Natural Skin Care Remediesoatmeal scrub

Once upon a time, beauty products were found around the house.  Now there is a special product for every beauty issue.

Back then, if your skin was dry, you would rub on some olive oil.  If you eyes were puffy, cucumbers did the trick.  And, you know what?  Spas are now using these old methods, because they actually worked!

Here are a few ideas for you to try.

Apple Cider Vinegar - Apple cider vinegar has a high acid content and is excellent for fighting the bacteria that causes breakouts.  Place 1/4 cup of parsley into a measuring cup and add 1/2 cup of boiling water.  Let it steep for 10 minutes and then place in cool water until the mixture has cooled off.  Drain the water through a colander into another measuring cup.  Pour the water into a spray bottle.  Add 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and 5 drops of tea tree oil which is an antiseptic.  Shake well and spray on clean face.  You can store the spray bottle in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Avocado oil - Avocado oil has fatty acids to moisturize the skin and antioxidants to protect it.  Mix 1 tablespoon of avocado oil with 1 tablespoon of evening-primrose oil in a bottle.  Seal the lid and shake vigorously.  Apply several drops to clean skin and cover your face with a warm washcloth for one minute until the skin absorbs the oils.

Beer - The yeast and hops in beer help expand the hair shaft and the cuticle which adds volume to the hair.  The acid in the beer strips the hair of product that is hard to remove.  Shampoo your hair as normal.  Pour 1 bottle of high yeast beer over your hair.  Rinse.  Note:  Do not use light beer.

Eggs - Use eggs on your hair to improve the hair's shine and luster.  It is especially good for damaged hair.  Mix 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of coconut oil, and 2 tablespoons of sesame oil.  Work the mixture into dry hair and wrap your head  in a hot, moist towel.  You can dampen the towel and microwave for 15 seconds.  Be careful!  The towel could be hot.  Keep the towel on for 10 minutes.  Remove the towel and add a generous amount of shampoo and work through your hair.  Rinse and condition as usual.

Milk - It may be a little expensive to do too often, but you can add 1 gallon of whole milk to a tub of warm water and soak in the tub.  This is a gentle exfoliate and works great for people who have eczema, psoriasis or just sensitive skin.  The fat in the milk moisturizes the skin.

Oatmeal - Oatmeal contains an anti-inflammatory and the soluble fiber in it leaves a thin film on the skin that helps hold in moisture.  Place 1 cup of whole oats into a clean, dry washcloth.  Pull the sides up and secure it with a rubber band.  Dunk the oats into a basin of warm water 4 times squeezing the moisture out after each time.  When the water becomes cloudy, apply the water to your face and let it air dry.

Oranges - Orange contains an acid the helps to loosen dead skin cells.  It is great for your feet and elbows.  Roll the orange on the counter while pressing down.  This releases the juice.  Cut an orange in half and squeeze the juice from one half into a medium-sized bowl.  Add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1/4 cup olive oil and mix well.  You now have a moisture-rich scrub. Massage the sugar mixture over any problem areas to slough off dead skin. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.

Walnuts - Use them to exfoliate your hands and feet.  Walnuts have oil and they help to slough off the skin.  In a food processor, blend 1/3 cup of shelled walnuts, 1/2 cup of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of honey on low.  Process until you have a fine paste.  Rub the mixture over your skin for 2 minutes and rinse with warm water.
