Tried and Tested Beauty Secrets Part 2

Since my friends enjoyed my blog on "Tried and Tested Beauty Secrets", I decided to come up with a Part II. I hope they enjoy it just as much : )

1. Blackheads

Open a used tea bag (preferably green tea), and rub the leaves, while they're wet and moist,  on your nose in circular motion. Do this for 3 minutes. Rinse and wash face as usual.

2. Exfoliate your FACE

Wet your face and apply a mix of fresh lemon juice and brown sugar to exfoliate your face and give it a natural glow. Gently rub it in circular motion and leave for 5 minutes. Do this 2x a week preferably in the evening before going to sleep.

3. Facial Mask

Cook a bowl of oatmeal and add 2 tablespoons of honey. While the mixture is warm, apply to your face and leave until dry for about 20 to 30 minutes. Rinse and wash face as usual.

4. Acne Solution

Make a solution of  baking soda and warm water. Apply the mixture to your face after washing with a mild cleanser. Let it stay for 15 minutes, and then wash off with cold water.

or

Try crushing an uncoated aspirin and mix with honey. Apply to your face and let it stay for 15 minutes. Wash face as usual.

5. Natural Face and Neck Lift

Crack an egg and separate the the egg yolk and the egg white. Apply the egg white to your face and leave for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water afterwards. Do this regularly to achieve the firm skin you want to have.

6. Sunburn Solution

Don't like being tan? Try this easy solution to your sunburned skin

Add two tablespoons of honey to a mixture of lemon juice. Leave for 20 minutes. See the difference after a week.

7. Instant Quick Dry

In a hurry after a manicure or pedicure? 

Dip your fingers or toes in a bowl of ice-cold water. Your nails will dry very quickly. Just make sure your nails don't hit the sides of the bowl. : )

Happy weekend! I'd love to hear your feedback. 

Until next time Fierce Ladies

Tried and Tested Beauty Secrets

I miss blogging. I must admit I have been very busy since I got back to work. Well, aside from work, I also go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week, so I get really tired and go to sleep immediately when I get home.

Since I missed sharing my thoughts, I decided to write something that hopefully you, Fierce Ladies, would enjoy.

I promised myself that I would pamper myself more this 2012 and because I am sticking to my New Year's Resolution, I'd want to share some Beauty Secrets that I have been doing or have tried once or twice in my life.



1. I hate it when girls have dark elbows and knees. No matter how beautiful you are, people will always notice these parts of your body. So how do you keep it soft and white? Rub fresh lemons in circular motion for 5 to 10 minutes and leave it for about 20 minutes. Do this 2 to 3x a week, and in no time you will see great results.

2. Do you want to get rid of those stubborn blackheads?Wet your face with warm water, get a bit of brown sugar and honey and rub it on your nose for a few minutes. Wash off and wash as usual. 

You may also try opening a used tea bag and rubbing the leaves on your nose. Make sure to always rub in circular motion. 

Just a reminder: Our skin is very sensitive so please be gentle when rubbing your nose.

3. Cellulite is a problem all women encounter. Whether you are thin or a plus size, we all see those small dimples in our thigh area. So how do we solve this problem? Well, first of all you have to know that it won't disappear in a day or two. It will take time and a lot of patience and effort. After brewing your hot cup of fresh coffee every morning, remove what's left of your coffee from the filter of the coffee maker. Rub it for about 15 minutes on your thighs or any part of your body which has cellulite before taking a shower.  

4. To get rid of oily and lifeless hair, add 2 teaspoons of baking soda to your favorite shampoo.

For very dry hair, wash your hair with mayonnaise or 2 egg yolks. Leave on your hair for about ten minutes. I know this sounds disgusting but it really works. After ten minutes, rinse off and shampoo as usual.

5. Are your feet dry and cracked? Apply petroleum jelly before going to bed and wear socks while you sleep. You'll wake up to the softest feet you could ever imagine.

I will be posting more beauty secrets soon. For now, try these and tell me how it goes : )

Until next time, Fierce Ladies
