Wrinkle Remover



Green Thompson seedless grapes! It has one of the ingredients in those big time expensive wrinkle creams.
All you do is cut a grape in half and gently crush it on your face and neck. Make sure that you get the "crows-feet" and the lines around your mouth. Leave it on for twenty minutes or so and rinse with tepid water and pat dry.
Repeat every day and before you know it... those nasty old lines will be hard to find!Don't forget to drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. And... eat veggies rich in Vitamin A, such as carrots, celery and spinach.
If you can, get 8 hours of sleep every night.

Skin Sauna


A good deep cleansing treat is to give your face a sauna.This is especially good for congested skin.
You need to fill a bowl with near boiling water and add four drops of each of the essential oils recomended for your skin type.
NORMAL : Mandarin and Lavender.
OILY : Lemon and Eucalyptus.
DRY : Rose and Camomile.

Place a towel over your head and hold it over the bowl from a distance of about 30cm for a period of around two minutes. This opens the pores and prepares it for a face mask. You should not use a face sauna if you have sensitive skin, are pregnant or suffer from asthma

White Nails

To whiten your nails, try these:

* Use a common whitening toothpaste. Try scrubbing your nails with Pearl Drops, it's just as easy as achieving a pearly white smile and will take away any stains and shine up your nails.
* Soak your nails in water with lemon juice or lemon slices. The lemon acts as an astringent and will strip away stains. Once your hands are dry, you'll only need to put on a couple of coats of a clear topcoat

Beautiful Feet


Everyone wants to have smooth skin and Beautiful Feet
If you take 1 cup Lemon Juice, Cinnamon (for smell), 2 tablespoons
(or less) olive oil, 1/4 cup of milk, and water you can make a wash that leaves skin refreshed and fragrant (the amount of water does not matter).
If you do not like the cinnamon smell you can replace it with another spice, perfume, or flower petals such as roses.
After you make it, you can put it in a tub were you can soak your feet or body.

Next dry your feet or rinse them with water and a MILD soap.
After a few weeks of doing this your skin will be silky smooth.

A Natural Way To Exfoliate


Sea salt removes dry, flaky, dead skin.
Wet face (or anywhere on the body), apply a couple of tablespoons of sea salt, then GENTLY massage with a wet washcloth or fingers.
Focus on the T-zone and cheeks, but avoid the eye area.
After one or two minutes, rinse with cold water to tighten the pores. It is important to do this regularly, or face-creams will not penetrate.
You can do this maximum once per week.

REMOVING MAKE UP

Get all your hair out of your face with a headband or ponytail holder (we are morally opposed to the word "scrunchee").


  1. Put eye makeup remover on a cotton ball to takeoff eye makeup. This routine is very important as it avoids unnecessary tugging of the eye area.
  2. Start by removing your eye makeup with a cotton ball that's been moistened with eye makeup remover formula. Rub each eyelid gently until all the color is gone.
  3. Don't use regular makeup remover on your eyes because it might be too harsh. Similarly, don't use eye makeup remover on the rest of your skin because it might cause you to break out.
  4. Use cleansing milk with cotton wool to take off surface makeup.Face foaming wash can be then used to take off remnants of the cleansing milk and pollution.
  5. You can also simply splash your face with lukewarm water and lather on a facial cleanser that's meant to remove makeup. Concentrate on areas where you had makeup on, and add water if necessary.
  6. Spend at least a minute lathering the facial cleanser on your skin before rinsing it off with lukewarm water. Then pat your face dry and apply a moisturizer.After that, go to bed, get some rest, wake up, and start the whole damn thing all over again. And while you're going through the motions, don't forget to smile cutely and sing an upbeat rendition of "I Enjoy Being a Girl!"
