Face Remedies You Got to Try

"Beauty is not about mere appearances. True beauty comes from the inside. The more you show who you are, the more beautiful you will be." 

Our natural beauty is hidden under our skin. Due to our crazy lifestyle, our skin is exposed to harsh chemicals, pollutants, and the sun's rays beaming down onto us. The only way to bring out the natural glow from our skin is to love and nourish it. Some store products can get pretty expensive and the results don't always work. So why not, try out a few..or all of these home remedies. They aren't hard your wallet, instead they are soft on your face. 

Shrink Those Pores

Enlarged pores can get in the way when you are striving for smooth, glowing skin

Sugar Scrub Dub Dub

   - 1 tsp. lemon juice and orange juice (optional)

   - 1 tsp. honey

   - 1 tsp. olive oil

   - 1/2 tsp. of sugar

Mix all together and rub it on your face. Leave it on for 5 minutes and then wash it off with ice cold water. 

Egg-actly What You Need

   - 1 egg white without the yolk

   - 1 tsp. lemon juice

The egg whites will help tighten the skin and also shrink your pores. Mix the two together and then apply the paste onto the face evenly. Let it dry completely and then wash it off with lukewarm water. Finish it off with a splash of ice cold water!

Roses are Red, Cucumbers are Green

   - 1 cup of rose water

   - 1/2 cup of cucumber juice

   - 1 tsp. lemon juice

Mix together and apply to the face regularly. Your pores will shrink overtime. 

Bye to Blackheads

Those stubborn blackheads around the nose, chin, and forehead can be a confidence turn off

Egg Whites = Friends

Whisk 2 egg whites until it becomes a white, fluffy paste. Apply it on the areas where the stubborn blackheads are seen. Place a paper towel on top of the layer of paste and lightly press against it to smooth the paper out evenly for it to stick. Wait a few minutes for the egg white to dry, then add another layer onto the paper towel. Let it dry completely and then remove the napkin slowly. Wash your face with lukewarm water and then splash your face with cold water to finish it off.

~ Egg whites provide proteins that are capable to absorb the excess of sebum from the skin. It helps reduce the size of enlarged pores where blackheads are usually formed.

Looks Like Your Nail Polish Has a Little Secret

Your nail polish is a big part of you. It is always there for you on your fun first dates. It enjoys complimenting your outfits. When a heartbreak happens, it will be by your side to cheer you up. Your nail polish is practically your best friend.

And like any best friend, they have their secrets.. 

1) Handyman
Clear polish is not only used to provide that finish-off shine top to your nails. It can also be used to coat your inexpensive jewelry to prevent it from rusting!

2) The Color Polish You Choose Means a lot More to You Than You Think
It's not at random. Your color preferences usually links to your emotions or describes your personality.

3) Store Your Polish in the Fridge
Storing your polishes in the fridge increases it's life expectancy.

4) ALWAYS apply a Top and Base Coat
We understand it is extra the work but it pays off. Applying a base coat helps your polish from chipping. The top coat creates a shine that makes your polish's color pop more, and prevents it from getting stained.

5) The Darker the Polish Color, the Thinner the Coat
Darker polishes have higher pigmentation, which makes them chip off faster. Apply thinner coats when choosing darker polishes.

6) Some Polishes are Health Freaks Too
Not only does your nail polish make your fingers look pretty, they can also contain vitamins that keeps your nails moisturized and protected. Brands like #Nubar and #Caption, contains no harsh chemicals like Formaldehyde, Toluene, and Phthalate. Believe it or not, many people are allergic to Formaldehyde!

7) Vaseline Trick
Create the perfect polish overtime with out the messy mess-ups! Put Vaseline on your skin around the outline of your nails. Polish and then wipe off the mess-ups at the end!

3 HUGE Beauty Tips and Mistakes!

We, as women, all have so little time during the day but somehow we still manage to always..most of the time.. look like angelic creatures walking on the face of Earth. Men don't realize the extent of work we put into keeping our youthful beauty.. THEY SHOULD APPRECIATE US! One thing is, we don't do it for them though, we do it for ourselves. Keeping up with taking care of the only body that was given to us comes with a lot of work but it's what makes us angelic creatures. BECAUSE WE CAN DO IT. We are always up for challenges. 

