Had a bad night? Refresh your puffy, tired eyes by simply placing damp tea bags to your closed eyes for 10 minutes. The tannins in the black tea will deflate and tighten the skin under your eyes. Also, sliced cool cucumbers, placed on the bags under your eyes, will also work effectively there.
Do you feel concerned about your dark elbows and knees? Mix a quarter cup of papaya, a tablespoon of lemon and a teaspoon of pure, organic honey. Rub it on the affected area with a hard sponge. Then, wait till it dries, before rinsing off with water. Repeat 3 to 4 times every week until you are fine with the results.
To soften very dry and chapped lips? Apply olive oil on them. The antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and moisturizing properties in the oil will instantly soften, soothe and moisturize your lips.
Suffering from an embarrassing foot odor? Soak your feet every night in a part vinegar and two part water to eliminate bacteria. Bacteria strives in moist environment; the vinegar kills the odor-causing bacteria and keeps your feet dry.
To get rid of a cold? Squeeze a whole lemon fruit in a cup, add a teaspoon of pure, organic honey and warm water. The vitamin C in the lemon will help shorten the duration and severity of the cold. Honey is packed full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that rids your body of the fever, soothes your throat, heals your cough and dries up your runny nose. The warm water is effective in improving blood circulation. Take 2-3 cups daily and you will feel great in no time. You can also boil the skin of the lemon in water and breathe in the vapor. This helps to open up your sinuses.
Battling with an embarrassing mouth odor? Squeeze lemon juice in a cup with a little amount of water and gargle with it. The acid in the lemon will help kill the odor-causing bacteria. If you can't get a lemon, chew on an apple. Then, enjoy some plain, unsweetened yogurt, which has the lactobacillus bacteria. This bacteria will kill and neutralize the odor. Thus, keeping your mouth fresh for up to 12 hours.
