HOW TO: MAKE COFFEE FACE MASK AND SCRUB



I have posted about Surprising Benefits of Coffee before. On that post I explain to you that coffee has a lot of benefits for your skin. It could protect your skin; make it smooth, calm, and bright. How amazing! If you haven’t read about it you can read it here. So, on this post I want to tell you one of my routine with coffee that can make your skin smoother and brighter. I usually use coffee as my face mask and scrub. As I mentioned before on my post, use coffee as scrub is effective without being harsh. Many of nature’s exfoliating properties (sugar or sand) will slough and smooth skin, but aren’t exactly gentle. Softer coffee grounds naturally exfoliate dead skin and will leave it silky smooth sans irritation. Can you imagine how great coffee is!

How to make it?
1.    Prepare a quarter cup of coffee.
2.    Add honey as taste to create a scrub or a slightly thick paste.
3.    Apply to the face and leave for about 30 minutes. To make it as scrub apply in a circular motion. Recommended for direct use this mixture after mixing.
4.    Clean the skin and always apply moisturizer after wearing these scrubs. Do coffee scrubbing every two weeks. Scrub is also good to use on the body.

I like to use coffee as an exfoliator because it can help remove dead skin that is in the top of layer of skin, and to help moisturize the skin I add honey. Well, happy scrubbing!

Healthy Hair and Nails Secrets


There are many products on the market to help keep your hair and nails looking healthy and clean, but some solutions are already in you're home. You just have to put those everyday products to good use.
1.   Wash Your Hair With Mouthwash
Turns out that mouthwash is an effective cure for dandruff. Mix your won dandruff rinse by combining one part mouthwash with nine parts water. After shampooing with your regular shampoo, apply the mixture to your scalp and leave it on. Your dandruff will improve, your hair won’t be sticky, and you can be assured people won’t accuse your hair of having bad breath.
2.   Give Your Hair a Mint Rinse
If you’d rather not have your hair smelling like mouthwash, try this remedy: Mash a handful of dry or fresh peppermint leaves and cover them with vodka. Let it steep for a full day (no tasting) then strain. Add ¼ teaspoon water at a time to the mix until it becomes cloudy. After shampooing, apply the mix to your scalp and leave it on. You should see results by the second shampoo.
3.   Take Vitamin B
For nails as strong as horses’ hoofs, turn to good old vitamin B. The hoofs are made from keratin, the same substance that makes up fingernails (the natural ones, at least). Several studies find it works just as well in humans. One from Swiss researchers found that patients with brittle nails who supplement with 2,500 micro-grams of biotin for six months increased their nail thickness by 25 per cent. Take 300 micro-grams of the vitamin four to six times a day.
4.    Skip Quick-Dry Nail Polish

Most quick-drying nail polishes contain more formaldehyde and alcohol than regular polishes, and those fluids can dry and split your nails. The best way to fast-dry your nails is by freezing them. Dump a tray of ice cubes into your bathroom sink, add enough cold water to cover them, and then dip your wet nails into the cold water for a minute or two after each coat.
