Being in the economic slowdown doesn’t mean abandoning all beauty care. You just have to cut down on costs. Therefore, these totally natural, easy-to-get and affordable recommendations from the experts may be your answer to a quality treatment minus the cost.

§         Pineapple Rind Facial

This tasty local fruit actually contains  coenzymeQ10 and AHA’s (alpha hydroxy acids), ideal for anti-ageing treatment. As recommended by beauty experts, gently rub the rinds on your face, then leave on for 10-15 minutes and rinse out. It helps dissolve and dislodge dead skin cells, brighten the complexion, refine pores and even skin tone.

§         Homemade lip scrub

Dry hot weather and long hours in air-cond offices sometimes lead to dry, flaky lips. As a solution, you may try mixing grounded coffee with honey and apply to your lips, or gently rub cinnamon powder over moist lips. These 2 ingredients work well in exfoliating dry skin. Honey locks in moisture, while cinnamon improves blood circulation.

§         Lavender Milk Soak for Feet

As a spa owner has recommended, milk softens the skin’s surface and delicately reduces dull and devitalized skin while lavender oil has soothing and antiseptic properties. Now you can put that nearly-expired box of milk to use. Pour out a basin of milk and add in 3-6 drops of lavender essential oil, and enjoy the soak for 15-20 minutes.

§         Aloe Vera Anti-Frizz

Aside from healing burns and wounds, the aloe vera gel is also a natural, easily available anti-frizz. If you have the plant at home, cut out a few pieces of the leaf and use the gel in it as a hair-gel. Smooth it or comb it into your hair and leave it on. It will tame unruly curls or flyaways.

§         Exercise for the Healthy Glow

Don’t belittle the jog you take every evening in the park. Exercising is in fact the best way to bring out the radiant glow of your skin. Exercising helps you relax, enhances your blood circulation, and as you sweat it out, helps your skin get rid of toxins in your body.

§         Teabags for puffy eyes

This may not be new, but it certainly is effective as ever. This time around, you may try using green tea teabags. Refrigerate the teabags until your next use. The cool temperature actually enhances the teabags’ effect in shrinking puffy eye tissue.
