Grandma's natural beauty secrets!!!

Eyes:

  • cucumber on the eyes, it's fantastic for puffy eyes.
  • camomile tea bags on the eyes, it's good for dark circled eyes.

Lips:

  • Cinnamon is great for your lips. Mix a bit in with your favourite lip gloss to turn it into a lip-plumper.

Face:

  • Beat egg whites well. Mix with milk powder and cucumber juice. It leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
  • Mix a handful of oatmeal with enough spring water to make a paste, and put this mixture on your face and neck. When it dries, rinse the paste off with whey, then -with water, and dry your skin with a soft rag.
  • Honey makes a great, natural skin care product. Use it as a mask on your face for moisture and smoothness. Just smear on your face, lay down and let it sit (and drip!) for 15 minutes. Wash off and enjoy your new radiant, soft complexion. Honey contains many B vitamins and is known for it's hydrating abilities, so take this sweet treat seriously.
  • Mashed papaya is a great cleanser for your skin. Just apply it like a mask, leave it on for twenty minutes and then rinse it off for a fresh, clean face.
  • Beat a raw egg and the juice of one lemon. Apply this mixture as a mask over the face and neck. Simply relax for half an hour. Do not talk! Wash off when you feel the tightening of the muscles. This pack will soften lines and smooth out wrinkles as the natural cholesterol replenishes the oil-forming cells of the skin.
  • When avocados are available take the pulp and apply it to the dry areas of the skin, especially on the rough parts. The unsaturated fatty acids of this fruit will stimulate the sluggish skin to produce the natural oils or sebum and make the skin look healthy and young.


Hair:
  • Rinse you hair and body with cold water, it firms up the skin, it is good for circulation and it will close the hair cuticles and make your hair sleek, shiny and smooth.
  • Give your hair a drink! Condition your hair with beer for naturally silky, shiny hair.
Enjoy,
xoxo
