Surprise Beauty Tips from Your Medicine Cabinet

cosmetic skincare+ making – When you need some new beauty tips or tricks, the last place you think of is your bathroom medicine cabinet. But, what you find will probably amaze you. There are many spa-quality treatments in your own medicine chest.

You might consider your complexion. Every time you have a big night out, does it seem like a gigantic pimple comes up? If so, your skin may be reacting to stress. Visiting a spa is the best way to get a facial. Nonetheless, these can cost you over 100 dollars. Spa facials can also take up a great deal of your time. Instead, just apply a small dab of hydrocortisone cream (normally used for rashes and poison ivy) to the zit. Hit it in the morning, and it should fade dramatically by nightfall.

Breakouts aren’t such a big deal for you? Well, don’t worry, there are also medicine cabinet beauty tips for you. You should try opening up some vitamin E capsules. Many people take vitamin E for cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer’s and sickle cell anemia. For a scar and wrinkle treatment that works right away, break open a vitamin E capsule. Vitamin E makes a wonderful topical healer which is why most all anti-aging creams contain it.

Looking for a gentle toner? Try using some distilled witch hazel. Most of the time, expensive over-the-counter toners can really dry out your skin and may even cause redness. Witch hazel mixed with some water then put on a cotton ball will accomplish the same thing, just in a gentler manner. Witch hazel is often used for hemorrhoids and laryngitis. You can also use it as a great beauty treatment.

Of course, you should always test out these treatments before you go crazy with them. Any time you put a new substance on your face, you need to be careful. Put a small dab on the inside of your wrist or elbow. You need to leave it there for about 24 hours. Everything will be good to go if there isn’t any redness or irritation.

Beauty bargains can be found in the most surprising of places. You will be completely surprised at what the contents of your medicine cabinet holds. You can use these beauty tips to give yourself a spa experience any day you like in your own home.
