Give Peas A Chance Eye Mask
Green relief for swollen, puffy eyes.

I could never eat peas as a kid. Ugh, just the thought of those mushy little legumes made my throat close up in fear. Now as a bona fide grownup, peas don't scare me so much, especially because of their handy use as an ice pack. Frozen peas can help reduce swelling and puffy eyes not only because of their icy effects but because the small round pearls can settle into the shape around the eyes. In honor of all that is green and good and a little mushy in the world, we encourage you to give peas a chance.
Here's what you do:

Remove the bag of peas from the freezer and let it thaw for about 10 minutes so the ice-cold package doesn't redden skin. Lay back, place the bag on your eyes and visualize calming green thoughts for about 5 minutes. P.S., Not only is green considered a calming hue but is also the color of the heart chakra and is our center for compassion and unconditional love.
You'll need:

* Bag of frozen baby peas


Eye Brake for Spuds
With party season in full swing, use this easy remedy for puffy, overstressed eyes.

Don't ask me why, but this simple cure for dark under-eye circles really helps. It could be the tons of minerals that the tater accumulates in its early life underground. Or it could be the huge amounts of Vitamin C packed in the starchy little tuber. But who really cares when you've got two black eyes from partying (studying, working, worrying, etc.) the night away? This works best if the potatoes have been chilled.
Here's what you do:

Place two heaping tablespoonfuls of the grated potato on a square of cloth. Tie the potato bomb securely. Repeat. Lay back and place each bomb over closed eyes for 10 minutes while you repeat your favorite mantra (try "I will never drink that much again."). If you can't find cheesecloth or want a super quick remedy, peel a potato, slice it in half and make two thin half-moon slices. Slap the slices under your eyes for 10 minutes.
You'll need:

* One peeled and grated potato
* Cotton cheesecloth
* String or ribbon

Tried-and-True Cucumber Soak
The classic cucumber cure.

Okay, it's not just a wives' tale ... cucumbers really do help relieve puffiness, sore eyes and eye fatigue. Cukes have a high water content, which helps soothe and cool eyes. The trace amounts of salt helps draw excess water from the tissue surrounding the eyes, reducing puffiness. They also help to tone and firm the skin around the eyes.
Here's what you do:

Allow cucumber slices to cool on the ice for a few minutes. Place a cucumber slice over each eyelid and relax for 10 to 15 minutes. And here's a little secret the resident spa boy came up with: If you want to keep your peepers open during this treatment, cut the slices in half and use them just under your eyes.
You'll need:

* Sliced cucumbers
* Bowl of ice

Soothing Eye Gel
A treatment for tired eyes.

The protein in the gelatin nourishes the skin beneath the eye and helps to tighten and smooth it. The elderflowers have a mildly astringent, tightening effect. Store the gel in a refrigerator and use within six days.
Here's what you do:

Put the elderflowers and eyebright in a saucepan with the water. Cover and bring to a boil, the simmer for 10 minutes. Cool and strain the infusion. Place the gelatin in a small saucepan with 3 tablespoons of the small infusion and leave to soak for 10 minutes. Set the pan over a low heat until the gelatin melts. Transfer the eye gel to a sterile pot with a lid, and leave it to cool and solidify. Apply a small amount of gel with a fingertip. Dab the gel into the skin; don't rub the skin.

You'll need:

* 1 small sprig fresh elderflowers
* 1/2 teaspoon dried eyebright leaves
* 5 fl oz water
* 1 teaspoon powdered gelatin

An after-party eye lift.

Here's what you do:

Put two teaspoons or slices of cucumber in the freezer for 15 minutes. Place the frosted spoons or the cucumber slices on your eyelids and relax for ten minutes.
You'll need:

* 2 slices of cucumber
* 2 frosted spoons

Homemade Skin Treats

Simple, Effective and Natural Products Found In Your Kitchen

Catherine Solmes

Sept 18, 2007

Use everyday products found in your kitchen to smooth, soothe and soften your skin.

Think of how cashmere, silk and cotton feel against your skin compared with nylon, polyester and rayon. If you've never tried an all-natural or largely natural moisturizer, mask or exfoliator, you're in for the same experience. Natural products have been used for centuries by women attempting to smooth, soften and moisturize their skin, and while it's easy to get distracted by the rows of tempting bottles and tubes at the drugstore or department store, you've actually got plenty of skin treats in your own kitchen! So open that fridge and those cupboards and get gorgeous!