Okay, okay. So maybe I am going a little too far with the empowering movement of women. We're just great ;) So here are some beauty tips that keeps us looking and feeling our best.

WASH YOUR HAIR THE RIGHT WAY!

Beauty comes with a series of rules, and bathing is no exception. We all do the typical routine of shampoo first, conditioner second. It's not wrong to do that, i'm not stopping you. BUT if you want that shiny bouncy hair look, IT IS TIME TO MIX IT UP! Did you know that conditioning before you shampoo will actually keep your ends healthier and it will also fill any holes in the cuticle with moisture to make them smoother and boosting with shine?

1) Start with rinsing your hair with very warm water until it is fully damp. The warm water will open the cuticle to help remove any dirt or product that is trapped in your hair.

2) Condition first, just do it! This will protect your fragile ends from drying out and causing further damage. 

3) Lather up your hair with shampoo BUT only at the scalp! The hair closest to your scalp are the ones that are the oiliest. The soap will naturally run down to the ends of your hair on it's own when you are rinsing off. 

For short or thin hair= a quarter-size amount of shampoo

For long or thick hair= double that

4) BE GENTLE when rinsing off with water! Start with lathering your roots to increase the blood flow to the scalp and stimulate hair growth with medium pressure and up and down strokes. Slowly move down towards the ends. 

5) Once the soap is fully washed off, add some conditioner towards the mid-length of tips. Clip your hair up while leaving the conditioner on and continue finish showering. 

6) FINISH OFF with cold water to close the cuticles tight, causing it to keep your hair from shedding off more and also sealing the outer layer to reflect the most light to give you the most shine!!

NAIL HACKS

1) To make your manicure last, apply a thin layer of clear nail polish every 2 days! Make sure to coat the edges, that's where they usually start to chip.

2) Use ice water to dry your nails after a brief air dry! The cold water will really set the color!

3) Annoyed with the messy polish on your skin when painting them? Line your nails with Vaseline before you paint and then wipe the mistakes off when done!

4) Prevent chipping by doing the double base coat method. Paint the base coat on the top portion of your nails only and then apply a second coat over your whole nail afterwards. 

5) Make your light or translucent colors pop more by applying white polish as your base!

6) Glitters are pretty but they are a pain in the butt to take off! Try soaking it off like you would with gel polish (dip a piece of cotton enough to cover your nail in acetone, press firmly on the nail and wrap in in foil). 

SKIN HABITS YOU NEED TO QUIT

1) I understand there's a hot guy at the gym that you have been dying to talk to but that make-up you have on honey, is going to destroy your face. Working out with make-up on can cause a huge build up of excess oil that will clog your pores! So while you a sweating, your pores are opening up. That's when the layer of make-up you have on, combined with the dirt and bacteria, those are the key ingredients to horrible breakouts! 

2) Stop picking your pimples! It can lead to scarring and end up turning into dark spots on your face. Touching your face in general is a NO-GO. The oils on your hands can be one of the many reasons why you just won't stop breaking out! 

3) Under no circumstances are you to sleep with your make-up on. It is very important to take care of your skin before you end your day with a beauty sleep. Always wash that layer of make-up you have on off and then wash your face with a daily cleanser to wash away that excess oil, dirt, and bacteria that can clog your pores. 

4) Avoid rubbing your eyes. They can lead to fine lines around your eye area. The surrounding skin area of your eye has the thinnest later on your face. That area is the first to show signs of aging. So avoid pulling your skin when applying make-up or contacts, or rubbing that area when removing make-up. Just be gentle to your skin.

5) Sleep with your face away from your pillow. The oil from your hair is trapped into your sheets and with you face planting into your pillow at night is just adding unwanted oils onto your face. Not only that, falling asleep on your pillow can cause unwanted fine lines and wrinkles.

6) Cure dried lips with lip balm, not salvia! Yes dry lips can be super comfortable, but licking or biting your lips is not the best solution. Your saliva is drying it more and is also taking away any natural moisture you have on your lips already.
