Head-to-Toe Secrets (Skin care for your body)

Do you have bumps on your skin? What about dry elbows, varicose veins and body odor? If you said yes to any of this, then you would find my post Head-to-Toe Secrets helpful to you. I have written how to get rid of the pesky bumps, soften dry elbows and temporary varicose vein treatment. Please read below.

Bumps Remover

Do you have lots of those tiny bumps on the backs of your arms, legs, or anywhere? Those are clogged pores. To unclog pores, mix together 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 5 drops of vegetable oil. Rub the blended mixture on your bumpy skin in a circular motion for about 1 minute on each part. Rinse off with warm water.

The citric acid in the lemon unclogs the pores as the abrasiveness of the sugar sweeps away dry skin and the oil moisturizes the area, making your arms nice and smooth.

How to soften dry elbows

Cut a lemon in half and drizzle a few drops of baby oil on each half. Stand over the sink and put an oily lemon half over each elbow(one at a time!)- then squeeze and twist the lemon like you are juicing it. Put the lemon halves on the table and place your elbows in them. Stay that way (if you can), for 30 min. Then rinse and dry off your newly cleaned and smoother elbows.

All-Natural Underarm Deodorant

Fill a clean, empty face-powder container with baking soda, and apply evenly under your arms using a powder puff or blush brush. The alka-line nature of baking soda balances pH levels to neutralize odor.

*POWER UP YOUR DEODORANT- If you have a real perspiration problem and feel more secure using commercial deodorant, you can boost its power by applying baking soda over it to absorb additional moisture.

-If you have ran out of deodorant, you can use antiseptic mouthwash or apple cider vinegar to neutralize odor. Just dampen a washcloth, and pat it on your armpits.

 

*UNDERARM STAIN PREVENTION*

If you are wearing a light colored shirt or blouse-and you don't want to let them see you sweat- stick a self adhesive mini-pad(panty liner) on the inside of your armpits for your garment. If profuse prespiring is a major problem for you, ask your Doctor about Botox injections. They are now standard treatment to help reduce sweat problems.

Prevent Body Odor Easily

Baths made with apple cider vinegar help fight off unfriendly bacteria and fungal overgrowth that may cause body odor. A couple times a week, pour 2 to 4 cups of apple cider vinegar in with your hot bathwater and take a nice soak for at least 10 minutes. then either rinse off under the shower or just dry off...and trust the smell of vinegar will disappear within 30 minutes.
For body odor prevention, its best to use pure, unprocessed apple cider vinegar, which is available at health-food stores.

Temporary Varicose Vein Treatment

After taking a warm bath or shower, soak a few washcloths in witch hazel and wrap them around your legs, covering the veins. Sit with the towels on-with your legs extended-for 5 minutes.
Witch hazel has astringent and vasoconstrictive properties, which will temporarily lighten the appearance of varicose veins and help reduce inflammation.
