Happy Friday fellow Pickleer’s! I am SO looking forward to a nice relaxing (warm weather!) weekend. I think I shall begin my Friday night with a lovely Skinny Espresso Martini, and then squeeze in a few quick beauty treatments before heading out for the night. Now, I’m no beauty expert by any stretch but I do know one thing, if there’s a natural solution to remedy a beauty conundrum, I’m going to opt for it before heading out to the drug store. In the past, I’ve always found that natural home beauty remedies tend to be more effective than their man made counterparts, plus I feel better about using them (and they cost way less-bonus!) I’ve put together a quick reference guide of 12 of my favorite DIY Natural Home Beauty Remedies for all of the beautiful Pickleer’s out there!
Ready, set, BEAUTIFY…
1: Cellulite Be Gone Solution: Home Remedy
Why it works? Coffee grounds and olive oil for cellulite removal works wonders because of the stimulants in the caffeine. Caffeine dilates blood vessels and increases blood flow which can lend the skin a more firm, toned appearance.
2: Reduce Fine Lines & Crows Feet (Natural Remedy)
Why it works? Grapes contain natural oils and fruit acids that can help to tighten the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines over time.
3: Reduce Puffy Eyes (Natural Remedy)
Why it works? Aside from the fact that egg whites are packed with protean and endless health benefits, according to the Natural Eye Care Website, “egg white is an astringent that acts to tighten pores and reduce puffiness under the eyes”. Egg white will help reduce inflammation and increase circulation too!
4: The Wrinkle Remedy (Natural Solution)
Why it works? Almonds are packed with omega-3 and other natural oils which boosts the amount of moisture your skin can hold which enables your skin to “plump out” wrinkles on it’s own. Honey is rich with vitamins & amino acids which nourish the skin; it also contains powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals and reverse aging.
5: Brighten Your Smile (Natural Solution)
Why it works? Baking soda is found in most toothpastes and whiteners, so its no surprise that it acts as a powerful tooth whitener, but did you know strawberries will enhance the whitening effect? Strawberries contain an enzyme called Malic acid. This organic acid acts like an astringent by removing surface stain of the teeth.
6: Banish Dark Eye Circles (Natural Remedy)
Why it works? The flavonoids in mint produce antioxidants that help in reducing free-radical damage caused to the cells of the eyes, thereby treating dark circles. So simple and amazing!
7: Heal Acne and Reduce Scars (Natural Remedy)
Why it works? Apple cider vinegar contains alpha-hydroxy acids that attack bacteria and help dry out blemishes. White tea contains natural antioxidants which help get rid of free radicals that build up in our skin.
8: Skin Clarifying Exfoliant (Natural Remedy)
Why it works? The coconut oil base in this natural exfoliant it one of natures best moisturizers, while the granules in the sugar help sooth away dead skin and impurities. The strawberries contain alpha hydroxy acid, salycilic acid, and tons of vitamin c which are excellent for your skin. Salycilic acid and alpha hydroxy acid help banish dead skin cells and make your pores smaller, while vitamin c slows the rate of free radical damage and brightens skin!
9: Treat Dry Skin (Natural Remedy)
Why it works? Avocado is high-fat fruit which softens and moisturizes the skin. Avacoda also contains vitamins A, D, and E, which hydrate and protect the skin. Honey is rich with vitamins & amino acids which nourish the skin; it also contains powerful antioxidants that fight free radicals and reverse aging.
10: Shrink Large Pores (Natural Remedy)
Why it works? The egg white contains astringent properties that act to pull out waste and tighten pores as it dries. The corn starch works to softens the skin.
11: Reduce Age Spots (Natural Remedy)
Why it works? The acids onions contain have a fading effect similar to those in lemons. These acids combined with the natural properties in apple cider vinegar help fade age spots.
BEAUTIFUL post. It’s saved in my file for ever!! Easy to read and lovely to look at. Thanks!
the mint dark circle recipe :the mint hurts if a full concentration i recommend adding 2 to 3 tablespoons of water to dilute the mixture.
Josephine- thanks for the tip, that’s good to know!
For the cellulite, does it have to be fresh dry unused coffee grounds? Also, can I use any kind of oil?
Merci pour tous vos bons conseils. Je suis francophone et mon anglais n’est pas parfait, donc je ne comprend pas toujours les explications que vous donnez et la traduction, qui n’est pas faite par vous, laisse à désirer, donc auriez-vous une autre traduction à me suggérer. Je vous remercie, j’adore votre site…
It would be wonderful to have these set up to print as tiles that would form a large poster or could be framed separately…. normal printing breaks them up and does not do them justice… this is great info and so beautiful, it should be art!
I love the lay out of these DIY beauty recipes! So cute with the pics and the recipes. Pinned it to my Natural Beauty Recipes Board on Pinterest!
Was wondering on the healing acne and reducing scars would green tea be okay to use instead of white tea? And if used regularly would it prevent acne? Just being curious.
Ronda, I have heard that green tea works great too. I’d give it a shot!
Best of luck!
Jordan

does the apple vinegar cider works to clarify -make it lighter- the hair?
True age spots are harmless and don’t need treatment, but they can look like cancerous growths. For cosmetic reasons, age spots can be lightened with skin-bleaching products or removed. However, preventing age spots — by avoiding the sun and using sunscreen — may be the easiest way to maintain your skin’s youthful appearance and to avoid these dark skin spots.
The tips are really great and natural.