Brown Sugar-Olive Oil Scrub

Don't spend your money on pricey scrubs; make your own with brown sugar and olive oil. It exfoliates away all the dry skin, moisturizes what's underneath, increases your skin's circulation and can improve the appearance of cellulite.

For gorgeously smooth skin, combine roughly three parts brown sugar with one part olive oil (11/2 cups to 1/2 cup; 3 cups to 1 cup, and so on). Before you shower, stand in your bathtub and apply the scrub with your hands to your body and rub. Be gentle, as this is quite abrasive, but you can be a bit rougher where your skin is thicker and drier (i.e. your feet). Rinse off in the shower, and you'll find there's no need to moisturize afterwards.

Yogourt Mask

Used by women for centuries, yogourt works on all skin types to soften skin, soothe redness and tighten pores while gently deep cleaning. Use a natural, unflavoured, plain yogurt (Balkan style tends to be thicker and is easier to apply) and apply to your face as you would a mask, avoiding the eyes and mouth. You may want to let the yogourt warm up slightly before applying it! Leave on for ten minutes and rinse off with warm water. Follow with a honey mask, or apply moisturizer as you would normally.

Honey Mask

Honey is also an ancient beauty product used alongside yogourt to soften, deep clean and soothe your skin. Honey is a natural antibiotic and will help to kill any bacteria in your pores, which in turn helps to eliminate redness. It's also gently moisturizing and full of vitamins. Simply smooth it onto your face, avoiding your eyes and mouth and let it sit for ten minutes. Rinse off with warm water and follow with your regular toning and moisturizing routine.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is an all-purpose, rich, but non-irritating moisturizer. Try rubbing it onto dry bits like your elbows, knees and heels. Try it as a nighttime moisturizer for your face during the cold months. Smooth it on your body for an extra-nourishing treat and rinse off the excess in the shower – your skin will feel amazing. Or warm it carefully and very, very slightly and use it as a heated deep-moisturizing mask.

Olive oil can also be used as a deep moisturizing hair mask. Smooth it onto warm, damp hair from your ears down (the oldest, most damaged/dry part of your hair). Wrap some plastic wrap around it and then a towel to keep it warm. This is best done at bedtime so the oil has time to penetrate the hair shaft while you sleep, but you can let it sit for a minimum of half-an-hour if you prefer. Then wash your hair as usual and you'll be amazed at the difference.

Baking Soda

Baking soda is an all-purpose, gentle exfoliator and skin softener. To use it as an exfoliator, simply pour a quarter-sized amount of baking soda into the palm of your hand. You can add a tiny bit of your regular cleanser or some warm water to turn it into a paste. You may need to add more to get the right consistency. Apply to your skin, avoiding your eyes, and rub gently with your fingertips in a circular motion. Adjust the pressure of your fingers as you wish for a harder or lighter scrub and then rinse off the paste with warm water. Follow with your regular toner and moisturizer.

You can also sprinkle some baking soda into a warm bath for an extra-softening skin treat.

Chocolate face mask recipe - a guilt free way to nourish and soften your skin

Not only is it diet friendly, this chocolate face mask recipe is an excellent moisturizer that leaves your skin soft and glowing.

Known about since the times of the Mayas and the Aztecs, chocolate has a special place in our nutrition. It is filled with tryptophan, an essential amino acid that is a precursor of serotonin, neurotransmitter that is thought to regulate mood.

Recently, a very popular massage offered in beauty salons is chocolate massage. It is one of the most gentle and relaxing massages available. Not only is it beneficial to the skin, it helps stabilize your mood by initiating serotonin release. It is very rejuvenating and helps you feel more at peace, happy, and relaxed.

I have also heard of chocolate body wax, similar to honey based honey wax. What makes it effective is sugar present in it, that makes it sticky and able to adhere to hairs. Due to fatty acids present in cocoa, the skin becomes soft and nourished.

Cocoa powder, which is what chocolate is made of, is a wonderful and powerful antioxidant. It protects and frees the skin from free radicals, that cause significant damage to skin layers. It is a mistake to think that chocolate causes acne. Although chocolate has been blamed as one of the causes of acne , this has not been scientifically proven as of yet. Actually, dermatologists say that what causes acne in people who consume chocolate is milk that is added to it, not the chocolate itself. As I mentioned, it has free radicals present, and is far from detrimental so don't let a little myth stop you from consuming this divine treat :)

Back to chocolate face mask recipe...

