7 Beauty Secrets from Your Kitchen ...

1. Raw Honey

Raw honey is one of the best beauty secrets from your kitchen for radiant and glowing skin! All you need to do is thoroughly cleanse your skin and remove all makeup. Apply a teaspoon or two of raw honey to your face and let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Rinse your face off and pat dry. You can follow with your favorite moisturizer if you like! Do this 1-2 times weekly to have glowing results.

2. Olive Oil

Olive oil makes a very healthy deep conditioner for your hair. I like to apply some to wet hair and wrap it in a warm or hot towel. Leave the towel on for about 20 minutes before shampooing and conditioning your hair as normal. Depending on how often you use hot tools on your hair, you should deep condition your hair weekly or every week and a half.

3. Apple Cider Vinegar

In order for your hair to style better and look healthier, you should strip it of build-up about every month. The easiest and most natural way to do this is in the shower with apple cider vinegar! Shampoo your hair, then mix ½ cup of apple cider vinegar with ½ cup of water. Pour this mixture over your hair, then rinse and condition as usual.

4. Coconut Oil

Don’t spend money on an eye makeup remover! Instead, use coconut oil! It’s natural and won’t irritate even the most sensitive eyes. It’s also safe for contact lens wearers! Warm up a little in the palm of your hand and rub it onto your eyes with a cotton ball to remove every trace of makeup.

5. Avocado

Avocado is a lifesaver for anyone who suffers from dry skin. Because it’s rich in fats and oils, it has strong moisturizing properties! Mash up a fresh avocado and apply it to your skin for 5 minutes. Here are a few other ideas: Strawberries are great for acne-prone skin, and bananas are perfect for sallow skin!

6. Green Tea

Stayed up a little too late last night? Banish puffy eyes and under eye circles with green tea! Steep two bags in hot water until thoroughly heated. Remove the bags from the water, and squeeze out the excess. Now lay on one each eye for 10 minutes, then rinse your face and apply makeup as usual. Do this weekly to help minimize the appearance of hereditary puffy eyes.

7. Lemon Juice

Lemons are a very acidy fruit, so they work well to dry up oily skin or fight acne. You can make a toner out of the juice of one lemon, ½ a cup of water, and ½ a cup of witch hazel. Store it in the fridge for a refreshing pick-me-up halfway through the day. Just apply to your face with a cotton ball and allow to air dry!

Please do use caution when trying anything new. Make sure all products are not expired or gone bad before using them. And testing out a little area of your skin first is a good idea, in case you have sensitive skin. These products are all natural and very good for your skin, but that doesn’t eliminate allergic reactions for those with very sensitive skin!
