Posted on Sunday, October 4, 2009 in Back Pain Relief

cosmetic skincare+ making – When you think of beauty tips, do you think of the sweet stuff? I know that I love a good chocolate facial, just for starters. Then there are the many different sugar scrubs and spice wraps.

But all those things are really costly. The last spa visit I had cost me way over 150 dollars But, there are a ton of different ways to give yourself some of these sweet treatments. The main ingredient for these mouthwatering facials and masques? It’s honey.

Here is a list of a few things you an do at home with honey that will leave you feeling luscious and beautiful:

* Honey Beauty Tip #1: Make use of bubbles - By adding a cup of honey to your bubble bath, you can make your skin so very smooth. A loofah will help you skin look extra creamy and glowing. Add 4 tablespoons of whole milk powder and feel just like Cleopatra, who used milk baths to keep her skin clear. When you use edible products in your bath, you must make sure to rinse down very well afterwards.

* Beauty Tips With Honey #2: Use a few different layers. - A really great egg white masque can be made by whipping egg whites, a tablespoon of honey and a tad bit of flour or unsweetened cocoa together until they make a thick paste. Open up your pores first by putting a hot cloth on your face for 3 minutes. Smooth the mask over your face. Let it dry for ten minutes. Your skin will be fresh and youthful after your remove the mask with warm water.

* Honey Do Beauty Tip #3: Make your own silky-skin toner. - Put a half a cup of honey, 2 cups of buttermilk and a half a cup of rosewater in an airtight container and mix together. Tupperware with screw-on lids work best. Then shake the mixture until blended well. Its going to be a cloudy color and really runny. You can apply it with a cotton ball for tight, toned skin.

You should use the best honey for these treatments. For much less than 20 dollars, you can buy a good sized jar of organic honey that hasn’t been chemically treated. You can then use this for your honey do beauty tips for a good while.

3 Bargain Beauty Tips from Your Medicine Chest

Posted on Thursday, October 1, 2009 in Back Pain Relief

cosmetic skincare+ making – The bathroom medicine cabinet is a pretty unlikely place to start when you are looking for beauty tips and tricks. But, what you find will probably amaze you. You really can find spa-quality treatments in your bathroom medicine chest.

The first thing to consider is your complexion. Does it seem like a huge pimple always pops up when you have a big night out? If so, then your skin is reacting to stress. Just visit a spa if you need an emergency facial. But, they normally cost you well over 100 dollars. They also use up a great deal of time. Instead, apply a little dab of hydrocortisone cream (used for rashes and poison ivy) to the blemish. By nightfall it will disappear substantially if you dab some cream on in the morning.

You don’t normally get any pimples? Don’t worry because there are beauty tips from your medicine cabinet for you too. You can try some vitamin E oil capsules cut open. Vitamin E can help those with cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer’s and sickle cell anemia. Vitamin E capsules, when cut open, can be an instant scar and wrinkle treatment. Vitamin E really is a great topical healer and its contained in nearly all proven anti-aging creams.

Have you been looking for a gentler toner? Try using some distilled witch hazel. Your skin can become very irritated even when using an expensive, over-the-counter toner. Witch hazel diluted with water on a cotton ball accomplishes the same thing in a gentler manner. Witch hazel can be used for laryngitis and hemorrhoids. But it can also be used as a beauty treatment.

Before going crazy with these new beauty treatments, you should first test them out. When putting a new substance on your face, you must always be careful. Put a small dab on the inside of your wrist or elbow. You must leave it there for around 24 hours. You are good if there isn’t an redness or swelling present.

Always be on the lookout for beauty bargains and tips in surprising places. Just look to your kitchen or bathroom for amazing bargains in the beauty department. You can give yourself a great spa experience any day you want in your own home with these beauty tips.
