Beauty Tips Surprises from Your Bathroom Medicine Cabinet

When you think of beauty tips and tricks, your bathroom medicine cabinet is probably the least likely place you look. But, what you find will probably amaze you. There are many spa-quality treatments in your own medicine chest.

The first thing to consider is your complexion. Does it seem like a huge pimple always pops up when you have a big night out? If this is a problem for you, your skin may be reacting to stress. A spa is good if you need an emergency facial. But, they normally cost you well over 100 dollars. Spa facials can also take up a great deal of your time. So instead of this, you can just put a little bit of hydrocortisone cream on the blemish. If you put some on in the morning, it should fade considerably by nightfall.

You don’t get breakouts? Well, don’t worry, there are also medicine cabinet beauty tips for you. You can try some vitamin E oil capsules cut open. Many people take these supplements to help with cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer’s disease and sickle cell anemia. For a scar and wrinkle treatment that works right away, break open a vitamin E capsule. Vitamin E is a wonderful topical healer and is present in nearly all proven anti-aging creams.

Are you in need of a gentle toner? Try using some distilled witch hazel. Your skin can become very irritated even when using an expensive, over-the-counter toner. Witch hazel mixed with some water then put on a cotton ball will accomplish the same thing, just in a gentler manner. If you have ever had hemorrhoids or laryngitis, you may have used witch hazel for either one. You can also use it as a great beauty treatment.

Needless to say, testing out new treatments before use is a really good idea. 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. 24 hours is how long you should leave it on. If you don’t see any redness or irritation, you are good to go.

Beauty bargains can be found in the most surprising of places. The contents of your kitchen and bathroom could be very surprising. You can give yourself a great spa experience any day you want in your own home with these beauty tips.