This cocoa recipe has many variations. It might as well be called cocoa powder facial mask recipe as you really need cocoa, not chocolate to prepare it. But you must agree, for the sake of skin care, chocolate mask sounds so much more appealing.

Chocolate face mask recipe

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup cocoa
• 1/4 cup of honey
• 2 tablespoons of heavy cream (sour cream will work as well)
• 3 teaspoons of oatmeal powder

Preparation

Mix all the ingredient until the mass in consistent. Apply on the face, gently massaging it so that oatmeal can start exfoliating the dead skin cell layer. Leave it on for about 20 minutes and rinse off with luke warm water.

In case you are wondering, there is a reason oatmeal and honey are added to this mix. Similar to its use in body scrub recipes, oatmeal it is recommended for sensitive skin, but can be used in preparation of facial masks for any skin type, as well as for preparation of facial exfoliants as it is gentle on the skin, yet highly powerful.

Honey on the other hand, is a great anti-bacterial agent, deeply cleanses your skin, and opens up clogged pores.

Now that you know all these benefits of chocolate, not only can you be guilt free while eating it, you can prepare an excellent chocolate face mask recipe and aid to your skins youthful look and nourishment.

美容DIY(15)-土豆(马铃薯)面膜祛黑眼圈

　　如果面容显得疲惫，也可用熟土豆面膜，它不仅能消除疲惫感，而且也能舒展皱纹。

　　熟土豆面膜制法：土豆中加入少量牛奶煮熟，再碎成泥，待冷却之后涂敷在脸上20—25分钟即可。如果属于油性皮肤，可以将熟土豆去皮捣烂后加入少量燕麦粉，混合后敷脸15—20分钟，然后再用温水洗掉。而要想让干性皮肤柔软、富有弹性的话，则可以将熟土豆去皮捣烂，加入一匙酸奶，涂敷面部10—15分钟，然后再用40℃-50℃的温水清洗掉。

美容DIY(14)-豆腐酵母美白细肤面膜

豆腐含蛋白质、维生素B1、维生素B2、维生素E、烟酸及钙、铁、镁等多种有益物质，能有效地滋养肌肤，使肌肤美白细嫩。便宜而又好用的豆腐也是美白的材料，若和酵母粉调和使用，更能促进肌肤的新陈代谢。

材料：豆腐一块约50克*酵母粉15克

1.将豆腐放在碗中捣碎.

2.加入酵母粉,调成糊状.

美容DIY (13) - 自制SK－II面膜

sk－ii面膜的效果有口皆碑，不过它的价格不是人人都能接受的，想不想自己做一款和sk－2有同样效果但又没有副作用的面膜呢？

干酵母20克，热牛奶适量，将牛奶缓缓加入干酵母中，同时快速搅拌，调整好浓度后就能敷用了。当然，你也可以发挥一下自己的想象，比如干性皮肤可以再加一些蜂蜜或橄榄油，油性皮肤可以加几滴柠檬汁；你也可以加入适合自己皮肤的精油，相信一定不会差。

　　干酵母一般超市就有，通常是20克一包，刚好够一次用量
为什么说它有用呢？
　　
　　酵母在发酵过程中会产生大量活性氧分子，对皮肤有美白作用。
　　sk－ii不过是将它们浓缩了而已。
　　理论上油性皮肤可以用酸奶代替牛奶。
　　不过酸奶比较黏稠，调干酵母时不易调匀。
　　
　　酵母对皮肤会不会有什么损伤？
　　
　　如果你不是敏感性皮肤，而且不频繁，就没有问题。
　　sk－ii中的酵素浓度很高，所以见效也很快，但对皮肤的负荷有增加；
　　这个面膜中酵素含量属于安全范围，只要你不是敏感性皮肤就可以放心使用。
　　还要说一句，使用的时候如有任何不适，请马上洗掉，因为每个人皮肤的接受程度不同，酵母菌的生物活性对有些皮肤可能会引起过敏。
　　调好一点酵母，涂在手肘内侧或耳后，半小时内没有不良反应就没问题了。
　　这个面膜可以增加皮肤的含氧量，能使暗沉的肌肤产生一种透明感（也就是通常我们所说的，使粗厚的角质层变得细滑），另外它还有美白皮肤的作用，能使肤色更均匀。
　　

　　不过有几点要提醒大家注意：
　　1、油性皮肤请用脱脂奶。
　　2、做完后请立即使用，因为它很容易变干结块。
　　3、由于其中含有活性酵母，易造成过敏，所以敏感性皮肤慎用。
　　4、一周一次即可，不宜频繁使用。
