coats the stomach, it gently caresses the face. Apply it straight from the bottle with a cotton swab. Allow it to dry and rinse with cool water. It’s as refreshing as a cool summer breeze.

Ultimate Cleansing Mask In a blender or food processor grind 1 cup of oatmeal to a powder. Add 3 drops of almond oil. ½ cup of milk and 1 egg white. Continue to blend together, and rinse after 20 minutes.

 

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.

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.
