Iata cateva tratamente anti-celulita pe care le poti face acasa: Impachetari pe baza de plante Ai nevoie de: 1 pahar de ulei de porumb jumatate de pahar de suc de grepfrut 2 lingurite de cimbru Amesteca-le si foloseste lotiunea pentru a te masa in zonele afectate de celulita (de regula, solduri, a coapse si fund). Poti folosi o lufa, dar si masajul cu palma va avea efect. Acopera apoi zonele cu o folie de plastic, pentru a pastra caldura corpului si a intensifica efectul anti-celulitic. Crema anti-celulita cu lamaie si miere Ai nevoie de: o jumatate de lamaie 5 lingurite de miere 2 lingurite de sare (de preferat, sare de mare)

Stoarce lamaia si adauga in sucul de lamaie mierea si sarea pana cand continutul se omogenizeaza. Aplica-l in zonele problematice si lasa-l sa actioneze timp de 15 minute. Reteta este ideala pentru catifelarea pielii, imbunatirea circulatiei sangelui si eliminarea excesului de apa. Reteta anti-celulita cu uleiuri esentiale Ai nevoie de: 5 picaturi de ulei de lavanda 100 de grame de argila 1 lingura de aloe vera Uleiul de lavanda si aloe vera se gasesc la Plafar. Amesteca cele trei ingrediente si se aplica-le in zonele afectate de celulita. Lasa-le sa actioneze pe piele timp de 10 minute. Reteta japoneza Este o reteta pe baza de ghimbir, un ingredient care imbunatateste circulatia sangelui si a oxigenului, avand efecte benefice asupra pielii.

Doar aplicand creme anti-celulita nu vei rezolva nimic. Trebuie sa lupti pe trei planuri: alimentatie, miscare si tratamente impotriva celulitei. Este esential sa bei minim doi litri de apa pe zi, pentru a elimina excesul de sodiu (care determina retinerea de lichide) si sa faci cel putin 30 de minute de miscare pe zi, fie chiar si mers pe jos.

DIY PEEL-OFF MASK --BLACKHEAD REMOVAL

Today I am going to show you how to make a peel-off mask at home. This is a multipurpose mask which helps in1. Whitening your complexion instantly (GLOWING) 2. Removes Blackheads 3. Deep Cleanses 4. Tightens your skin/pores 5. Controls oiliness. You could call this the cheapest mask ever because you need only the white of an egg. You, your mom as well as your sister etc can get this beautifying treatment from 1 egg's white. Ooohh you also need tissue paper for the mask- gawwd I forgot about it.

Take the white of an egg is a small bowl and beat it slightly. Now using a face pack brush apply the egg white on your face and neck, avoiding the eye and mouth area. Take athin tissue and cut out holes for your mouth, eyes and nose. Place it gently over your egg white brushed face, pat gently. Or you could tear the tissue into small pieces and place on your face one by one to cover fully. Now apply another layer of egg white over tissue and leave it on to dry. When completely dry, gently peel-off the tissue or tissue pieces in anupward direction from the face. Check out all the blackheads on the tissue...yuck. Wash off with tepid water and apply a mild moisturiser. Now I am updating this post to clear up many doubts of many anonymous readers. So I have come up with these points to remember for all my readers: * Donot use gift wrapping tissues, Use the ones that you would generally use to blow your nose * Take off the mask after its completely dry by peeling it from downwards to upwards direction * Please be patient because it takes time to dry off completely * Use only fresh/raw eggs * For oily skin use twice in a week and for dry skin use once in a week or twice in 10 days * The drying time depends on the season/weather/environment. in summers it would dry soon enough (15 mins maybe), in winters (25-30 mins maybe) and in airconditioned environment is takes a little more time to dry Hope this extra tips clear your doubts. Thank you :)

FACIAL FOR AN INSTANT GLOW AND FAIRNESS

We all love to have a glowing skin, specially for important functions like parties, marriages, festival etc. If you are serious about the glow and fairness try out this mini facial. * Start off by cleansing your face and neck with a cleansing lotion and cotton balls. * Mix together 1 tbspn milk, 1tspn almond (powdered), 1 tspn chironji/ Buchananialanzan (powdered) and a generous pinch of saffron (kesar). Now massage your face and neck with this paste for 10 mins.

