Instant remedy for a dull face and unsightly nose

Dull face
Sometimes our face simply refuses to brighten up or even to look clean. It is caused by dead skin cells clinging to the skin surface. Unless you shake off these dead cells, fresh cells will not come up and your face will continue to look dull, dirty and patchy.

You need oat meal grains to whisk away dry dead winter withered cells and embedded grime. It is an old time skin exfoliater which gives amazing results.

Gently rub a handful or flaky oat meal grains over pre-moistened skin, rub for about 10 minutes and wash off. Now run your hand over the skin to experience the soft ‘n’ silky touch.

Unsightly nose:
Our nose is ever eager to collect dust, smoke, oily fumes and what not! Result? Large grimy pores and rough skin.

unsightly nose
Make a paste of one egg white and a few drops of lemon juice. Apply it over your nose with a soft brush (use your blusher brush).

When the first coat is about to dry, put another coat over it. Let these dry completely and wash off.

Keep the left-over paste, if any, in the refrigerator, to be used the next day, or the same day after a gap of 5 to 6 hours.

    Basil essential oil is used topically to massage the skin. It enhances the luster of dull looking skin as well as hair. As a result it is extensively used in many skin care supplements that claim to improve the tone of your skin. It is also used for acne and skin infections.

    You can also use oatmeal and water to create a paste to slough away rough skin or as a mask to help rejuvenate a dull complexion. The acids in strawberries, papayas, and lemons can also help perk up your face, so try rubbing some of the juices on your skin for a fruit enzyme peel.

    If you have dry skin, it may be because you’re not getting enough healthy fats – try eating more avocado or fish, or take fish oil supplements. Diet is incredibly important too- make sure you’re eating things that are good for you, that your body can easily process. Otherwise, all the icky that it can’t process will come out through your pores!

    Take 1 tbsp. gram flour, 1/4 tsp. orange peel powder, 1 tbsp. beaten yogurt and 1 tsp. olive oil. Mix together and apply on your face and neck. When it has dried, rinse off with warm water, and then with cold water.

    your best bet is to take a general multivitamin, along with going outside or even going to a tanning booth for a few minutes a couple of times per week. Anymore it isn't odd for a guy to go to a tanning bed, but don't overdo it. They sell vitamins specifically for skin, but honestly they are generally the same ones you will find in a multivitamin. Also you might want to look into the colors you wear, and the color of your hair, dark colored clothes, and dark colored hair make pale people appear more pale, light colors like white or cream shirts and light brown or blond hair will make you appear a bit less pale automatically

    The easiest way to put the life back into the skin is to add a sheer color from a tinted powder or bronzer. Applying with a brush, lightly dust on the cheeks, tip of nose, chin and a sweep across the forehead for a more natural appearance.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

The diminutive lemon is a very versatile beauty-aid and this cheap and golden-coloured fruit has excellent properties for enhancing your looks. Simple lemon-based preparations, you can mix in your own kitchen, will surely bring a dramatic transformation in your beauty regimen.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
