DO IT YOURSELF BEAUTY PRODUCTS

Women spend millions each year on Beaty aids and some rely on cosmetic surgery. The average female does not have the money on hand to try to keep themselves looking youthful through surgical procedures. The truth is you don’t have to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on over priced beauty products or plastic surgery. There are ways to enhance the way you look without spending any extra money. It won’t be the exact science of a medical procedure but you should be pleased. Five items that are right in your kitchen can work wonders for your face and skin. Egg whites, coffee grounds, cooking oil, milk and honey can yield excellent instant results without the cost. They also have nutritional properties that chemical products don’t offer.

EGG WHITES FOR INSTANT FACE LIFT

Take the white from one egg and place it in a bowl. Using a fork or a whisk, stir until it is frothy. Apply to your face , throat and neck, leave on for 30 minutes then rinse. You should notice that your skin feels revitalized, has a glow and is much firmer. You will have a temporary face lift without a plastic surgeon. This a great way for aging women to feel better about themselves. Eggs have protein and. B vitamins which are great for skin. After menopause many females find that their skin begins to sag. Using the egg white once or twice a week on a regular basis can be very beneficial.

HONEY WILL REDUCE PUFFINESS

Apply a thick coating of honey on your face, neck and throat. Leave on for 10 or 15 minutes then rinse. If you don’t see instant results, repeat for 2 more days. I have found that afte the third application that the puffiness under my eyes, in my cheeks and also sagging under my chin is deminished quite a bit. Just like with the egg white this should be done on an ongoing basis for the best results. Regular honey works but organic is recommended. Honey is a humacant and in addition to reducing puffiness and sagging, it also holds in moisture. You can also combine the honey and egg white to make a mark and leave it on for 40 minutes before washing it off. The vitamins in the honey will help your skin remain smooth.

Coffee Grounds Exfoliate

After you make your coffee don’t through away the grounds. While they are still moist apply them to your hands, face, neck and throat. They will cleanse and exfoliate and leave your skin much smoother. This two should be done regularly to maintain what you obtain. If you are going out for a special occasion, use all three of these methods together. Scrub with the coffee grounds first, followed by the honey, then ladtley the egg white. Remember to follow up with your normal routine and enjoy your own handiwork. Coffe has antioxidants which have anti-aging properties.

COOKING OIL FOR SMOOTH SOFT SKIN

Vegetable, corn, canola, and olive oils all have antioxidants and vitamin E. Applying just a little to face, neck, throat and hands will give you soft, smooth skin. Using these products as moisturizers is cheaper than what you can purchase in a store. These oils are wonderful during the winter to prevent dry skin and will also sllieveste chapped lips. As a bonus you can warm these cooking oils and use them as a treatment for your hair and scalp.

MILK DOES A BODY GOOD

Milk is the icing on the cake for these other products. You can add milk to the egg white , coffee ground and honey procedures to give your skin extra vitamins and minerals. You can also mix milk with oatmeal, or wheat flour to make a facial mask. Leave it on for about five minutes then rinse off. Milk has vitamin D which will help your skin to look healthier.

PUT THEM ALL TOGETHER

Here is a routine where you can incorporate all of these products. First use the coffee grounds and exfoliate your hands, face, neck, and throat. After rinsing apply the honey mask and follow up milk added to the egg white mask. Once your face has been rinsed clear and clean apply a little lemon juice as a toner. Once it drys you can apply the cooking oil of your choice. You will have incorporated all of the natural ingredients and you should be looking and feeling beautiful.
