Best Remedies For your skin & Hair


 Some of the best remedies are in your own refrigerator in the form of fruit. Read on for some great fruity beauty tips!
 
1. Banana Face Mask
Bananas have a lot of potassium, which is great for skin discolorations and smoothing out your skin! Simply mash up a banana and rub it onto your clean face. Allow to sit for 5-10 min, then wash off and see how your skin glows! Follow with moisturizer if desired.



2. Strawberry Tooth Whitener
Strawberries are full of salicic acid, which helps to whiten your teeth and fights acne. So here's a 2-in-1 for you: Mash up strawberries then spread them on your clean face and rub them all over your teeth. Allow to sit on face for 5 minutes then wash off. As for your teeth, its hard not to want to swallow them, so the best way to do it is put a lot of the strawberry pulp on your toothbrush, then vigorously brush your teeth for 2 or three minutes. Do this daily for a few weeks and you WILL see results!

 3. Avocado Hair Mask
Avocados are great for softening and conditioning your hair. Before you shower, mash up and avocado and apply it all over your hair. Wrap your hair in plastic wrap followed by a towel for 15 minutes. When you shower, wash your hair like you normally would, then be amazed by how shiny and soft it is!

4. Lemon Nail Strengthener
Do you have weak, brittle, yellowed nails? Here's your fast fix! Take a slice of lemon and rub it over your nails and cuticles once or twice weekly to strengthen your nails and bleach them back to white. Plus it has such a relaxing, fresh aroma you will feel energized instantly!


5. Peach Body Scrub
Peaches are great for gently exfoliating your skin. Take a peach, pit it and then mash it to as fine of a pulp as you can. Add a few tablespoons of sea salt, and enough olive or baby oil to make a paste. Scrub down all your dry scaly areas, then rinse off. Besides making your skin ultra soft, it smells divine as well!


6. Orange Body Spray
Make your own body spray! Squeeze and orange and strain the juice so it won't get caught in the spray bottle you use. Add¼ cup water, a teaspoon of vanilla and a little bit of rubbing alcohol (for staying power). Be sure and shake it well each time you use it. You'll be the lovely-scented attraction of the day!

 7. Citrus Hair Shine Spray
Want shiny, luscious-smelling tresses? Here's how to get them! Squeeze the juice from and orange, a lemon and a lime, then add a little bit of water and shake the mixture up. I sometimes add a drop of coconut flavor because it makes the scent smell so irresistible! Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and mist it over your hair for icy shine and such a sweet, fresh smell!

Againts Wrinkles(Part I )



Wrinkles are the creases, which appear on the facial skin due to age when skin starts loosing its elasticity and tightness. Sooner or later everybody gets wrinkles in life. One cannot stop getting wrinkles but one can definitely delay their arrival and reduce their appearance on the skin.
People who do not want to see wrinkles on the face get the laser treatments done. They get the surgery done or at times they do the botox treatment one where filling is done on the skin. Such treatments have a lasting period of as much as ten years. Still the visible appearance is lesser than natural wrinkles. If one doesn't want to go under the knife, one can try some natural ways to reduce the appearance of the wrinkles.
  • First thing which should be done to keep the skin young is drinking lots of water. One should drink as much as minimum 2 liters of water in a day.
  • Live a healthy lifestyle where you eat healthy balanced diet, do regular exercise and take proper sleep.
  • Eat lots of fruits and vegetables in your diet. Consume dairy products and take vitamin supplements if your body lacks them.
  • Reduce the stress level by doing meditation and yoga. It helps to keep stress in control and detoxify the skin with the breathing techniques.
  • Cut off your daily intake of tea and coffee as they do no good to the skin and makes it older than time.
  • Quit smoking and drinking if you are addicted to as smokers are tend to get a skin which is 10 years older than their actual age.

Additional care to be given to the skin to reduce wrinkles:

  • Massage your skin with vitamin E based cream with the help of your fingertips to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Keep the body hydrate as dry skin gets early signs of age. Always apply a good moisturizer based on your skin type.
  • When the age crosses 30, starts applying anti wrinkle cream especially at night because that is the best time to rejuvenate the skin.
  • Get the facial done at least once a month.
  • Almonds are a rich source of vitamin D if 2 soaked almond have been eaten in a day, makes lots of difference to your skin.
  • Apply facemasks, which are good to tone up the skin.
  • Some facial exercises if done regularly for 5-10 minutes helps skin to stay young.
