DIY SKIN SMOOTHER FOR SILKY SOFT LEGS

DIY SKIN SMOOTHER FOR SILKY SOFT LEGS

Did you know you are supposed to exfoliate your LEGS? I always assumed that the very act of SHAVING your legs was exfoliating in itself.  Oh silly me!

I stumbled across this idea for silky smooth legs at militaryfit-bombshell for the other day and knew I wanted to try it. When I started looking into it more…I came across all sorts of homemade leg exfoliators! Apparently you’re supposed to exfoliate each time your shave your legs. Who knew? Obviously not me. :-)
But I do now!  And although I feel like I’ve been missing out all these years….I couldn’t be happier about discovering this stuff! After using it this morning I would venture to say my legs have never felt softer OR smoother! No kidding.
The recipe is super simple…the most challenging part for me was actually finding time to take a bath. Well, unfortunately I never DID find that time….so I made do and used it in the shower instead. I’ve never really been a fan of shaving in the bathtub anyway. All that hair floating around and such. (sorry for the visual!) So this worked well for me.Leg Exfoliator

Super Silky Summer Legs


Ingredients.
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup oil (I used olive oil, but you can use any oil, coconut oil, baby oil, canola oil, etc.)
  • 3 tablespoons citrus juice (lemon or lime) OR 20 drops Lemon Essential Oil
  • Razor
Directions. 
Mix everything together. I put mine in a mason jar and just shook it all up. (If you take the glass jar into the bath or shower with you, please be extra careful.)

Leg Exfoliator 2

Soak your legs in the tub for 5 minutes. Or if you’re taking a shower, wash and conditioner your hair first, then after your legs have had a chance to soak for a few minutes, apply the mixture to your legs and rub it in. I was surprised at how GOOD this felt! I ended up using it on my feet and arms as well!
The abrasiveness of the sugar rubs off all the dirt and dead skin, the lemon juice works as a mild skin peel revealing brighter, smoother skin, and, of course, the olive oil penetrates deep into the skin and provides long-lasting moisture.
After rubbing the mixture in for a few minutes….it’s time to shave your legs. Feels pretty good huh?  Wellwe’re just getting started!
Now, rinse and REPEAT! Yep, do it again. Rub mixture all over legs (and feet!)…shave….and rinse again. This time you might want to use a mild soap to get some of the oil off. Or not. Your preference. (Note: make sure the bottom of the shower is oil-free when you are done so the next person in doesn’t get a slippery surprise. Since I used body wash after shaving, mine was fine.)
When you get out of the bath or shower, put lotion on and enjoy your silky smoooooooth legs!  I guarantee you will be so amazed at how soft your skin feels, you won’t be able to keep your hands off yourself! ;-)

Homemade Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

Homemade Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

Over the centuries, many people have used Apple Cider Vinegar for many different purposes such as: making pickles, dressing salad or folk remedies. Today, it becomes more popular that ACV has some significant benefits for taking care of our beauty like losing weight, brightening up the skin, caring hair, etc.

Making DIY ACV is always such an easy and inexpensive way. It just takes a short amount of your time by 100% natural and safe way. There are many methods to make Apple Cider Vinegar, including making ACV from scraps or whole apple. According to this article, we will show you the way how to make it from scraps. 

This method uses apple scraps like the peels and cores. This is a perfect convenient method, the reason is that you can both eat the apple and make ACV as well. This way is recommended because it’s faster and effective than using the whole apple.


Apple Scraps Vinegar
Let’s get it started!

Ingredients.

A wide – mouth jar

Apple scraps (the peels and cores from apple)

A piece of cheesecloth for covering jar.

Directions.

Step 1.

Leave the scraps to air until they turn brown as you want.



Step 2.
Put the apple scraps into the jar and top it up with water. You can continue add scraps for a few days later if you want, but don’t put it on top of the jar.




Step 3.
Cover with the cheesecloth and put it in the dark place.


Apple Scraps Vinegar


Pour the vinegar through a strainer to filter out the scraps. If it doesn’t turn out strong enough you can add more sweetener and ferment for another couple of weeks.

Apple Scraps Vinegar

You’ll notice the scraps in the jar starts to thicken after a few days and grayish scum forms on top. When this happens, stop adding scraps and leave it for a month for fermenting. 
After a month later, you can taste and start testing it. If it suitable with you, strain out the apple scraps and bottle the vinegar. It is ok if your vinegar is cloudy. There will be some sediments from the apple. If you don’t like the cloudiness, straining it through a paper coffee filter which will remove most of the sediments.


What is your favorite way to use apple cider vinegar?

Best Expert Ways to Remove Dark Circle & Brighten Up Your Eyes

Best Expert Ways to Remove Dark Circle & Brighten Up Your Eyes


We’ve all been there: You catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and see the eyes of a tired woman staring back at you. But a full night of shut-eye isn’t enough to erase those dark circles, says Charlotte Clark, a dermatologist in New York City. It may help diminish their appearance a bit, but to get rid of circles for good, first consider their source.


