Look your best with natural beauty treatment
WHEN you have bad habits like sleeping late, eating unhealthily and not exercising regularly, it’ll be a matter of time before the ugly “evidence” shows up on your face. Give yourself a boost naturally so you look your best and stay healthy.
Here are some tips for a natural beauty treatment:
Get plenty of sleep and drink lots of water. Use eye creams with lightening botanical ingredients and capillary strengtheners like vitamin K.
Alternatively, use natural remedies like almond, cucumber juice, lemon and tomato.
Almond oil
Almond oil is an excellent natural emollient with moisturising properties that help soften the skin and leave it supple.
This product, commonly used as a carrier oil, is readily available from stores retailing health and aromatherapy products. Carefully rub a little into the skin around your eyes every morning and night.
Cucumber
Cucumber is a well-known quick fix for tired eyes because of its astringent properties. Extract the juice from a cucumber and cool it in the refrigerator for about an hour.
After blending a little lemon juice into it, use cotton pads to soak up the solution and place them on your eyes for 15 minutes. Wash thoroughly afterwards and moisturise the area around the eyes with a little almond oil. Tomato juice
Tomato juice is rich in iron and vitamins A and C, while lemon juice acts as a natural bleaching agent. Blend one teaspoon of fresh tomato juice, half a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice and less than a teaspoon of gram flour thoroughly to form a smooth paste.
Apply this paste on the dark circles and leave for about 10 minutes. Before it dries up, rub it off very gently and wash your face. Do this once daily the next few days.
