Are you thoroughly confused by a barrage of advertising from companies selling beauty products? Each of them promises you beauty and youth and you just don't know which one to believe. And even if you do want to buy some beauty products they are prohibitively expensive. The dilemma you face is that you can't entirely avoid beauty products, yet you require ones that will certainly work and be inexpensive as well. The irony is that you will find a solution to most of your beauty problems right in your kitchen. Look back to a time when there wasn't such a profusion of beauty companies. What did women do during those days? They made the most of the natural ingredients that were available locally.
The first of these natural beauty products are fruits. Available in all their seasonal abundance, fruits are a fantastic source of enzymes and anti-oxidants. You can eat them or you can apply them to your skin in very nourishing facepacks. You will see an almost immediate result if you apply a fresh fruit facepack. Mash a mixture of strawberries and bananas with the back of a spoon. Squeeze a few drops of fresh orange juice into this mixture and apply it to your face. Relax for twenty or thirty minutes and then wash it off. You will be amazed at the fresh glowing skin it will give you. A facepack of mashed tomatoes is rich in hydroxy acids and removes the top layer of dead skin to leave newer youthful looking skin. Add a lot of fruit to your diet, both whole or in fresh juices or smoothies. Your improved health will give you a marked improvement in your skin tone.
You may think that oats are one of the most unlikely beauty products, but they have tremendous uses. Take normal oats, not the quick cooking variety, and mix with milk to form a paste. Apply this paste to your face and keep it on for two or three minutes only. Gently rub the pack away with a damp towel to exfoliate your face. Don't let it dry too much and be gentle as you don't want to damage your skin. You could also use yogurt to improve your complexion. Get the natural variety, not a flavored one. Apply it to your face for ten minutes and then wash it away for an instant pick-me-up. Find ways to add it to your diet. Yogurt contains lactobacillus bacteria that improve your digestion thereby improving your health and also your looks. The best thing about kitchen beauty products are that you can treat yourself to a quick beauty treatment without having to step out of your house. It goes without saying that you save plenty of money this way. When you are responsible for your own beauty treatment the natural way, you learn to treat your body well, both on the outside and the inside. This will reflect in your healthy hair, bright eyes and luminescent skin.
