There are different routes in achieving your beauty goals. Some prefer to go with the latest technology in serums, compounds, and beauty formulas. There are also those who prefer beauty products made from natural and organic ingredients. Regardless of the route you take you’ll never run out of options when it comes to beauty remedies. In fact, you can easily whip up your own beauty regimen right in your own kitchen. Here are some old school beauty remedies for those who want to take the natural route to beauty.
Old School Cleansing Routine. Relax and rejuvenate your skin with a quick deep cleanse using boiling water, lemon juice and rose petals. First, put lemon juice and rose petals in a bowl to create a pleasant aroma as you pour the boiling water in it. Then hold a towel over your head as you place your face over the bowl to get the steam all over your face. This will open your pores and help loosen blackheads and other skin impurities. After a few minutes you can start applying a gentle cleanser to totally remove blackheads and dirt on the skin. End routine by rinsing your skin with cool water to close pores.
Cleansing and Clarifying Face Mask. There are several old school beauty remedies for those who would like to have better looking skin. This can be as simple as applying fruit juice directly on the face for several minutes then rising it off afterwards, as in the case of a Watermelon Mask. But if you need to cleanse and also improve your skin tone then parsley is here to the rescue. This parsley cleansing mask is said to be good for cleansing, clearing acne and boosting circulation to address uneven skin tone. The Vitamin C in parsley also helps regulate melanin production and even skin tone. Simply grind a bunch of fresh parsley into a paste like mixture and apply evenly on the face. Leave for about 10 to 15 minutes then rinse with water.
Exfoliating Oats. Oats aren’t just good for your diet, they are also great for your skin. Just add a bit of water to crushed oats and you got yourself a 100% natural exfoliator. Simply rub the mixture lightly all over the face and neck to remove dead skin cells and reveal fresh and younger looking skin. However, pls. note that oats can also be allergens so don’t be too quick on slathering yourself with it. Another exfoliation alternative that you can try is a mixture of salt and olive oil. Simply mix a tablespoon of olive oil with a handful of soap then apply it on wet skin.
Moisturize and soothe with Aloe. When it comes to skin dryness and irritations, Aloe Vera is one of the reliable old school beauty remedies. Simply apply the gel like substance from the aloe plant directly to affected areas to instantly soothe dryness and irritation. It is also very effective in moisturizing skin which is why it is a popular ingredient in beauty products today.
