Last summer, I researched a couple things and they made my life better. Why not share it?

Feel free to add to this list, I’m sure there are those who are an expert at this stuff. 

Emergency pimple that you need to get rid of ASAP

1) Soak a cotton ball in apple cider vinegar. It’s recommended that you dilute your apple cider vinegar if your skin is sensitive.  2) Hold the soaked cotton ball onto pimples GENTLY (don’t press hard) for at least 5 minutes!  3) Dab apple cider vinegar on your pimples through out the day.  4) Let the apple cider dry.  Results: By nighttime or the next day, your pimple should shrink or disappear provided you persistently dabbed it repeatedly 

Don’t do this often, it can aggravate your skin*

Facial scrub

There are many you can do. Here are 10 of them. 

For longer, thicker eyelashes

Apply vaseline on your eyelashes before you sleep (BE CAREFUL TO NOT GET IN EYE). You can also use a clean mascara brush and dip it in some almond, olive or coconut oil and apply it on your eyelashes. 

To get rid of dark elbows and knees

Use a lemon and squeeze it until you get the juice out. Use cotton balls to soak them in the lemon juice and then apply all over your knees and elbows. Leave them it on for a couple minures, then using a warm washcloth scrub it off. 

For baby smooth skin

Use 2 teaspoons of yogurt, 1 teaspoon of milk and honey, 3 teaspoons of flour and mix all together and apply on your face. Leave it for 30 minutes and wash it off. 

For lighter skin

Wanna get rid of that summer tan or even out your skin tone? Squeeze lemon juice again but remember to dilute it. Never put direct lemon juice onto your face. Mix this with some sugar. Use it as a scrub. Leave it on your face for no more than 5 minutes. The same can be done for your body. 

For silky hair

Apply olive oil/coconut oil to your hair. Make sure you get it deep into those roots. Leave on for 30 minutes up to 1 hour and wash it off with shampoo and conditioner

For whiter teeth

Sprinkle some baking soda on your toothbrush and brush using gentle, circular motions. I’d watch out if you had gum sensitivity though. Old wives’ recipes often state that a paste of baking powder, a little salt, and a few drops of white vinegar, works effectively. 

For cleaner nails
