Homemade Remedies
A little DIY can be fun so here are a list of widely available ingredients that you can use to whip up your own homemade mask and treatment.
Egg
When egg whites dry, they have a temporary tightening effect which can help tone and and shrink pores. Simply beat up an egg white and apply onto the face for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. As for the yolk, it can also be used on its own as a mask for healing blemishes. Egg yolks also very high in vitamin A and you can mix it with a little honey for a moisturizing mask.
Baking soda
This works great as an exfoliator. Simply mix with a few drops of water to form a paste. Massage onto the face gently in a circular motion to smooth rough skin and rinse with warm water. Baking soda can also be used as a teeth whitener. Sprinkle a little on your toothbrush before the toothpaste goes on and brush away.
Honey
Known for its moisturizing and healing properties, honey has always been used by models and pros for all kinds of treatments. To treat chapped lips, simply apply a thin layer onto lips before you go to bed. Reapply during the day if necessary.
Lemon juice
The acids in lemon juice is great for lightening skin and fading scars. To lighten discolored elbows, soak your elbows in a bowl of lemon juice for 5 to 10 minutes. Lemon juice can also be used to lighten hair under the sun. Simply spray onto your hair before you hit the door.
Aspirin
The drug itself is a beta hydroxy acid which can help reduce oil, dry up blemishes and exfoliate the skin. All you have to do is crush up a few uncoated aspirin, mix with water to form a paste, spread it your face, leave on for 15 minutes or so then wash it off. You can also use aspirin to create a treatment for ingrowns. Click here for more details.
Potato
Potatoes contain an enzyme called catecholase, which is a skin lightener and is great for fading undereye circles. Simply place a slice of raw potato or a cheesecloth filled with grated potatoes over the whole eye area for 10 to 15 minutes. Be careful not to let the potato juice come into contact with your eyes.
Beer
Believe it or not but beer can be used to help add body and shine to your hair. All you have to do is pour it in your hair after you shampoo, let it soak for a bit then rinse out with cold water.
Asprin && honey work really good = )
a good mask is to sprinkle some non coated aspirin pills so that they get kinda gritty .. add a dab of honey && rub it into your face && let it stay for about 10 minutes .. then rinse.
aspirin alone is great to exfoliate.
as for the others .. i `ll deffinately be sure to try them.
