Baking Soda As A Facial Scrub - BY BARBARA

I mix a combination of 1 teaspoon baking soda to my daily cleanser as a facial exfoliator. The baking soda smooths rough patches an scrubs away dead skin. I have extremely sensitive skin and have always had a hard time finding facial scrubs that aren't so harsh. This one works great!

Aloe Vera Beautifier - BY YVOONE

Love Your Lemons - BY MARLA TUFARELLI LMT, CAT

Next time you go out to eat, order lemon wedges. Lemons contain bacteria fighting agents. Squeeze the lemon into your water using your knife and fork to clean harmful bacteria off the surface. Squeeze the remaining juice in your hands and cleanse entire surface. The rind contains the oils, a more concentrated form of cleaning agent. If you're brave enough not to look paranoid with your guest, peel the lemon, use the rind to clean your silverware, glass, and hands. An added plus to this cleaning technique is that water with lemon stimulates digestive enzymes to improve digestion and is excellent for internal cleansing as well.

Bruise Remedy -BY DENA/ KANSAS CITY

I used to dance a lot, and would constantly be getting bruises, specifically on my legs, and my dance teacher told me to hold a banana peel with the skin in over a bruise, and there is some chemical in the skin of the peel that draws out the bruise...It really does work....Usually hold on the skin from 10 to 30 minutes.

Ultimate Beauty Remedies - BY NELY MENDIOLA/ MONTERREY, NUEVO LEON, MEXICO

To reduce redness, irritation and even aide with the occasional "pink eye", boil 1 chamomille bag, in 1 cup of water. (If you can find a natural chamomile bunch, it would be even better) Place in refrigerator for cooling overnight. I recommend using 2-4 drops per eye at least 4 times a day, if irritation is fairly bad. The tea bag itself may be used (still warm, but not HOT) over the eye area to reduce swelling & under eye circles. For firmer smoother skin, treating acne and lightening of dark spots...Cut one leaf of Aloe Vera plant and blend. Spread over face or affected area as you would a mask. Avoid under eye and eyelid areas. Leave on for 20 mins and wash off with warm water. Remaining mixture may be stored in refrigerator for maximum of 3 days. Treatment may be repeated every 3rd day. For acne prone skin, mask may be worn overnight for up to three days in a row, suspend for 3 days and repeat until desired skin condition is reached. For those of you with super sensitive skin, the overnight treatment is NOT recommended...FIRST try the 20 min. Test on only a small part of your skin to make sure irritation will not occur. It'll be a little stinky, but it's definitely worth the sacrifice. I use this treatment often and I have very sensitive skin.
