    Stay out of the midday sun as much as possible. the sun will age you. Do not tan or go to tanning beds whatever you do. Do not use a cleaner that will dry your skin, use a cleaner that moisturizes like Burt's Bees. Get an exfoliate. I sometimes scrub my face with a sea sponge. This will reduce fine lines and scrape away dead skin leaving your face looking naturally glowy.

    Cold, used tea bags (regular tea or green tea are best). Boil the kettle, stew the tea bag. Then run it under the cold tap and place it over your eyes for 10 minutes. The chemical tannin and the antioxidants in tea quickly replenish skin and make it look brighter.

    You can get incredible results massaging with essential oils. They feed and nourish skin with many beneficial health enhancing nutrients. Olive oil is excellent. Quickly revitalizes, makes skin softer, firmer and gives it a healthy glow . Will also rid it of many blemishes. For best and fastest results massage for a few minutes each day. You will find you do not need to exfoliate and will need very little other skin care. Oils are perfect natural moisturizers. You will need no other. Do not remove. Simply splash face with water and dab dry with tissues.

    soy protein is great for the skin. Creative ways to use edamame for skin health are easy to think of, if you have edamame and a blender. Go for it, and use natural and inexpensive skin treatments

    Your skin is amazing. It protects your body against injury and infections, helps maintain your body temperature, prevents dehydration and even acts as a storehouse for nutrients and water.Beautiful skin reflects our overall health and general well-being--and rightly so. The skin is the largest organ of the human body, renewing some of its cells every 24 hours.Proper skin care should start at an early age.

    To exfoliate dead skin cells rub a cut lemon dipped into a half-teaspoon of sugar over your face for a few minutes, or create a mild mixture by using lemon juice, sugar and a small amount of water. Do this every night to help remove accumulated dead skin cells and refresh your skin.

Pore shrinking mask recipes from home

A face with large open pores when seen from close quarters doesn’t look so good. While it’s quite common for oily skins to have a tendency towards open pores, an attack of pimples also leaves ugly scars and open pores behind.  Even though the scars may fade away after some time, open pores appear to be more obstinate and hardly show any signs of shrinking.  Age also takes its toll by giving an uneven/pigmented tone to the skin and making the open pores more prominent. Heredity could also be a contributing factor in determining your pore size. It’s not easy to get rid of these pores or shrink them completely or permanently using serums, lotions or face packs. Even resorting to drastic chemical/surgical procedures at the dermatologist’s isn’t quite capable of giving satisfactory results.  Nevertheless, you can try and minimize their appearance at least temporarily with clever makeup and a few natural skin care masks such as these: * Cleanse your face with a mild ...
