#14 Beauty Tips to Share!

This post should have been up a long time ago!
But I couldn't use my computer for so MANY days!
Now finally able to use com while my mum is out.
So I should faster share the Beauty Tips I tumbled upon online.
Not sure whether it is useful for you guys ornot. :/

1. Moisturizing with Avocadoes
Get an appealing moisturizer with an avocado skin.
Make some guacamole, save the peel and moisturize your skin.
The inside of the peel can be used as a fantastic hydrator and oil-rich moisturizer.
Apply the inside of the peel to your face using gentle upward strokes.
Leave in on all night or rinse after 15minutes.

2. Want Toned Skin?
Use this honey apple toner to firm up. :B
Combine honey and apples to make an alpha hydroxy wonder that will help firm, smooth and moisturize your skin.
In a blender or food processor, combine 1 peeled, cored apple with 1 tablespoon of honey and blend until smooth.
Apply the pulp to your face and allow it to work its magic for 15minutes and then rinse.
Easy, isn't it? :D

3. Goodbye Puffy Eyes!
A few remedies for puffy or red eyes.
Here are a few remedies for puffy or red eyes.
Apply cold sliced cucumbers, cold sliced potatoes, chilled cheap tea bags, or ice cubes to your eyes for 10 minutes and then rinse.
You might not want to try all of them at once though.
It may get tricky.
Note: Cheap tea bags have more tannic acid, and hence, are more suitable. :D

4. Paraffin at home.
Therapeutic hand spa at home.
Put 4 six-ounce candles, or pieces of paraffin in a microwave-safe dish, and microwave them just until they melt.
Apply vegetable oil or a thick lotion to your hands, then dip them into the warm wax.
Make sure they're covered completely.
Take your hands out of the wax, cover them securely with plastic bags, and then put them in gloves or wrap them in warm towels.
Let the wax set for about 15minutes.
Now, unwrap your hands, peel of the wax and apply some lotion.
Here, your smooth hands~

5. Homemade Body Butter~
Butter yourself up with this homemade body butter!
Adding one at a time, blend 1 ripe banana, 1 stick softened butter, 1/4 cup whipping cream and the flesh of one ripe mango until smooth.
Apply the mixture all over your skin and massage itin.
This can be a little messy but your body will thank you for it.
Let it soak in for about 10minutes and then rinse of in the shower.
And admire the results. :D

6. Give your hair a break!
You don't have to shampoo everyday!
You don't have to wash your hair everyday!
It can be a good idea to skip a day once in awhile.
Shampoos can wash away natural oils that keep your hair healthy.
Try giving your hair a rest once in awhile.
See if you notice the difference. :D

7. Nature's Scalp Help!
Stimulate your scalp and reduce flaking.
Mint and rosemary helps stimulate the scalp.
Sage can be used to reduce itchy flaking.
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil and then add 2 cups of your herb of choice.
Remove from the heat and let cool and then strain.
Pour the water on your hair after shampooing and conditioning but don't rinse.

8. Shiny Hair~
Add some shine to your hair! Enjoy the fresh scent of coconut~
Coconut oil contains loads of antioxidants and can smooth out dry and damaged cuticles and bring out a healthy shine.
Measure out and warm 3 tablespoons of coconut oil.
Gently comb the oil into your hair.
Wrap your hair in a hot towel for 30minutes and then shampoo and rinse your hair.

9. A Fresher Breath
Tips for a fresher breath.
After each meal, measure 1 to 2 teaspoons of salt into a glass of water and swish it around in your mouth for 20seconds and spit it out.
Do this 3 times.
Or try chewing on fennel, mint or parsley after eating.

10. Water your skin
Hydration is therapy for the skin.
Your skin is the largest organ of your body so you need to take care of it.
Since your body is made up of mostly water, you need to make sure to stay hydrated.
In addition, make sure your whole body is well cleansed, especially after exercise.

11. Honeyed Hair!
Condition your hair with honey!
Combine the benefits of honey and olive oil for great silky, shiny hair and a healthy scalp.
Mix 1/2 cup honey and 2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup of olive oil.
Generously apply to your hair and scalp and then put on a shower caps and allow the conditioner to work for 30minutes.
Then shampoo and rinse your hair as usual.

12. Strawberries for facial acne?
Treat acne with the sweet scent of strawberries.
You don't have to be a teen to get the occasional acne blemish.
No matter your age, try this sweet formula.
Combine 1/2 cup sliced strawberries and 1 tablespoon of sour cream.
Mash well to combine.
Apply the mixture to your face and allow it to stay for 10minutes.
Rinse thoroughly.

13. Hydroxy Acids
Alpha-hydroxy acids helpers.
Hydroxy acids or alpha-hydroxy acids are derived from food products containing malicacid(apple), lactic acids(sour cream), citric acid(fruits), tartaric acid(grapes), or glycolic acid(sugarcane). Hydroxy acids can help improve the overall look and feel of your skin.
Just dab some of the liquid on your face with your finger tips and let it set for 10minutes and then rinse.
But be careful as they can cause your skin to get sunburned more easily.
So make sure you apply sunscreen as well.
