Natural Beauty Remedies

In the Feb. 2012 issue of Woman's Day were some great natural beauty remedies. I am going to list some here worth checking out.

Have a pimple? Take fresh mint leaves and pulsate them in a food processor with 1 tsp. of lemon juice. Cover for 15 minutes, then rinse, twice a day.

Cellulite?  2 Tbsp. used coffee grounds (not decaf) and 4 tsp olive oil. Combine them and make a paste and spread on your trouble areas in strokes upward. Massage in for 2 minutes and then rinse. Best to do this in the shower and be careful of the shower floor being slick after the oil washes off.

Yellowed nails? Pour some ginger ale into a bowl and soak your nails for 10 minutes twice a week and then rinse.

Dark circles under your eyes? One small handful of fresh parsley with 2 Tbsp. of plain yogurt and combine in a food processor. Pulse until a smooth paste. Apply mixture generously to your under eye areas for 20 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

Face scrub needed? Take 4 tsp. of baking soda and 1 Tbsp. of water and form a paste. Let sit for 2 minutes. Wet skin and then massage in a circular motions avoiding eye areas. Rinse after a couple of minutes with warm water and end with a splash of cold water to close your pores.

Dry skin patches? Cut a lemon in half and rub on the area and rinse afterwards. It doesn't give any precautions, but avoid your eyes pretty please :)
