Cosmetics for making your own

facial

Before it begins: Before applying the mask, the pores of the skin should be opened so that the active ingredients can optimally penetrate the skin and regenerate it from the inside out. So either use in the warm bath or repeatedly press a very warm washcloth on the face.

Tip: When applying masks, always avoid eyes and lip area. The skin on the eyes is very sensitive and can be easily irritated. You should also avoid getting masks in the eyes. If that happens, flush eyes with plenty of water.

Banana for dry skin Crush a quarter of banana with a fork and stir in a teaspoon of sweet cream. Apply evenly to the face and leave for about 20 minutes. Then rinse off with plenty of water (preferably with the help of a soft sponge) and then apply moisturizer.

Healing earth for impure or oily skin Healing earth dries out the skin a bit and also has a very pleasant peeling effect. Mix two tablespoons of healing earth (available in pharmacies and health food shops) with four tablespoons of warm water and a teaspoon of olive oil and apply to the face. Rinse carefully with plenty of water after 20 minutes at the latest.

Sauer makes fun - quark and lemon against big pores Mix two tablespoons of cold skimmed quark with one teaspoon of lemon juice (freshly squeezed) and apply to the face. Let it work for 15 minutes and rinse with plenty of water. Not only does this mask refresh, the citric acid also causes the pores to contract. The result: a smoother complexion. Instead of the citric acid, you can also mix honey (two tablespoons, previously spread in a water bath) under the quark. This is a great alternative for sensitive skin that can be quickly irritated by the citric acid.

Tea for swollen eyes To counteract sensitive, swollen eyes, tea is a popular remedy. Simply cool two teabags of chamomile tea after brewing and place on the eyelids for 10 to 20 minutes. Chamomile calms down - not just the stomach. After a night of drinking black tea refreshes tired eyes again. Also brew two teabags, let cool and place on the eyelids.

Tip: Do not throw away the tea, but enjoy with a teaspoon of honey.

Potatoes for sunburn Stir a warm boiled potato with egg yolk. Gradually add a little milk, creating a creamy mask. Apply to cleansed face, leave on for up to 20 minutes and wash gently with plenty of water. Then cream the face with a rich moisturizer.

personal hygiene

Coffee peeling for soft skin Who would have thought that the annoying coffee grounds, which are usually thrown away carelessly in the morning, can be a real miracle cure for tired legs and cellulite? Gently heat a little olive oil in a small bowl in the microwave or on the stove. Add coffee grounds gradually, so that the exfoliation reaches a pleasant consistency. Distribute on the abdomen, legs and buttocks under the shower and rub off dead skin cells with circular movements. Wash well and cream after showering. An insider tip, not only for a softer skin. Because the caffeine contained in the coffee boosts the metabolism as well as the circulation and helps against small dents on thighs and buttocks. Tip: Place the peel of an untreated orange and an untreated lemon under the mass. The acid of the two citrus fruits is considered a miracle cure for small dents.

Very firm bosom friendship The pineapple is a pure vitamin bomb. The vitamins A, B and C in their fruit juice, enzymes, mineral salts and essential oils activate the metabolism and thus tighten the connective tissue. Simply massage the inside of a hollowed-out pineapple shell into the breast with gentle pressure.

Sustainable breast care Add five tablespoons of almond oil, three to four tablespoons of oatmeal, and one to two tablespoons of shelled, ground almonds to a thick cream. Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, this care will last for several weeks. Before use, remove about a tablespoon, mix with a teaspoon of milk and a few drops of rose oil and massage in circular motions.

After apple-butt follows apple-breast Put a slightly damp cloth in the fridge for about an hour. Finely grate untreated and peeled apples and lightly massage on the chest like a mask. Cover with a damp cloth and let soak in for about half an hour. Then clean the skin with plenty of water and cream.

hand care

Chamomile honey bath soothes brittle hands Boil about half a liter of chamomile tea and let cool to a lukewarm temperature. Mix with two tablespoons of honey and place in two small bowls. After about 15 to 20 minutes, take your hands out of the camomile bath. When drying with a terry towel, push the cuticle slightly backwards.

Oil bath makes dry hands tender Heat some almond oil (available at the pharmacy and health food store) and mix with two teaspoons of honey. Bath hands in it for five minutes. Then massage the oil well into hands and nails. Again, gently push the cuticles back with your fingers.

Tip: Make the chamomile honey bath or the almond oil bath just before going to bed and then cream your hands thick with your favorite hand care cream. Put on gloves and go to the land of dreams. The next morning your hands are velvety soft.

hair care

Oh, what a great hair! Stir a yolk with a little lemon juice and spread after washing in towel-dried hair. Rinse thoroughly after half an hour.

Please do not germ-free Moisten a larger towel a little and heat briefly in the microwave. Mix one tablespoon of wheat germ oil (or almond oil) with one egg yolk and spread in the washed hair. Wrap with the warm towel and leave on for up to two hours. Then wash hair thoroughly with shampoo.

Give the fat acid! The lemon is known for its degreasing effect. Squeeze out half a lemon and dilute the juice in half a liter of water. Rinse the washed hair with it. Then rinse again with cold water as much as possible.