* If you have blackheads, then steam your face for 2 mins and remove by pressing gently. Better to take professional help for blackhead removal. * Now massage face with an ice cube for few seconds to close the pores and tighten the skin. * Make a face pack by mixing together- 2 tspn kaolin, 2 tspn sandalwood powder, a handful of rose petals (made into a paste) and 1 tspn butter. Apply all over face and neck and leave on for atleast 10 mins. You can also add a little cucumber juice if you wish to. * Wash off and see your skin glow like gold. You can do this facial whenever you need a special treatment for a special occasion. But avoid doing it more than once a week. This is my secret glow facial hope you all like it. Do you also have any skin glow secrets to share with us?

To use egg yolks as a mask, simply break up the yolks with a fork and spread over your face and neck. Leave to dry and then rinse off with cool water. Egg Yolk Shampoo

Whisk a few egg yolks and apply them to your hair and scalp, combing through in order to achieve full coverage. Leave the yolks for a few minutes, then rinse out using cold water so you dont cook the egg.

HOW TO PORE STRIPS

Pore Strips Ingredients: 1 Tablespoon Unflavored Gelatin 1 1/2- 2 Tablespoons Milk {any kind} Dudes, 2 ingredients and your pores will look like magic. Whats not to love?

1. Measure 1 Tablespoon of unflavored gelatin into a disposable container {if you put say, green jello on your face, there might be trouble} 2. Add 1-2 Tablespoons of milk into the gelatin 3. Until it looks like this 4. Mix it up, and be quick about it, until you get a chunky consistency. Add more milk if youre uncomfortable with the amount of chunk. Microwave the gelatin for about 10-15 seconds. It will get creamier in the microwave. Stir that around and start applying it IMMEDIATELY to your face. This stuff hardens up fast so youve got to act fast.

This is pre-pore strip. Wash your face before you apply.

// // I chose to put the stuff all over my face because I have thirty-year-old acne. You can put it wherever your little heart desires. You need to act fast though, because this stuff turns to gelatin pronto. I know Ive said that three times already, but I really mean it.

Smokin. Let it dry for about 15+ minutes. I waited longer, but youll know its time when you cant talk for fear of breaking something.

Grab whatever you can and start peeling. This is the gross/fun part.

Its a good thing you cant see the photo all that well. Do this until youre all peeled and your face will feel like a babys bottom. Clean, practically hairless, with clean, dirt-free pores.

Masks should stay on for 10-15 minutes. I love washing masks off with a steaming hot washcloth. Run the washcloth under hot water, squeeze out the excess water and then press to your face for a minute. Then, gently wash off the mask in a circular motion. Check out my Basic At-Home Facial to get the full benefit of these facial masks.

To test if you have oily skin, press a paper napkin to your forehead. When you pull it away, it should be soaked in oils. While you may find this annoying, the good thing about oily skin is it ages better than dry skin. That's something to celebrate! Find out more about your skin type in What Type of Skin Do You Have?.

My Favorite Vanilla Brown Sugar Body Scrub {for Mom}

I have another homemade scrub to share today as part of the 'Pro Projects for Mom' series. If you have missed the previous three projects for easy and quick Mother's Day treats you can find the links at the end of this post.

This is my favorite body scrub. {not just because it is yummy Brown Sugar and Vanilla either} It's the perfect exfoliate for your heels, knees and elbows and great for your tan legs in the summer time too.

You want to begin by mixing 2 Cups of Brown Sugar and 1 Cup of Granulated Sugar together until there are no lumps. Add in 1 Cup of Sunflower Oil and 1 Tablespoon of Pure Vanilla Extract. {I like to use Sunflower Oil for this body scrub because it does not carry the strong scent that Olive Oil does}

Mix together well and scoop into a sealable glass container.

I purchased a few of these vinyl decals at Joanne Fabrics a few weeks ago at 70% off. {and my nearby store still has a ton left} I got this 4 1/2 X 4 1/2 decal for just 30 cents. The scoops were purchased from Walmart - you can find them in the kitchen utensil section and they run about $2.00 for a set of three. Super cute just to have around for party scoops!

I be sharing one more Project for Mom tomorrow then I'll be back to some home decor. I have some exciting things I'm working on for The DIY Club that starts this Friday. {I can't wait to share} Below are the other Projects for Mom that have been posted that last couple days {click on each picture for the tutorials} Enjoy!

Lemon Sugar Hand Scrub {for Mom}

We all have them {well at least I do}; poor, exhaust ed, DIY doing, spray painting extraordinaire, crafters hands. I have been using this simple mix for a few years and it is the best recipe to rejuvenate your skin and bring your fingertips back to life. The sugar is an excellent exfoliate to remove the craft leftovers from your nail beds and cuticles too! It takes only minutes to mix and you most likely have all the necessary ingredients sitting right in your pantry.

