5 Great Foods For Your Skin!

Are you sick of paying too much money for expensive skin care products? Do you want a few quick easy healthy alternatives? 

*Raw honey is a miracle worker for sensitive skin.
It is a natural antiseptic and is also antimicrobial, so it helps heal your skin while killing the bacteria that cause acne. It helps balance out oily skin while keeping your skin moisturized. It can even out skin tone and blotches as well. You can use it one of two ways: either smear raw honey all over your face as a mask, or dab it on as a spot treatment. As a mask, leave the honey on for 5-10 minutes then rinse off with warm water. For best results, don’t use a toner afterwards. This mask can be done daily. Raw honey masks will change your skin!

*Apple cinnamon vinegar.
It may smell awful but works as a natural toner. It helps smooth and exfoliate skin as well as reduce acne redness. It has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties that are ideal in a toner. This particular remedy used on its own is too potent so make sure you mix it with water. I would recommend 1 part ACV and 3-4 parts water. Feel free to experiment with this for your own skin. After cleansing, apply all over face with a cotton swab.

*Coconut Oil is our next product.
This stuff can be used for anything that needs a little extra oomph. Coconut oil heals dry skin on your face and body and can also tame split ends and frayed hair. It is very dense and so it penetrates deeper into the skin than most moisturizers. It helps strengthen skin beneath the surface. You can replace your normal moisturizer for deeper moisture. Or you can run it through your hair for a silky smooth look. It will not clog your pores so it is a very gentle, effective solution to dry skin.

*Tea bags.
They are the go-to quick fix for red puffy eyes. We all have nights when we cannot sleep and we are super scared and embarrassed to walk out with redness around our eyes. Tea bags are the cure. The caffeine in black teas will reduce puffiness, while anti-inflammatories in green tea will sooth redness and eliminate inflammation. This is an easy thing to get ready in the morning, just boil some water, soak your tea and wait for those babies to cool down. Apply for as long as needed and get on with your day!

*Egg mask.
They can be done in two parts: Egg white mask followed by an egg yolk mask. Leave the egg white mask on until it dries completely, and then wash off completely with warm water. Apply the egg yolk for another 10-15 minutes, and then wipe off with a warm wash cloth. Egg whites are great for firming up skin. Now don’t be alarmed, you won’t be able to move your face once the egg white mask is completely dried. However, when you wipe it off your skin will feel tight and dry. While this helps reduce redness and inflammation, the egg yolk mask helps moisturize and soften skin. Overall, it’s a great combo, and it works great if you do it right at the first sign of acne outbreaks. This is a great once or twice a week mask and works well for combo/oily skin and is a godsend for PMS time.  Downside: dealing with raw eggs. If you’re uncomfortable with that, there are plenty of other natural skin remedies to choose from!
