Tighten your face skin and get rid of dark spots with cucumber

If you want to tighten your face skin naturally and get rid of dark spots then consider using cucumber. Not only that; cucumber is also a great treatment for troubled skin such as sun-damaged skin, acne skin and dehydrated skin types.

Even though I’m so lazy these days to make my homemade face masks , but still I do believe how these natural masks are great for the skin

Why cucumber ?

Simply cucumber is an excellent source of silica. Silica's contribution to the strength of our connective tissue is essential to a youthful appearance of the skin. Silica is also proven as an inhibitor of the aging process in tissues.


How to use cucumber for your face ?

Regardless of how you use cucumber, you must consider using it daily (twice a day is better ) to get the results you want.

- The simple way to use cucumber is to squeeze it to get the juice and spread it on your face –after cleaning it - for 10 minutes before rinsing it. In this way you are simply doing simple daily mask.

-You may also rub your face with piece of cucumber for 5- 10 minutes; the good about rubbing is that you are doing simple massage to your skin, this will double the effect.

- putting cucumber cutlets or slices on your face for 15 minutes is also beneficial

Frankly I prefer using cucumber on its own, but some women prefer mixing it with oil or honey or other natural product to make a mask.

Reduce wrinkles and boost collagen in your face by face tapping

Tapping is a very simple treatment that is done at home for the face to increase blood circulation, boost collagen production and rejuvenate your skin.
Face tapping is something like Acupuncture - Face Acupuncture is a treatment that stimulate some points on the face by penetrating the skin with needles that are then manipulated manually –

The good thing about face tapping is within few minutes you can do very effective treatment that will give you great and rapid result. You also can do it many times per day.

When I bought the Lamer for the first time, I’ve been told that the best way to use it is to rub a little amount between my fingers and tap it on my face. It seems that lamer producers know more beyond that tapping is good for product penetration into the skin.

By the way, tapping EFT can be used for many things, for example : to lose weight! Isn’t nice , 5 minutes can go miracle , so let us tap.

Benefits of Glycerin oil for face

 

Glycerin oil is a popular ingredient in beauty product because it is a good moisturizer. Glycerin not only conditions and protects your skin, it also adds moisture that repairs dry and damaged skin.



Glycerin oil is an ingredient which I used to use it with almost all homemade face products, like homemade face masks and hand moisturizer. Even I was unaware of the fact that it is good moisturizer but I like its texture. But since I read that there is a debate about it (last paragraph) I start to be cautious from using it; this does not mean that I’m not using it, but once weekly is good for me, even some people swear with the benefits of Glycerin oil




Why Glycerin oil is good moisturizer?

 Glycerin absorbs water from the surrounding air. If some was to be left in the open, it would absorb water from the surrounding air until the liquid was eventually 20% water. A small amount placed on the tongue would cause blistering, because it is dehydrating. When beauty products containing this compound are used on skin that is well moisturized, it can help keep that moisture in.



Debate about Glycerin oil

Since Glycerin oil absorbs moisture from the air what prevent it from absorbing the moisture from you skin. Since glycerin is not really absorbed into your skin but stays primarily on the surface where does it get the moisture? It either holds moisture next to your skin or it draws moisture out of your skin. Either way, it makes your dry skin even drier!

Benefit of castor oil for skin care

I know since long time that castor oil it good for hair growing (boost hair growth), whenever any lady want to change the shape of her eyebrows she will use castor oil for eyebrow for about a month, and the results are always great.

I also have funny experience with drinking castor oil to stimulate labor, and it did; after less than 18 hours of drinking this oil I delivered my baby.

One day my sister shocked me with the fact that castor oil is so good for the area around the eyes, mainly for the black circle and fine lines

Main Castor oil benefit for skin care

Castor oil has so many benefits for the skin; but the best (in my opinion) are mainly three :

1- Reduce dark circles around eyes

2- Reduce dark spots

3- Reduces line (specially under eyes )


How Castor oil work on skin

Castor oil has a low molecular weight, which means it is absorbed readily into skin, providing nourishment and moisturizing effects. Castor oil has the ability to not only penetrate the skin, but to reach the deeper in the skin layers and warm it, which can decrease the stagnation of fluids (which is the main reason for dark circles and dark spots ) and increase blood circulation
