BEAUTY RECIPES

Hi Venus! Ladies like us have different insights – far more different from guys out there. Sometimes we spend days, months, and even years just to seek answers to our simple questions. And it takes a lifetime for men to understand women and vice versa. That’s why I want to spend my excess time writing this blog. So we can talk just anything under the sun – hobbies, beauty secrets, recipes, love issues, destinations – just everything! To start with, here’s the topic that most women will love: Beauty Secrets!

Most ladies especially working women missed the fun of going to salons. But being busy is not a reason to stop pampering yourself. You have to have at least a day – or spend one of your weekends – for yourself. Only for yourself! Have a “lazy day”. You can sleep as long as you want. Wake up at 11pm, eat your lunch, have a long nice bath, and spend your day to spoil yourself from head-to-toe! Don’t think of anybody or anything. It’s not a sin to be selfish just for a day!

Here are some beauty recipes, which will really help you to keep your glow during your busiest days:

Hair:

Have a hair treatment every week! You can buy cheap Hot Oils from the supermarkets near you. Just wet your hair, massage some hot oils onto your hair from root to tip. Put a shower cap and leave it for 20 mins. If you don’t have time to buy hot oil, you can rather use conditioner.

Face:
You can use yogurt as a cleanser for sensitive skin. Cleanse and exfoliate in one step by mixing 1 tsp. baking soda with 1 tsp. plain yogurt.  Apply mixture and leave on for 2 minutes, then gently massage into skin.  Rinse well with warm water.  (Note:  This combination gently cleans pores, removes dead cells and softens dry, sensitive skin without irritation.)

Body:
A healthy skin is easy to achieve just by exfoliating once a week. You can use St. Ives body Scrub or Baking Soda and Oatmeal (for dry skin) or alternately every week. Mix together two tablespoons of baking soda, and four tablespoons of dry oatmeal. Add a few drops of water at a time while thoroughly mixing the baking soda and the oatmeal until a paste is created. Gently apply to skin and let it set for a moment. Rub gently and rinse off. For the feet, you could apply it to a brush, but direct contact on the skin works best.

Feet:
Many people said that lots of guys love beautiful feet! So better have it!

1. Soak feet in warm soapy water to which hydrogen peroxide is added to loosen hidden dirt and soften rough skin. Allow the feet to remain in water for 7-10 minutes.

2. Carry out brush cleaning of the toe-nails while scrubbing them well.

3. Remove hard skin of both feet with a foot scraper.

4. Remove both feet from water and dry them thoroughly.

5. Apply cream on the cuticles of the nails to make them soft.

6. Remove cuticle skin with the combined use of cuticle pusher, remove and clipper.

7. Feet and leg massage is done with nourishing cream to avail maximum benefit of the pedicure treatment.

8. Wipe feet with a hot towel to remove extra cream and make sure that you don't slip after the pedicure.

9. Buff nails with the buffer while giving downward strokes to make the toe-nails glossy and smooth.

10. Before beginning the nail-polish procedure, keep rolled cotton pieces between the toes and apply nail-polish on the toes in the same way as in a manicure.

Hands:
Here are some ideas to have hands which all guys will love to hold!

1. Wash hands thoroughly with warm water, then, using a coarse washcloth, rub briskly. While skin is slightly damp, apply a mixture of one teaspoon honey and one teaspoon olive oil. Place hands in small plastic bags, then in a pair of cotton gloves for thirty minutes. The heat helps the treatment penetrate.

2. Warm a cup of milk in the microwave for thirty seconds (or until warm, but comfortable to the touch). Soak your hands for five minutes to strengthen nails and hydrate skin. Not only is milk loaded with lactic acid, a natural alpha hydroxyl acid that gently exfoliates dead skin, but its high calcium content will strengthen fragile nails.

Teeth Whitening:
Are you longing for those perfect white teeth? Then do these simple steps to help you whiten your teeth in no time:

Take a teaspoon of lemon juice and a tsp of salt. Make a paste. Apply this on the yellowish tint.


You don’t need to spend much to be glam and beautiful! You just have to be patient to get what you want. And remember – No guts, no glory. Just be yourself, be confident, and smile… and let your inner beauty shine!