Why They Appear.


Genetics are the biggest culprit. If you inherit fair or thin skin under the eyes, it’s more obvious when blood pools there (often because of slower circulation from lack of sleep). This accumulation causes fragile capillaries to stretch and leak.

Age is another factor. Over time, skin loses collagen and thins, so veins show through more prominently. Sunbathing speeds up this process by breaking down collagen and mottling skin color.

Seasonal allergies are to blame for many people. “They trigger the release of histamines in the body, which in turn inflame blood vessels and cause swelling,” says Ranella Hirsch, a dermatologist in Boston. To determine why your circles happen, gently stretch the skin under your eyes. If that area becomes darker, the circles are probably due to genetics or aging. If the color doesn’t change, UV rays or allergies are probably the cause.

How to Treat Them.


If your circles are the result of vascular issues, double up on pillows at night to stop blood from building up under your eyes. In the morning, apply a cold compress for about five minutes to constrict the blood vessels, says Jeannette Graf, an associate clinical professor of dermatology at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine, in New York City. Use an eye cream with caffeine, which helps constrict vessels (try Lancôme Rénergie Microlift R.A.R.E. Intense Repositioning Eye Lifter; $72, lancome-usa.com for info). Other smart alternatives: Arnica-based creams (found at health-food stores), which are considered to have anti-inflammatory properties, may reduce the appearance of darkness. And eye creams with green tea or grapeseed oil help strengthen capillary walls (try Replenix Intensive Eye Lightening Serum, $59, dermstore.com). You can tweak your diet, too. Flavonol-rich dark chocolate (an ounce a day) and foods full of omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, walnuts) may improve blood flow to the skin, says Lisa Drayer, a registered dietitian in New York City.


For allergy-induced circles, consider taking an over-the-counter antihistamine before allergies begin to abate shadows.

And, last, if thin skin is the issue, use a collagen-building cream. “One of my top go-to ingredients is retinol,” says Hirsch. “It helps increase collagen production” (one product to try is ROC Multi-Correxion Eye Treatment, $25 at drugstores). Vitamin C also encourages production and can help brighten skin tone (find it in a product such as Renée Rouleau Vitamin C Eye Serum, $42.50, reneerouleau.com). And wear sunscreen daily, says Hirsch, or you’ll cancel out the benefits from any of these treatments.

For quick circle camouflage, apply eye cream and let it dry for a few minutes. Then pat on a creamy concealer that matches your skin tone. Top with a layer of loose powder, which helps prevent makeup from caking in creases.

DIY Homemade Yogurt Facemask for Sensitive or Sunburnt Skin

DIY Homemade Yogurt Facemask for Sensitive or Sunburnt Skin


Yogurt is undeniably good for you. Definitely. I often apply this recipe twice a week and found it very effective in treating acne and dry skin. Yogurt is so mild that even those with highly sensitive skin can use it every day. This mask is great for soothing chapped, sunburned or otherwise irritated skin. 
Extra tip: This mask works well for other skin types as well. For oily skin, add a couple drops of lemon or lime juice. For dry skin, mix in a couple tablespoons of honey.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup natural yogurt 
  • ½ cup oatmeal (any type of basic oatmeal works here)                                             

Preparation:

Mix the ingredients together.
Apply to the skin for 10-15 minutes.
Wash off mask with a washcloth steamed in the microwave (careful that it's not too hot).

Another fun option for oatmeal face masks: 
Egg whites. Mix the oatmeal and an egg white with grapefruit and honey. Let the mixture dry on face, then gently wash off with a few splashes of warm water. Follow with a steaming washcloth to the face.



Hope you enjoy!

Home Spa Cuticle Oil Recipe

Home Spa Cuticle Oil Recipe



 Preparation:
  • 1 tablespoon Avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon Wheat germ oil
  • 5 drops vitamin E oil
  • 10 drops Lemon essential oil *
  • 10 drops Lavender essential oil*
You can also use this on your fingernails every couple of days, if you really want them to grow long and strong.
*If you’re pregnant, check with your doctor before using essential oils or feel free to skip them in this recipe as I have designed the cuticle oil so that it still works really well without. The problem is that there have been very few studies into the impact of essential oils on pregnancy and there is a lot of conflicting information with what oils can and cannot be used in pregnancy, which is why I think it is something that you and your doctor will have to decide what is appropriate for you. It is interesting to note that the FDA has listed a lot of the essential oils as safe to eat as food additives.

