Hello my lovelies! As you can all tell I have been inactive
on my blog and youtube channel due to my final examinations, but now that I
have officially ended another year of uni it’s time for the holidays! These
holidays will be a bit different as I finally have one Christmas casual job
confirmed! (I have applied for many others too) Woohoo!! Getting to the main
topic of this blog post, Christmas is approaching fast and what better way to
treat yourselves’ during this season is with some beauty treatments which
anyone can make using simple ingredients from the kitchen! Here are 10 beauty
remedies that the Australasian College Broadway and I have to share with you
guys.
#1. Red wine is probably the only thing that gets better
with age, as the older the wine the more mature and elegant the taste is. As
for us young ladies, we are similar, we age elegantly and mature over the time
but what all us girls really want, is to do this without the aging of our youthful
skin. In this case, mixing a bit of red wine with corn flour and applying it
onto your skin like a mask will rejuvenate the skin as its’ tartaric acid
stimulates the development of new cells in the skins’ outer layers, which will
result in you in maintaining youthful and glowing skin as well as preventing
sun damage. I have also listed a few other beauty benefits of red wine:
1 Healthy glowing
skin-contains antioxidants that protects your skin and prevent it from aging.
2 Removes tan and
blemishes
3 Clears pores and
prevents further breakouts
4 Treats oily and
congested skin
#2. Simply placing sliced cucumbers on your eyes or your
entire face can fade dark circles and freckles, reduce puffy eyes and hydrate
the skin.
#3. Chamomile tea contains antioxidants, cleansing and
moisturizing properties. Therefore using Chamomile tea bags under the eye reduces
dark circles, eye puffiness and soothes tired eyes as it generates a cooling
and calming effect. It is also able to accelerate the healing process of minor wounds
and disinfect them too. If you want to lighten your skin naturally, Chamomile
tea is perfect as it is an ‘all-natural’ skin bleach and it also gives a
healthy glow too.
#4. Mixing warm water with oats is a great and natural exfoliating
mask to use on the skin as it is very soothing, gentle and moisturizing too
which makes it great for those with sensitive/dry skin. I’ve been using this
remedy for quite a long time now and I must say it is one of my favorite
remedies!
#5. Another natural exfoliating lotion can be made with the
combination of olive oil, sea salt, kiwifruit, pineapple and sour milk as it
helps to remove all dead skin cells. I have yet to try this beauty remedy out
and I’ll let you know the results as soon as I have tried it out.
I know the above recipe may seem like a lot of ingredients
so here is another great exfoliator you could make with just two simple
ingredients which you can purchase at your local supermarkets.
#6. Combining crushed basil and rosemary with olive oil and gently massage it
onto your face will remove dead skin cells just as effectively as the above
recipe.
#7. Honey, an another amazing natural product, which can be
used as a mask to lighten old or new scars, cleanse acne, soothe, hydrate and moisturize
the skin, reduces wrinkles and any signs of aging and fades dark circles too!
The best part is it is edible too but those with sensitive skin may want to
test it out on their arm before using it as it may cause irritations.
#8. Plain yoghurt is a great moisturizing and brightening
mask, especially for those with dry skin. You can also combine some honey with
the yoghurt for that extra moisturizing effect!
#9. A mixture of plain yoghurt and avocado is a great
anti-aging mask as well as cleanser. Avocadoes have vitamin A which helps purging
off dead skin cells and protects your skin against the harsh environment.
#10. Macadamia oil, olive oil and sesame oil are all great
substitutes for massage or facial oil.
Macadamia oil is a natural UV sun protector which allows the skin to tan but
not burn.
Using macadamia oil often will also result in softened, moisturized and even
add a glow to dry or damaged skin. It can also be used to treat dry, damaged and
aging skin as it contains palmitoleic acid which has many great anti-aging compounds.
Olive oil hydrate
is able to tender the skin around your eyes and soften fine lines.
It is also able to hydrate, soften and nourish the skin too.
Sesame oil has antibacterial and healing properties which speeds
up the healing process of wounds and also has anti-inflammatory properties
which help in curing several skin conditions. It also has vitamin E and an
antioxidant called Sesamol which hold back the aging process as well as
preventing free radical damage to the skin. The fatty acids in sesame oil can
make your skin soft and smooth which is beneficial for treating cracked heels
and dry knees and elbows.
