Blemish-busting mask
Mix
one half teaspoon turmeric with just enough water to form a paste.
Apply to blemishes and leave overnight.
Chocolate body wrap
Mix a
quarter cup of honey with three quarters cup of cocoa powder. Heat
the mixture in the microwave until warm, but comfortable. Apply all
over the body and rinse off in the shower after 20 minutes.
Orange peel
This
peel will restore skin tone. Combine one peeled, chopped orange with
two tablespoons coarse sea salt. Massage mixture over dry skin and
let sit for five minutes. Rinse well.
Tomato treatment
Crush
a peeled tomato and spread over your face. Tomatoes contain acids
that balance the skin's pH levels and tighten pores.
Cellulite paste
Blend
a half cup of coffee beans with a half cup of salt, a teaspoon of
kelp and four tablespoons of olive oil until it creates a paste.
Apply the mixture over the dimpled skin and gently rub in circular
motion with hands or loofah. Rinse well, and then vigorously pat
dry.
What are the
Differences in Wrinkle Creams?
Are
you confused on which and what wrinkle or anti-aging creams to use?
With so many different products at there, how do we know which
ingredients do what?
Here are few and
what they are used for
Tretinoin... Daily use for 4-6
weeks will help reduce fine lines, roughness and hyper pigmentation.
Retin-A ... This ingredient helps
loosen oily dead skin cells that blocks the pores. Fine lines and
wrinkles will appear smoother. You should see a difference in about
6 weeks.
Renova... This ingredient
exfoliates, slows hyper pigmentation and increases collagen
formation. Unfortunately, you have to be patient. It could take up
to 6 months to see any change.
AHA's... are chemical exfoliants
that loosen the dead skin cells that are "glued" to the skin
surface. Often found in creams and lotions.
BHA's... Less irritating and
designed for sensitive skin. Especially effective for oily skin as
they can penetrate and clean out clogged pores.
Coenzyme - Q10... Used as an
anti-oxidant, research suggests that it can stimulate growth of new
cells and produce firmer skin.
New
research is pointing in a frightening direction. They aren't sure
what the long term results of using some of these wrinkle creams
could reveal. With all products, if allergic reaction occurs,
discontinue use immediately.