How To Get Rid of Freckles

How To Get Rid of Freckles


Freckles
are harmless but as they look bad and can be quite embarrassing. There are medical ways to remove freckles but the process can be very expensive.
If you have freckles, then you can easily get rid of them by trying several natural treatments at home. These treatments are safe to try at home and there is also no risk of side effects.
Both men and women can have freckles. According to the American Association of Dermatologists (AAD), freckles are a sign of skin damage. Some of the common causes behind the appearance of freckles are too much exposure to the sunlight, hereditary, hormonal imbalance, and many more. Though freckles could be present all over the body, they are mostly present in areas which often get exposed to sun rays.


HERE ARE TOP 10 HOME REMEDIES TO GET RID OF FRECKLES 



Sour Cream.




The lactic acids present in sour milk can help a lot to get rid of ugly freckles. Take some sour cream and directly apply it on the affected skin area and allow it to dry for a few minutes. Instead of rinsing it off completely with water, you must gently wipe it off with a soft tissue or a towel and then apply some moisturizer. This remedy will not cause skin irritation or dryness. Follow this remedy at least once daily until the freckles go away. Alternatively you can also rinse the affected skin area with sour milk daily. In case you do not have sour milk, then you can always use yogurt.


Lemon Juice.



Lemon juice is a highly effective ingredient that can be used to treat freckle as well as brown spots. Lemon juice has lightening properties and so it will nicely bleach the dark spots on your skin. Take fresh lemon juice and with the help of your fingers apply it on the affected skin area and gently massage the area for ten to fifteen minutes. Finally rinse the skin with lukewarm water. Do this remedy twice a day. Another option is to dissolve some sugar in the juice of one lemon and then apply this mixture on to the affected area with the help of a brush. Gently massage for some time and then wash the skin with water.


Honey.




Make a mixture of honey and water and heat it slightly and then apply it on the affected area and allow it to sit for a few minutes. Finally rinse the area properly with warm water. You can also make an herbal mask at home by mixing wheat germ with warm honey. Apply this mask and allow it to sit for about ten minutes and then rinse the area with warm water and then wash it again with cold water. This is one of the most effective home remedies for freckles. Another option is to make a mixture of honey and yogurt, and apply it on the freckles for half an hour daily.


Eggplant.




Eggplant can also be used to remove freckles. Take one fresh eggplant and slice it into thick pieces and apply the slices all over the affected skin area. Gently rub the eggplant slices in a circular motion and leave them on the skin for ten to fifteen minutes. Follow this remedy once daily for about a week to notice significant improvement in the appearance of your skin. The freckles will become lightened considerably after two weeks.


Buttermilk.



Applying buttermilk on freckles can also help in lightening them. In fact, one of the easiest ways to get rid of freckles is to apply buttermilk over the freckles, leave it for ten minutes and then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Another option is to make a thick paste of powdered oatmeal and buttermilk. Apply this paste on the affected area, leave for about half an hour and then finally wash it off with cold water. Do this remedy once daily until you get positive results.


Horseradish.



Horseradish juice when dabbed on the affected skin area for ten minutes daily can also help a lot in lightening the freckles. Another option is to take one grated horseradish and mix it with the juice of one lemon and blend them together to make a paste. Apply this paste all over the affected skin area and allow it to dry. Finally wash it off with the help of some cold water. When this remedy is followed on regular basis it will soon lighten the freckles and make them less noticeable.


Onion.



Onions also can be used for removing freckles and brown spots. For better result, use red onion instead of the normal one. Take one red onion and cut it into thick slices and then rub the onion slices gently on the freckles twice daily. You must continue this remedy daily until the freckles fade away. Another option is to grate one red onion and extract its juice and then apply the juice onto the affected skin area twice a day. For better result, add a teaspoon of vinegar to onion juice. If this remedy is repeated for a week or two, nothing can stop you from enjoy spotless skin.


Castor Oil.



Castor oil is another way to treat freckles at home as it can equalize the skin pigmentation and help the freckles to fade away. Before going to bed, apply castor oil on the affected skin area and next morning wipe it off with a soft tissue and then only wash the skin with lukewarm water. Continue this remedy daily until you get rid of the freckles. For better result opt for odorless castor oil. Alternatively, you can also use vitamin E oil or olive oil to reduce blemishes and freckles.


Papaya.


Papaya juice is another effective remedy to get rid of ugly freckles. Papain is a kind of enzyme present in papaya that can help to lighten freckles. Take fresh papaya juice and apply it directly on the freckles with the help of a clean cotton ball and gently massage the area. After ten minutes, you can rinse the skin with the help of some cold water. This remedy will remove freckles and any other kind of skin blemishes and at the same time it will make your skin healthier and soft.


Sesame Seeds.




For this remedy you will need equal amount of sesame seeds and turmeric. Mix both the ingredients together and grind them properly by adding little water to make a smooth paste. Apply this paste on the affected skin area. Leave it for ten to fifteen minutes and then rinse it off with cold water. Make this a daily routine and soon your freckles will fade away.