Packaged up just right this makes another inexpensive Mother's Day gift; a perfect addition to tuck in a little gift basket.

Begin my mixing 2 1/2 Cups of Sugar with 1 Cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Add in 4 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice {or scented essential oils to your liking}. This mixture will make enough to fill a 12oz. Mason Jar {and you'll have just enough left over to clean your hands afterwards too}

Mix really well until a gritty paste forms and spoon into a glass container. {make sure your container has a lid that seals}

I have to say I love this mix and use it all the time. After sitting for awhile you may need to mix prior to using as the sugar may settle. A tiny bit is all you need and it leaves your skin extra soft and smooth. {plus not to mention it scrubs away all craft evidence so my hands do not look like a mechanics out in public}Enjoy!

photo @ africa Every girl wants to be pretty, but it can be difficult using tons of masks, lotions and just a load of products. It can break your bank and expose you to unnecessary amounts of chemicals. I believe in keeping it simple and cheap. No need to go shopping at Macys, Bare Minerals or any of other stores. Just head to the grocery store with a $20 bill to get the same effect. Ive compiled a few beauty recipes below, but there are a plethora more that are just a search engine click away. (Be sure to check out more natural beauty recipes here as well coffee beauty and beer beauty recipes, too!)

1.) Brown Sugar and Honey Facial Scrub This is probably my favorite one. Brown sugar exfoliates the skin ridding the pores of all dirt, oil and dead skin cells causing blemishes. Honey is naturally antibacterial, so as the brown sugar scrubs away the things clogging pores, the honey cleans out the sources of the buildup to prevent future breakouts.

2.) Coffee Grounds in Conditioner HAIR This one is really simple. Instead of throwing old coffee grounds away, toss them into your conditioner to make your hair extra shiny. Thats all it takes!

3.) Replace Conditioner with Vinegar To get rid of the usual problems with hair: build up, dullness and just lackluster, replace your conditioner with vinegar 1-4 times a month, depending on your hair type. Just use it as you need it. And, dont worry about buying the best stuff for the best results, common white vinegar will do the trick as well as any other vinegar.

4.) Olive Oil as Hair Moisturizer Its easy to see how oil can moisturize your hair. Its simple to use as well. Simply cover your hair in olive oil and leave it in for 30-45 minutes. You can also wrap it in plastic wrap to keep it from dripping. Some also believe it enhances the effect.

5.) Lemon and Egg Facial Have red s on your face? Soothe both symptoms away easily by mixing together one egg yolk and the juice of one lemon into a paste. Cover your face with it and leave it on overnight. If this seems like too much work, leave it on your face for an hour. You might not get the optimal results with this amount of time, but you will see a difference.

6.) Replace Conditioner with Baking Soda Want to be more like a guy and only use one thing to clean your hair? Then just add baking soda to your shampoo. It will remove build up and make hair shinier. And to make it even better, you can use it everyday (if you have normal hair).

7.) Degrease Oily Hair With Lemons and Aloe Mix together 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon aloe vera. Mix the mixture in with a normal serving of shampoo. It will get rid of your oiliness in your hair with one shower.

8.) Smooth Fizzy Hair With Honey Add a tablespoon of honey to a liter of water. After shampooing, rinse your hair with this concoction to tame your frizz.

9.) Replace Face Wash With Skim Milk Powder Switching face wash out with skim milk powder can make your face much softer and give you a smoother complexion. Its also very gentle, so even the most sensitive can use it.

10.) Moisturize Skin With Honey and Olive Oil Honey holds moisture extremely well and olive oil hydrates well, too. Mix equal parts of olive oil and honey (and add a dash of lemon juice if youd like) to create a pasty lotion. Rub it onto the dry skin and let it sit for 10-20 minutes. Your skin will be hydrated for plenty of time to come afterwards.

11.) Soften Skin With Oatmeal There are many concoctions and mask recipes that involve oatmeal, but you can use oatmeal by itself to help your skin. Ground up about 1 cup of oatmeal using a blender or coffee grinder, and add it to bath water to soften skin to baby-like quality.

12.) Treat Chlorine-Damaged Hair Mix together 1 egg, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1/4 cup of a peeled cucumber. Cover you hair with the mixture and leave it on for 10-20 minutes. Youll see your hair return to normal almost immediately.
