Do You Scrub?

Posted by: liza on June 30th, 2010 in beauty tips

I do. I’m actually using a sea-salt scrub mixed with milk. Pretty interesting, huh? Well, you don’t need to have a bath tub to do this. Our skin needs exfoliation and scrubbing helps a lot to remove that dead skin to release our natural glow. I don’t scrub everyday as it may lead my skin to dryness. I don’t also scrub when I know that I have to go out and be exposed under the sun.

I bought my sea-salt scrub from the grocery for 100 Pesos. It’s a 200 ML bottle filled with salt mixed with milk. I’d say that it’s pretty cheap but I’m wrong. Only after I bought it, I realized that the ingredients of this scrub is in our kitchen. So I just thought that this would be my first and last time to buy my salt scrub from the market.

There are actually different ingredients for scrubs. As for me, my favorite is the sea-salt scrub with milk as it can effectively remove my dead skin at the same time makes my skin smooth. If you are planning to buy one like what I did, please take a look at these steps first on how to make your very own salt scrubs at fraction of the cost sold in the market.

Ingredients:

1 cup Sea salt

1/2 cup oil

essential oils/milk

How to make your own salt scrub?

Add the oil on sea salt, mixing it with a spoon or wooden stick in a bowl. The mix should be moist enough to hold together. Drop essential oils of your choice or milk. Make sure that you do not over oily the mix. Then put in a jar or container with lid for storage and it’s ready to use.

Remember that you can always choose your essential oils.

lavender – to make you feel relax.

lemongrass – to refresh you

rosemary – to stimulate you.

Is that easy? Remember, not all beauty products should be bought from the grocery.  More often than not, we are just paying for the brand name. Sometimes, we just need to visit and explore our kitchen, extend our horizons to see the available products that we can use in keeping our skin smooth and healthy. =P

How to Get Rid of Double Chin?

Posted by: liza on April 22nd, 2010 in beauty tips

Admit it, not all obese or heavy weight individuals have double chins. Sometimes, it can be also seen in  slim and sexy men and women. According to Wikipedia, “a double chin is a subcutaneous fat around the neck that sags down and creates a wrinkle, making the owner appear to have a second chin.” While it is commonly seen in obese or elderly, we can’t still deny the fact that there are some people (slim and young) who gain a “second chin” with the kind of lifestyle they have.

There are many known ways to get rid of double chins but I will no’t talk about them in this post. I know that this is not something new but I think worth to post for individuals who don’t know this simple gadget and want to remove their double  chin while watching, traveling or simply relaxing.

We all know that facial exercises are very crucial if we want to achieve a good looking one-chin. And a facial roller can help you with that.  I first saw this tool while watching PBB and I got really interested. So I started looking for it and luckily I found it from Divisoria. I bought this for just 40 Pesos last December and I’m now enjoying its results. =) I took a shot of the package.

The package says that it can modify your face contour line ~ reducing double chin, large neck and face edema.  Using this beauty tool is very easy.

  • Massage the face sides by your hand comfortably.
  • Hold the handle gently, roll the wheels on the face from the chin to jowl, and force it in a way as you draw it upwards, and you can feel the sense of  extrusion.

Just some notes:

  • Each massage time should be around 10 minutes.
  • Use it on the clean skin after washing
  • While you massage the face, at the same time you can also massage the neck.
  • The result is gradual so you have to be patient.

P.S. I was not paid to write or promote this product. I tried this tool and seen great results so I decided to write a post about it.

Girls are very passionate about their look and skin.  Thus, they prefer to buy beauty products that don’t have harmful effects on the skin.  However, more than its effect on the skin, the brands and how such make ups will look on their face usually matters more.  Today, I found two interesting brands that offer these three benefits on a woman’s skin and look – effective, trusted brand name and safe to use. Avon and Revlon are two known brands trusted by women all over the world when it comes to protecting the skin in using make-ups without losing  the glow.

Both Avon and Revlon websites offer a way to see if their new colors/products will look good on your face virtually. Given the fact that these two brands have make up ingredients that are not harmful on the skin, you only have to worry about the color that will blend your face.  The convenience of this try-out is readily available as long as you are connected in the Internet. It can also take out the hassle of mix and matching colors and removing them when you don’t like it.  Through this virtual make over, you can upload your own picture, try some colors on and then erase it when you’re not satisfied. This is also an interesting way to convince you that such color will look good on your face. If you’re hesitant to use your own picture, you can also choose from the wide variety of different model faces to put your experiment on.
