BEAUTY TIPS
Feed Your Skin Right And Get The Result You Always Wanted

Your skin needs the same nourishment that all other organs of your body do, like protein, minerals, carbohydrates, vitamins and micro elements. Ideally you should get some protein, carbohydrates and fat with every meal. Be careful when you are following a diet that focused only on one kind of nourishment.
Protein is important for creating new cells and starts biochemical processes in your body. You can get protein from meat, milk and soy beans.
Carbohydrates are a source of energy for your cells. Do not get 'empty' calories from sugar, pasta, rice, potatoes, white bread or sweets. These foods will increase insulin level in your blood that will likely cause acne. Instead eat whole grains and brown rice.
Fat provides energy to your skin and helps to assimilate some vitamins, like vitamin A. Your body also needs fat to create new cells. There is especially valuable fat in cold pressed vegetable oils.
You will have dry and rough skin if you do not get enough vitamin A. It is so important for your skin because it helps to form new cells in the epidermis. And beta-carotene helps your skin to endure the ultraviolet rays of the sun. Even if you are following a diet, eat avocados, nuts and add olive oil to your salads.
Vitamin C takes part in the synthesis of collagen in your skin and fights free radicals that speed up your aging. Smokers need to get at least 40% more of vitamin C that non smokers.
Vitamin E helps to neutralize free radicals and is good for your skin even if you use it topically. Vegetable oils, egg yolk, soy products and whole grains are rich in this vitamin.
If you want to have youthful skin and healthy shiny hair, you need a very important vitamin F. You can get it from cold pressed vegetable oils.
Sodium and potassium are responsible for skin resiliency.
You will have dry skin and weak nails, if you do not get enough iron.
Selenium neutralizes free radicals; especially if you take it together with vitamin E.
Phosphorus is important for providing energy to your skin cells.
Zinc is important for protein metabolism.
Magnesium supports cell permeability.
Copper helps with the formation of collagen in your skin.
If you have wrinkles or acne, you should get essential fatty acids Omega-3 and Omega-6. These fatty acids will decrease inflammatory processes that can lead to acne and premature aging. To get these valuable acids eat salmon, tuna, mackerel, almonds, filbert and flax seeds.
If your face gets red often and regularly, exclude spices, red wine and smoked meat. These foods enlarge blood capillaries.

Facial Massage With Sterling Silver Spoons

Prepare different kinds of herbal tea at different temperatures. Dip sterling silver spoons in the tea and slightly tap your face following the massage lines. Do it regularly.  The effect will be amazing!
Are you going out tonight, but look tired?
 Here is your beauty plan. It will take about 1 hour.

Pour water in a large pot and boil it with chamomile tea or  flowers for a few minutes, then cover the pot with a towel and let it cool for  20-30 min. At the same time prepare  peppermint herbal tea, then take a shower where you  alternate hot  and cold water.
Next step. Clean your face with a piece of cotton wet in yogurt. In 1-2  min clean your face with a piece of cotton wet in hot water and apply rich moisturizer.
Hold both ends of a towel and put the middle of the towel into hot water with chamomile that you prepared, squeeze it and apply on your face starting from your chin, then your cheeks and your eyes and your forehead. Leave a hole for your nose and connect both ends of the towel. Keep the compress until it cools down. Repeat it 2-3 times, adding a little bit more of your moisturizer each time. Also apply some eye cream on your eyes.
At the end apply a cold compress on your face or use herbal ice ( frozen herbal tea ) to rub your face. Rinse your face with water mixed with some lemon juice.
Rub your face again with a piece of ice. Apply some moisturizer on your wet face and neck  tapping your skin lightly. Your skin will become pink and resilient.
Drink your fresh peppermint tea with 1-2 spoons of honey and a piece of lemon.
Feel rested and beautiful.
Natural Beauty Product - Red Wine And Strawberry Face Wash



The benefits of red wine are believed to be due to the high level of antixodants present in red wine (which is significantly higher than white wine) as well as naturally occurring chemicals which are derived from the skin of the grapes.
Strawberries are rich in ascorbic and folic acids, carotin, and the following organic acids: apple acid, salicil acid, lemon acid and quinine acid. They are also rich in  phytoncids, iron, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and cobalt.

Using red wine and strawberries on your skin will make your skin baby-soft, effectively dry out spots, make your skin tone even and tighten pores over night.
Beauty Remedies
If you have dark circles, try these remedies:
Do not throw away tea bags after using them. Let them cool, squeeze a little bit and put a tea bag on each eye for 15 min. Do it for 7-14 days. You will love the result! You can also do it at the same time when you do your facial masks.
Grate 1 potato and apply it on your eye area for 10-15 min. If it is very juicy, add some flour.

For tired red eyes or inflamed lids prepare chamomile tea: put 2 tea spoons of chamomile in a glass, add boiling water, let it sit for 10-15 min and filter it. Wash your eyes in this tea or wet a piece of cotton in it and apply on each ( closed )  eye for 3-5 min.

If your eyes are so sensitive and watery that it is even a problem to use cosmetics, get dill seeds, put 1 tea spoon of dill seeds in 1/2 glass of boiling water, let it cool and apply compresses on each eye for 15-20 min. Do it for 2 weeks every day, then once a month and you will never have this problem again.

If you've got skin discoloration after being out in the sun ( I do not mean sun  tan), prepare this mixture: 1 tbl spoon of lemon juice + 1 tbl spoon of vinegar + 2 tea spoons of boiled water. If your skin is very dry, add 1 tea spoon of vegetable oil. Rub this mixture into your skin 2-3 times a day.

If you occasionally get pigmented spots on your face, pour some water on a piece of rye bread every night, leave it till next morning and rub your skin with the bread, then leave it for 2-3 min. Rinse your face with water.

 If your feet sweat a lot, have a foot bath with chamomile 2-3  times a week. Mix 6 tbl spoons of chamomile flowers with 1/2  gallon of boiling water, let it sit for 1 hour and filter it. Heat it again  before using.      

If you have cellulite or stretch marks, rub apple vinegar into your skin. This is a  very effective remedy.
