Leftovers=great facial remedies

Here is a list of some quick home remedies I've found (and tried) and they are things that I'm sure all of us use daily or weekly, so here we go!

Hydrate dry skin

Secret Ingredient: Honey

Squeeze a dime-size dollop of honey into palms, blend it with your regular face wash, and use the mixture to give your face a deep facial. For a body wash, use a walnut-size dollop of honey








Soothe puffy eyes

Secret ingredient: Chamomile tea

Steep two chamomile tea bags in warm water, then place in refrigerator to cool. Squeeze excess fluid from tea bags and place over tired eyes for 5 minutes








Smooth and exfoliate

Secret ingredient: Coffee beans

Dip a wet washcloth into leftover coffee grounds and massage into damp skin from neck down to slough off dead skin. Concentrate on cellulite prone areas like thighs to tighten skin.












Revive tired skin

Secret ingredient: Cucumber

Puree 1 small cucumber in blender, then add 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour. Stir until mixture is thick and pasty. Apply to clean, dry face and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.




 I hope you enjoy these quick, very inexpensive ideas!!
