Strange Home Beauty Remedies

So, I've been asked to share some home beauty remidies. You asked for it and you got it!

Have you ever seen the slightly off the wall lady on the Ellen show who is always mixing up home beauty treatments, and covering herself in them on TV? She is actually full of some pretty great ideas for making you bathing suit ready with items you have at home or can pick up at the grocery store (Kym Douglas is her name, Google her)!

Here are some of my favorites:

Almond Peach Edible Face Mask- Perfect for freshening summer skin!

½ cucumber

1 tbsp plain yogurt

½ cup sliced peaches

1 tbsp almonds

1 tbsp honey

Blend all together and cover face for 15-20 minutes, wash off with a damp warm cloth.

Has the summer heat taken a toll on your hair, leaving it dry? Have you thought of syrup for your dry ends?

Massage ½ cup of syrup (regular old syrup) into the scalp and ends and then cover your head in plastic wrap for 25 minutes to seal in the moisture. Much less expensive then the hair masks available out there!

Alright, so I have kept it pretty tame so far, I know, boring! Now, when I think of summer beauty I think of exposing those slightly pale areas that stay hidden all winter, and because they are pale I feel like they are illuminating their flaws! What happened to the knee to chin bodysuit style bathing suits anyway?

Looking to firm your chest? Who isn’t? So, if you are looking to forgo walking to the drugstore counter with breast firming cream (although I do love making awkward eye contact with the 15 year old boy who is ringing me in blushing and smiling equally as awkwardly back at me) I’ve got you covered!

1 tsp of vitamin E oil

1 tbs of plain yogurt

1 tbs honey

1 egg

Massage and cover (your chest region) and then cover up with an old bra for 25 minutes.

I would also recommend showering afterwards!

Need a bum lift? No problem!

Take any face firming mask you have at home already, and mix a small amount with a small amount of this mornings left over coffee grinds. The caffeine gives you a lift and the firming mask does just that firms!

Remember, after you have a nice cup of tea ring out the tea bag and let it cool to place on your dark under eye circles, you’ll be a new woman (or man)!

Hit the pool or the beach with confidence this summer (just remember to wash the coffee grinds off your bum first)!

Enjoy and have fun!
