When you think of beauty tips and tricks, your bathroom medicine cabinet is probably the least likely place you look. However, what you find inside may surprise you. There are so many spa type treatments right in your own bathroom.
Look at your complexion, for example. Does it seem like a huge pimple always pops up when you have a big night out? Your skin could really be reacting to stress, in this case. You can visit a spa for an emergency facial. However, they can cost a lot of money. Spa facials can also take up a great deal of your time. Alternatively, you can put a dab of hydrocortisone cream (for rashes and poison ivy) to the pimple. By nightfall it will disappear substantially if you dab some cream on in the morning.
You don’t normally get any pimples? Don’t worry, there are medicine cabinet beauty tips for you too. You should try opening up some vitamin E capsules. Vitamin E can help those with cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer’s and sickle cell anemia. Vitamin E capsules, when cut open, can be an instant scar and wrinkle treatment. Vitamin E really is a great topical healer and its contained in nearly all proven anti-aging creams.
Are you in need of a gentle toner? Try using some distilled witch hazel. Most of the time, expensive over-the-counter toners can really dry out your skin and may even cause redness. If you dilute witch hazel with water, then apply it with a cotton ball, it will do the same thing and will be much gentler. If you have ever had hemorrhoids or laryngitis, you may have used witch hazel for either one. But it can also be used as a beauty treatment.
Naturally, you should test these treatments out before using them. When putting a new substance on your face, you must always be careful. Put a tiny dab on the inside of your wrist or elbow. You need to leave it there for about 24 hours. If you don’t see any redness or irritation, you are good to go.
Always be on the lookout for beauty bargains and tips in surprising places. The contents of your kitchen and bathroom could be very surprising. You can use these beauty tips to give yourself a spa experience any day you like in your own home.
