SKIN CARE TIPS
Once a week, rub
your skin with baking soda while in the shower, for a smooth, silky
feeling. You can also do this on your face to remove black heads.
- Fresh tomatoes
are great for the oily areas of your face. (Please make sure to try
the tomato juice on your arm first, as your skin may be sensitive to
it). Rinse thoroughly immediately after using the tomato juice.
- For a great
moisturizer try olive oil: this healthy fat is good for you, and is
great for your skin. You can also use it to soothe sunburned skin.
- Vinegar can work
wonders for smelly feet and armpits. Mix water and vinegar 50/50,
and use in place of deodorant: it will keep the unpleasant sweat
smell away, without any irritation. As for your feet, if you suffer
with athlete's foot, a week of vinegar foot bath will help a lot,
sometimes completely getting rid of your condition.
- Egg yolk mixed
with honey makes for a really great mask: put on your skin, leave it
on for 20 minutes, and rinse off. Excellent for sensitive skin.
Honey gives a tingling/ticklish sensation, so if you are sensitive
to that, use the egg yolk alone.
- Another use for
egg yolk: for those with eczema, use it instead of soap. It doesn't
smell great, but it will heal your damaged skin.
- A great
treatment for dry skin is avocados: mash it, smooth it onto your
face, and rinse off after 20 minutes.
Lastly, make sure
you drink 8 glasses of water every day to keep your skin cared from
the inside out.
