When it comes to our skin, the simpler the better, meaning the fewer ingredients the better, says Yahoo. So how about taking it one step further: skip the chemicals and no-idea-what-is-in-your-skincare-products and go straight for 100 percent natural with things in your fridge. DIY skincare? Sure it is, but it's also a good time to go on a skin diet - going full on natural to revitalize your skin to its healthy glow.
Bannish blemishes with Greek yogurt. With a dab of full fat Greek yogurt on a blemish, reduce redness and loosen the clogged pore, according to MSN. While the fat hydrates your skin, the lactic acid will gently loosen dull skill cells.
Whiten teeth with orange peels. Using an orange peel, gently scrub your teeth to help whiten them. An orange peel will scrub away the plaque buildup after the citric acid breaks it down. Rinse your mouth well with water after, but don't brush for at least an hour.
Tone your skin with champagne. High in antioxidants due to the vitamin C and E laden grape seed extract, champagne will help protect your skin's vital collagen and elastin with its free radicals and oxidative properties. Also, pour a glass of champagne over your just-washed hair from roots to ends to give your hair more shine.
Avocado for an anti-wrinkle eye treatment. Mash an avocado (the section closest to the skin is the richest in nutrients) and place the mash on the orbital rim around your eye, leave on for 10 to 15 minutes. This must-have natural beauty treatment works excellent as a scalp mask as well.
Treat sun spots and pigmentation with apple cider vinegar. Use raw, unfiltered, organic apple cider vinegar and, using a cotton swab, apply to sun spots and pigmentation. Leave it on for five minutes. Rinse with warm water. It's an excellent exfoliater!
Cellulite gets the blues when you use honey to make a massage treatment. Apply two teaspoons of honey on problem areas and, using your dry hands, drag the honey back and forth in a massaging motion. Just five to 10 minutes of this massage brings oxygen and nutrients to the skin as you force circulation back to the area.
See what's in your fridge to boost your skin's radiance au natural!
