Polish your skin




Applying skin polish to your face and body helps remove dead cells so your skin will look bright and fresh. Removing dead skin also helps when applying anti-aging creams, allowing expensive products to penetrate deeper into the layers of skin. Skin and body polish treatments, whether purchased at a department store or done at a spa, can be very expensive. Purchase a few simple ingredients, get some others out of your kitchen cupboards and mix up a thrifty skin polish to get beautiful glowing skin in no time.


Citrus Sea Salt Polish

1. Combine 1/2 cup of sea salt, four tablespoons olive oil, three drops of lemon essential oil and five drops of orange essential oil in a small bowl.
2. Use a metal spoon or whisk to thoroughly mix the ingredients together.
3. Apply the scrub to your skin, rubbing it in small circles. The sea salts will exfoliate your skin, the olive oil will moisturize, and the citrus oils will leave you feeling fresh and rejuvenated.
4. Rinse with clear water, pat dry and moisturize your skin. Repeat as desired.
Brown Sugar and Jojoba Oil
5. Add one cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup jojoba oil, 1 tablespoon orange oil and four to five capsules of Vitamin E to a glass bowl.
6. Mix the ingredients and check consistency. If the polish is too thick, add more jojoba oil until it is thinner and spreadable.
7. Rub the scrub on your skin using a small, circular motion.
8. Rinse with water, pat your skin dry and apply moisturizer. Repeat when desired.
Baking Soda Polish
9. Mix one part baking soda to one part of your favorite cleanser or facial lotion.
10. Gently apply to your face, exfoliating in a circular motion.
11. Rinse with clear water, pat dry and moisturize. Repeat as desired.

Fed up with thin hair? now follow these remedies

Homemade hair-thickening remedies work either by temporarily adding volume to each shaft of hair or by creating a healthy scalp environment where more hair can grow. In some cases, results are immediately visible, but they are generally short-lived. For the best results, use a homemade hair-thickening remedy on a regular basis. Egg After shampooing, massage an   egg into your hair and let it sit for about 5 minutes. The non-hydrolyzed protein in an egg mimics the hydrolyzed proteins in hair-thickening shampoos, according to Dr. Harry Roth, a clinical professor of dermatology at the University of California . Vinegar Massage a mixture of 1 Tbsp. white or apple cider vinegar and 1 pint of water into your hair.

Natural ways to grow your hair faster

A number of conventional hair growth stimulants exist to both combat hair loss and promote the rapid growth of hair. Likewise, a number of more natural, herbal solutions exist to achieve the same goals. These natural solutions include the use of aloe vera, green tea, stinging nettle and wheat germ oil. Aloe Vera Used for generations by many South America n Indian tribes, aloe vera contains superoxide dismutane, an enzyme known for its hair-nourishing and stimulating abilities. Aloe vera additionally helps create nitric oxide, which is also good for potentially making hair grow faster (the vasodilators that nitric oxide affects stimulate hair growth). Rub a dollop of aloe vera into your hair and scalp daily. Both the gel and the massage are good for your hair and scalp, so do that instead of taking aloe vera as a pill. Green Tea Many herbalists recommend drinking several cups of green tea a day to promote hair growth. Green tea also can be taken as a capsule. It contains...
