Effective Tips for Skincare

Walking down the skincare aisle at our local Walgreens, my wife was boggled by all the expensive face washes and creams, many of which that dry your skin out if you are looking for blemish relief or a pain relief cure for razor burn. However, not many people know that good skincare products are located right in their own kitchens and range from acne relief to cellulite removal.

Razor burn is an issue many of us suffer . There are a number of natural forms of pain relief for razor burn. Cold milk is useful when trying to calm freshly razed skin. Cold milk can be dabbed onto the skin using a cotton ball while you are still in the shower. Let the milk sit for three minutes, then rinse with cool water. If you may notice, the redness will disappear instantaneously. Of course, with rising dairy costs, milk may not be an option. Aloe Vera gel from the Aloe Vera plant also helps to calm freshly razed skin and moisturizes skin. If you are sunburned badly, Aloe Vera helps to heal skin.

A long time ago, when my wife’s grandmother was still alive, my wife learned that an egg yolk mask was great for conditioning skin and taking the redness out of blemishes. When used for twenty-five days, an egg yolk mask effectively helps to diminish acne breakouts just as well as Proactiv and Clean and Clear, but without the dry skin.

Another remedy that my girlfriend shared with me was that if you use a green tea teabag on skin blemishes, the redness and swelling is reduced considerably. Green tea bags are also great if you suffer from eye pain in the morning due to allergies. Just place the teabags over your eyes for ten minutes, and the puffiness and pain is alleviated.

Sugar and used coffee grounds are great for reducing cellulite. While taking a shower, take the sugar and coffee ground mixture and rub over cellulite prone areas gently. The antioxidants in the coffee grounds, along with the exfoliating ability of the sugar, help to generate blood and collagen flow to those areas, filling in dimples that cellulite causes. Sugar also works as an exfoliator, giving you smooth skin.

Skin care is related to your general health. The final step to clearing your skin and giving it that glow is to become informed about natural and safe health tips.
