Title: Beautiful skin Post by: ahkil on October 12, 2007, 11:26:28 PM Having beautiful skin or treating some skin problems isn't
reserved for those who can afford to buy the most expensive products, or go to the spa for expensive facials. Whether your finances are a little stretched, you just ran out of your favorite product, or you would rather use a natural alternative, these next tips may be helpful... A box of baking soda can be your skin's best friend. While in the shower, rub a handful of baking soda all over your skin to exfoliate and soften your skin. You can add a cup of baking soda to your bath and rub a handful of baking soda over your skin if you like to take tub baths... Baking soda is invaluable to those who suffer with blackheads. Rubbing baking soda on dampened skin will loosen the dirt and grime and remove blackheads... If oily skin is a problem, fresh tomatoes are great for the oily areas of your face. (Make sure to try the tomato juice on your arm first, if you think you may be sensitive to it). Rinse thoroughly immediately after using the tomato juice... For a great moisturizer try olive oil. This healthy fat is good for you and is great for your skin. You can also use it to soothe sunburned skin...

water and vinegar 50/50, and use in place of deodorant, it will keep the unpleasant sweat smell away, without any irritation. As for your feet, if you suffer with athlete's foot, a week of vinegar foot baths will help a lot, sometimes completely getting rid of your condition... Egg yolk mixed with honey makes for a really great mask. Apply it on your skin, leave it on for 20 minutes, and rinse off. Excellent for sensitive skin. Honey may give you a tingling/ticklish sensation, so if you are sensitive to that, use the egg yolk alone... Another use for egg yolk... For those with eczema, use it instead of soap. It doesn't smell great, but it will soothe and heal your skin... A great treatment for dry skin is avocados. Mash it, (a ripened one is much easier to mash), smooth it onto your face, and rinse off after 20 minutes. You can put this on dry hands and cover in saran wrap or wear rubber gloves for 10-15 minutes to give your hands a moisturizing treatment... |
