Old- Fashioned Beauty

Nowadays, women go to extremes to achieve beauty. They have surgeries, pay hundreds of dollars for creams, and so much more. In the old days, women used natural, inexpensive remedies, because it was what they could afford and they knew all the remedies to use.

Some beauty tips...

Effective Face Mask :Mix the pulp of an orange with one of two spoons of honey. Apply it on your face and leave it on for approximately 20 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water. When done, your skin should feel soft and velvety.

Original French Cologne : Take one liter (90% alcohol), mix in 4 grams each of the following: orange blossoms, rosemary, citron-tree, bergamot. Allow to stand for 24 hours, filter and it is ready to use.

For Tired Eyes :Dampen two envelopes of chamomile tea with warm water. Put one envelope on each eye and listen to relaxing music. Keep it on for about 20 minutes, and when you’re done, your eyes will be noticeably better.
OR mix cotton with milk and put on eyes .Leave it on for as long as you want. This helps dark circles.


Soft Skin Fix :While in the shower,soap up your body with your favorite soap and before rinsing off use yellow cornmeal as a scrub on your skin ( do not apply cornmeal with a towel, apply with moistened hands) and when it is rinsed your skin will feel great. It removes all dead skin, leaving  vibrant and softer skin. This can be used on your face as well.
