Beauty Secrets
Guys!!

I have sooo many recipes!

Here are a few that I found online.


To say goodbye to white heads

sieve lemon juice through a cloth adding 5 gms rose petals and 5 gms glycerin to it.
Blend well and store in a bottle.
Before going to bed, rub in the lotion on the face.
The curative properties of lime and rose are known to tackle white heads while glycerin makes the skin smooth and supple. Even if ur not suffering from white heads you could still apply the lotion as it adds a luster and glow to the skin.

Or

a combination of carrot, tomato and orange juice is a well-known remedy for skin ailments. The juices cure most skin problems.

Exfoliating masks

oatmeal mask

wonderful for getting rid of dried skin! Mix 3/4 cup dry oatmeal with approximately 1/3 cup warm water into a paste and spread on face. Lie down and let it dry. Wash off with warm water, tone, and moisturize.


Nutty avocado honey mask

first mash and mix 1 ripe avocado with 1/2 tsp. Honey. Add 1 tsp. Almonds to mixture and continue to mash until creamy. Apply mixture to a clean face and relax for 15-20 minutes. Massage gently to exfoliate before rinsing with warm water.

Cornmeal concoction face wash

mix 1/2 cup cornmeal, 1 egg white, 1 tsp. Honey, 1/2 tsp. Baking soda, and 2 tbsp. Milk. Gently massage on face, avoiding eye area, let dry and wash off with warm water.

Well this isn't a homemade recipe, but I have had acne my whole life and the only thing to help me so far is klear action. It is generic proactiv. Then I also bought the proactiv sulfur mask because it kicks butt! Smells bad, but works great.

Also, for black heads and general clean pores I bought a pore vacuum. I was kinda weary, but dang that thing works. After a couple of weeks of using it my nose actually looked smaller because all of my pores were empty. Very cool.

All of the above are pretty inexpensive too. Klear action is like $19 for the set. It says it lasts for a month but it lasts me at least two because you don't need to use very much of it. The pore vacuum was I think $39.99. Panasonic though. Igia makes one, but everything I have ever bought from them was crap.

The only other things I have heard is to use egg whites as a mask (put on, let dry then wash off). It makes red marks lighten up and gives face a soft glow.
And if you have a zit that you want gone right away, put toothepaste on it overnight and it will dry it out pretty well. I use just like colgate, the regular white paste with peroxide.

Well, those are my only secrets! I hope they benefit someone.
