I thought I'd ease myself back into the blogging swing of things (so to speak) by doing a little beauty tips post. I have become rather addicted to Pinterest since finishing uni for Summer and have found a number of beauty tips on the site.
Get rid of acne and open up problematic pores
At almost 19 years of age I still suffer from acne, it is extremely frustrating and really knocks a persons confidence. I've tried everything from tablets to expensive creams to get rid of the spots, nothing worked. I spotted this tip on Pinterest and while it isn't a miracle cure for acne, it did greatly reduce the redness for me. Give it a try, I guarantee your skin will feel and look a great deal healthier!
- Open a Vitamin E capsule (I used vitamin capsules from Superdrug) lightly massage it into your face, and let it soak in for 30 minutes.
- Apply beaten egg white to your skin, let it soak in for another 30 minutes, and then rinse off with cold water.
This home remedy can help you get rid of acne and open up problematic pores. With regular use, your skin will become smooth and radiant within few days
Getting Rid of Acne-Black Tea Method.
I've yet to try this, however a lot of 'Pinners' were reporting very good results after trying the black tea method. (courtesy of WikiHow) Give it a try, and let me know how it goes!
Fill up a cup with the required water, so using 1 part hot water and 2 parts cool water will do the trick! Once a good temperature is achieved, place the teabag(s) into the cup.
- Allow the tea bag(s) to steep for a few minutes, then once the water has become a dark brown - the optimal amount of saturation has been achieved.
Lie down flat, horizontal, and place old cushions or pillows underneath your head (so if the tea runs off of your face and downwards, it wont ruin anything clean or new).
Place the tea bag(s) straight onto your face, rubbing them gently around and spread the water evenly. As you do this, the residue will dry quite quickly so you can then apply more, repeating this many times. Good places to ensure you apply it to are your nose, T - zone & any area's prone to spots, bumps, redness and general blotchy/bad/uneven skin.
