are always some miracle natural remedies that promise good results. Along with
natural treatments, it is important to get good sleep, reduce your stress level
and get proper nutrition and exercise to keep you looking beautiful from within

every girl should know.
Toothpaste for Acne
Acne scars are usually the result
of inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin
cells and bacteria. The pore swells, causing a break in the follicle wall.
Acne, blemishes and other skin breakouts are most common among teenagers. In
fact, 70 to 87 percent of teenager’s report having this problem. Acne can
appear on the face, chest, back and scalp. Excessive oil production,
accumulation of dead skin cells, clogged pores and bacteria are the four most
common factors contributing to acne. Here is an inexpensive quick fix for
your zits. Apply a small amount of white toothpaste on the affected area before
going to bed and rinse it off the next morning. Repeat daily for a few days
until your skin is free of acne. Aloe Vera gel is also effective for mild to
moderate acne. Just extract the gel from an aloe Vera leaf and apply it on the
affected area, 2 to 3 times daily. The antibacterial and
anti-inflammatory properties of aloe Vera help kill the bacteria causing acne as
well as reduce inflammation.
Sugar Scrub for Chapped Lips
Paradoxically, constant licking of
the lips causes drying and irritation, and eventually the mucosa
splits or cracks. The lips have a greater tendency to dry out in
cold, dry weather. Digestive enzymes present in saliva may also
irritate the lips, and the evaporation of the water in saliva saps
moisture from them. When it comes to beauty, you simply cannot ignore your
lips. While soft, pink lips enhance the appearance of your face, cracked
and dark lips can spoil your overall beauty. Apart from using low-quality lip
care products, excessive exposure to direct sunlight, excessive smoking, high
caffeine intake and hormonal imbalances can lead to dry and dark lips. To
restore the softness and natural pink color of your lips to enhance your
beautiful smile, try a sugar scrub. Make a lip scrub with 2 teaspoons of sugar
and 1 teaspoon honey. Mix well and use it to gently scrub your lips for a
couple of minutes, once a week. This will help remove dead skin cells and leave
you with flake-free lips. To keep your lips moisturized, you can even massage
your lips with lukewarm olive or coconut oil once or twice daily.
Baking Soda to treat Yellow Teeth
Teeth and your face decide about your
outlook. For a bright smile, it is important to maintain beautiful, pearly
white teeth. Good oral hygiene plays a key role in keeping your teeth
sparkling white. However, hereditary factors, excessive consumption of tea or
coffee, excessive smoking and use of hard water can stain the teeth and make
them appear yellow in color. There are many teeth-whitening products in the
market or you can opt for a whitening treatment from your dentist. But these
options can be heavy on your pocket. No need to worry as there are some simple
and inexpensive natural teeth-whitening home remedies for a beautiful smile.
Simply mix ¼ teaspoon of baking soda with a small pea-size amount of your
toothpaste. Gently brush your teeth with it, once a week. The abrasive nature
of baking soda will help polish the surface of the teeth and remove the
stains. Make sure not to eat or drink anything after using this remedy. Another
good option is to rub fresh orange peel (the inside portion) over your teeth
every night before going to sleep for a week. There are bleaching compounds in
the peel that can reduce the yellow tinge on your teeth. Another tip is, mix
several teaspoons of baking soda with enough fresh lemon juice (or
water) to make a paste. Wipe your teeth and any extra saliva off of
them with a paper towel. Put a good amount of paste onto your toothbrush and
apply. Leave the paste on for 1 minute, then rinse, so as to avoid the acid
effecting enamel.
Baby Powder for Oily Hair
Oily hair not only looks neglected but
is also extremely unattractive. In addition, it is lifeless and more prone to
dandruff and itchiness. Minor oily hair issues can be easily corrected at
home with changes in your hair care routine and simple remedies. For
instance, you need to wash your hair more frequently and use only lukewarm
water, not hot water, for washing your hair. Hot water stimulates sebum
production, thus making your hair oiler than before. Also, avoid using a hair
brush as it will distribute the sebum all through your hair from the roots to
the ends. Instead, try combing your hair. On days when you can’t wash your limp
locks but need a quick fix, you can use baby powder or talcum
powder as an effective dry shampoo to help absorb the excess oil. Just put
some baby powder in your hands and rub it all through your hair. Then
brush your hair gently.

night partying, excessive stress, genetics, hormonal changes in the body, lack
of sleep, and so on. For this beauty problem, there are some simple and
straightforward remedies to try. Put a few metal spoons in the refrigerator for
15 minutes or until they are fully chilled. Hold the upper portion of the cold
spoon against your puffy eyes for 1 minute. Replace the now warm spoon with
another cold spoon. The cold temperature will help tighten up the skin around
your eyes and relax the blood vessels, thus helping to get rid of puffy eyes. Another
option is to chill your used green or black tea bags in the refrigerator
for 30 minutes. Put them over your closed eyelids for 10 minutes. Repeat a few
times. The anti-irritant properties in tea will help reduce swelling and
inflammation. This remedy will also help fade under eye dark circles. Another
cost-effective remedy for puffy eyes is to place thick slices of chilled
cucumbers your closed eyelids for 10 minutes, a few times a day. The astringent
nature of cucumbers helps reduce inflammation around your eyes.
Sugar Wax for Undesired Facial Hair
Unwanted facial hair is an embarrassing
beauty problem for many girls. However, you can get rid of your peach fuzz
with homemade sugar wax. Use it just the way you would use your regular hair
removal wax. Like the wax, this remedy will only help remove the unwanted hair
temporarily, not permanently. Mix together 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar, 1
teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of water. Heat the mixture in a microwave for
20 to 30 seconds until it turns brown. Allow it to cool. Using a spatula, apply
it on the areas where you want to remove the hair. Place a cloth strip over the
mixture and smooth it out in the direction of the hair growth. After a few
seconds, rip it off in the opposite direction of hair growth. Repeat as needed.

necessary, it gives a shiny look to the skin. Plus, oily skin is prone to acne
breakouts and blackheads. This problem most often affects women with
fluctuating hormones. To turn a greasy, shiny complexion into a
fresh-faced glow, you need to cleanse your face a few times daily with a gentle
cleanser. There are also some easy remedies to try. An egg white is one of the
most effective and inexpensive remedies for oily skin. It helps
absorb excess oil and also tones up oily skin. Whip 1 egg white
and apply it on your skin. Allow it to dry, then wash it off with warm water.

lemon in the whipped egg white before applying it to your face. Another simple
remedy is to rub half a tomato on your skin. Wait 15 minutes for the tomato
juice to do its work, then rinse it off with cold water. Use this remedy 2 or 3
times a week. The natural oil-absorbing acids in tomatoes help absorb the
excess oil.
