secret   top ten beauty remedies  #2: Watch Your Diet!

Our second  beauty remedies secret is simple but “nutritious”. These days keeping toxins out of our blood and organs in the body appears difficult. The primary reason is that, most of us dwell in a “sea” of chemicals and drugs. We are eating more and more refined foods. Now, if your main “goal” is healthy and beautiful skin, then it’s time for you to make a conscious effort to cleanse these dangerous substances out of your system and replace them with the finest nutrients.
The good news is that our body is constantly in a cleansing mode. It was created with the ability to drive out toxins as long as the energy necessary for it to function is supplied. The bottom line is: cleansing energy is more abundant when you supply your body with the nutritious foods. Note the word “nutritious”.

Nutrition plays a vital role in skin health too. Specific foods such as those acidic foods and dairy products are said to be potent in causing an allergic reaction in some people.
Quick homemade meals like soups, salads, sandwiches are healthier and cheaper than store bought brands. Why not make a fruit salad or take a banana as a healthy and vitamin packed beauty snack.

Some say that eating chocolate does affect the condition of the skin, while others say it doesn’t. I believe ‘a little of what you fancy does you good’ providing you are not allergic! My recommendation is just to follow a nutritious diet that has a number of fresh fruits and green-leafy veggies, as well as fibre.

top ten beauty remedies -exfoliate

 top ten beauty remedies secrets #3:Exfoliate!

Exfoliating is another great way to attain beautiful skin. Try to invest in a good body exfoliant like a “loofah”. Using a loofah regularly, gently massaging your body can easily eliminate the dead skin cells without damaging the delicate surface of the skin. Accordingly, this should be done once or twice a week to free the skin to breathe.

Exfoliating is a simple but effective and great beauty tip that can also help to prevent ingrown hair from developing. However, it is necessary to avoid using your loofah on the face. The main reason for this precaution is that the facial tissue is more sensitive and finer than those tissues of the body.

 top ten beauty remedies  #4:Cleanse!

 Cleansing your face regularly is the fourth of our secret beauty tips. Forget about all those expensive preservative packed pricey packaging (excuse the alliteration)… stick to natural easy to use cleansers.

My favourite cleanser is camomile. Simply pop around three to four camomile flowers (you can buy these dried from most herbalist or health food shops) in a tea cup and add boiling water. Leave to stand for about an hour, strain and bottle. It will last for up to ten days if you keep it in the refrigerator.
A simple beauty tips secret is to use your empty herb or spice bottles. You can recycle these. They make great containers as they have two sides on the cap for dispensing the herbs.

Use sweeping but gentle movements from the nose out toward your ears until clean. When cleaning, remember the area on the neck and under your chin.

Before going to bed at night, always keep in mind to remove all make up. Cleanse your face before you sleep, no matter how tired you’re feeling. During the night, the skin goes through a natural purging process and cannot breathe properly if it is clogged with makeup. Sleeping with your make up on is a breeding ground for spots zits and acne.

top ten beauty remedies -feet treats

 top ten beauty remedies secrets #5:Feet Treats!

 Don’t neglect your feet! If you lack time or cash for a professional pedicure, try this beauty tip secret. Fill a basin with warm water and add your favourite essential oil. Soak your feet for about fifteen minutes.
Use a pumice stone to scrub away dry, peeling, or rough skin. Rinse off and dry your feet well ( don’t forget between your toes). Moisturize with olive oil or your chosen cream. Lemon juice is a great way to bleach dark marks and soften your skin.

top ten beauty remedies -feet treats – sun fortification

 top ten beauty remedies secret #6:Sun Fortification!

 The sun can be our best friend or worst enemy! Without it we suffer from depression or SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), sometimes called winter blues. Prolonged exposure without protection can cause anything from sun stroke to melanoma (cancer of the skin).
Take care to cover up and avoid spending too much time in the heat without protection.

Use a wide brimmed hat and sun protection. Remember most sunblock’s only block out the UVB rays and still let in harmful UVA rays, cover up before venturing into the sun.

  top ten beauty remedies #7 Exercise!

Exercise and nutrition are the pillars of good health. They are joined together in such a way that you really cannot be truly healthy by ignoring one or the other. Nutrition feeds your body and exercise keeps it healthy and strong. 

Why not take up a new exercise like yoga, dancing or horse riding. When you exercise on a regular basis you will also cut down stress and tension, which are two of the biggest factors contributing to great skin and overall health.

top ten beauty remedies – rest

  top ten beauty remedies secret #8 Rest!

Getting enough sleep actually improves metabolism. People who are constantly sleep deprived find that they have less energy to do regular daily activities, including digestion.

Lack of sleep can create stress and vice versa. When you’re stressed, the adrenal cortex converts adrenal androgens to the hormone testosterone in men and women, which in turn results in over-active sebaceous glands. These adrenal androgens releases double amounts of testosterone. This increases the oil on the face; while other areas of the body remain dry. Taking proper rest… is number eight in our secret beauty tips list. Around 6 to 8 hours of undisturbed sleep daily is the best way to rejuvenate the skin.

top ten beauty remedies – clean hair

 top ten beauty remedies #9 Clean Hair!

Keeping your hair clean and away from your face even for a few hours each day is another of our secret beauty tips. This is a simple yet effective beauty tips secret that will help to prevent spots from forming on the forehead, especially if you are prone to oily hair.

Sometimes oily deposits on the hair can be transferred to the skin which might cause the skin to develop blackheads, whiteheads or spots… which may in turn lead to acne. Remember to wash and condition your hair regularly!
Using a variety of home made shampoos and conditioners will leave your hair soft and manageable. If you have any great recipes we’d love to hear from you. Just use the comments box or send them to us at contact@beautonex.com
