There are thousands of skin tips that people use to make their skin glow and flawless, and we bet you know a lot of those tips! However, here are some tips that we are sure you have never heard of. A few gems to add to your skin tip collection!
1. Beauty sleep can make you ugly
Some dermatologists can tell which side a patients sleep on by the vertical line on her cheek. This can make you look ugly because your skin is pressed against wrinkles in the fabric! Best way to avoid these vertical lines is to sleep on your back, or use a smooth pillowcase (satin or silk).
2. You don’t need sun to feel the burn
All the SPF and sun avoidance in the world can’t protect you from the space heater next to your desk or the fireplace in your living room. Direct exposure from two to three feet away causes redness and a breakdown of collagen. It’s best to sit at least ten feet away.
3. Wasabi
Yup, you read that correctly! Wasabi increases circulation and promotes oxygenation of the cellular tissue.
Wasabi Massage Oil: Combine ¼ cup vegetable oil and ¼ cup light sesame oil in a small saucepan. Heat on low for 2 to 3 minutes or until warm but NOT boiling or smoking. Immediately remove from heat and stir in ½ tsp wasabi paste. Be sure to use a wooden spoon since plastic can leach out chemicals. Cover and let cool for at least 1 hour. Add 5 drops of vitamin E oil (you can pop a vitamin oil pill if you have one) and still until mixed in. Massage!
4. Tomatoes
Tomatoes not only taste great, they can also keep your skin healthy. The lycopene found in tomatoes can act as sunscreen from within the body and is also anti aging. Just apply tomatoes to the face for 20 minutes to help with dirty, oily skin.
5. Black pepper can remove blackheads
Tired of black head strips that don’t actually work? Try mixing a tablespoon of black pepper with yogurt and applying it to your face. Let it sit for seven minutes and wipe off. The pepper acts as a natural exfoliant lifting the blackheads out.
6. Hair brushes are not only for your hair
Studies show that stimulating the face with the tip of a hairbrush for sixty seconds each morning improve blood flow in the face. This motion helps disperse cellulite and improve the skin texture. Now your hair brush is multifunctional!
You were shocked with those tips, right? It may seem crazy, but it works! Try them yourself and see the results!
