Beauty Recipes by Pearl


Eastern wax is a caramel added lemon juice to prevent hardening. This is one of the oldest methods of hair removal. Wax East also has an effect on exfoliating dead skin. This is perfect for maintaining a smooth skin

We can prepare yourself wax East as many variations of recipes available. In a saucepan over low heat, caramelize 4 tablespoons fine sugar to 1 tablespoon of water. Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice filtered and 1 tablespoon honey. Stop cooking when the mixture is golden (do not let the caramel brown). We can adjust the consistency by adding a little water if necessary. Be careful not to burn yourself during preparation and during the application.
When finished cooking, pour the batter on a plate or in a pot and let it cool for a few minutes. Using a spatula, spread a thin layer on small strips of skin depilatory. Apply a strip of cloth over ready (available in supermarkets). Do well to adhere to the wax off then with a sudden gesture, against the grain. Repeat the operation very quickly to another area. For the legs, ankles start to finish knees.
For the more experienced, you can prepare a larger amount of wax and keep in the refrigerator for several months. Suffice it to soften in microwave oven or water bath before use.

8 Natural Beauty Tips for Your Skin

A few simple steps are all you need to care for your skin as you get older. These natural beauty tips can get you started.

  1. If you smoke, stop. Research shows that smoking prematurely ages your skin.
  2. Just say no to sunbathing and tanning salons. Stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The sun's rays are the strongest then. If you must be outside, wear a protective hat, long-sleeved shirt, and
    sunglasses. Freckles, age spots, and blotchy complexions are linked to sun exposure.
  3. Wear sunscreen religiously. Use products with SPF 15 or higher and with both UVB and UVA protection. Sun damage can result in such changes as fine wrinkles and an uneven skin tone.
  4. Check your skin often for skin cancer. If there are changes that worry you, call your doctor right away. Older, fair-skinned people are at high risk and must have a yearly check.
  5. Soothe dry skin. Use a humidifier. Also use moisturizing soaps and lotions. See your doctor if you still have problems.
  6. Eat right and hydrate. Good nutrition helps the body repair skin. Drinking lots of water helps hydrate skin from the inside out.
  7. Try anti-aging products. If you're over 50, over-the-counter creams and lotions can help enhance your natural beauty by rejuvenating your skin. Pentapeptides (a chemical compound in many new products) may help prompt skin cells to produce more collagen, which is the support structure that gives skin a firmer look. Prescription treatments and retinoid creams are also options.
  8. Know about skin treatments. Injections of Botox or Dysport can ease wrinkles in the upper third of your face. Chemical peels can remove fine lines and smooth skin, especially around the eyes and mouth. Wrinkle fillers can plump up your skin and erase lines. Microdermabrasion erases ultrafine lines, rejuvenates your complexion, and improves skin tone and color. Laser resurfacing can improve sun-damaged skin, scars, and other facial problems.
