Another Homemade Facial Treatment : Green Tea

Before I resorted to Nizoral AD Shampoo, I experimented on the wonders of green tea. This is another homemade facial and hair treatment, but sad to say, it wasn’t that effective with me. It’s probably because I don’t drink that much in a day. I don’t like drinking tea as much as I like drinking coffee. But I tried and even until now, still trying to love green tea. Green tea is a good source of anti-oxidaants. Aside from drinking it, it can be applied topically to the face. Both ways can help reduce the inflammation or the redness of the face due to acnes. Green tea is another affordable homemade facial treatment. And oh, before I forget, green tea can also a remedy for dandruff.

Green tea is not only good for those who want to slim down. I believe that it can be an effective cure for pimples and even for dandruff. I tried to rub the used tea bag on my face and even tried to open the tea bag and made use of the moist leaves as a facial mask. After half an hour, the redness on my face reduced and I feel refreshed. Just make sure to wash your face with your usual facial wash after doing the facial mask. I also tried to boil the tea bag and instead of drinking the tea, I poured it over my head and let it stay for a while, like around 15 minutes. After that I shampooed and hair conditioned my hair. The itchiness on my scalp due to dandruff lessened but because my dandruff was on its severe stage, I opted to seek help from Nizoral.
This maybe another homemade facial and scalp treatment, but I believe this will work on everybody just as long as he or she learns to love drinking this type of tea. This will not also help in detoxifying our body, a warm cup of this drink would help us relax our mind and lessen stress. I would like to recommend this homemade facial and scalp treatment to everybody. =)

Tomatoes for Pimples :)

Yep. You've read it right. Tomatoes are really good for soothing painful acne. That was weeks ago when I started searching for natural and practical ways of getting rid of my facial outbreaks, I stumbled upon the Kraft Miracle Whip Facial and also was able to read from some other sites (sorry, I forgot what sites I have stumbled upon) that potatoes and tomatoes are one of those practical cure.

I've tried potato poultice and it was good, but find it time consuming to scrape. So I decided to be loyal with tomatoes since I only have to slice them and place them on my pimples. It feels good everytime this tomatoes touch my face, it soothes my inflamed acne and the next day after, my acne starts to disappear.


So why is tomatoes? How can it help in treating pimples? Pimples or acne are caused by different factors, but one factor which is common to all is the BACTERIA in the pores. Some of the factors can be found here. So in order to take away this bad bacteria, we need to wash it away, but sometimes, facial wash is not enough. So here comes the tomato

, which is very rich with antioxidants. Tomato can help in the quick recovery of these disturbing facial outbreaks.

So what are you waiting for? Go grab a tomato and slice it then rub it or just place it over your swelling pimples for a few minutes. And don't forget to wash it with tap water after :)

Homemade facial and hair treatment

I’ve been searching over the web for a homemade facial treatment and found this Kraft Miracle Whip (KMW) facial treatment here and here. Lately, I’ve been suffering a lot of break outs, and I also tried availing a collagen facial in one of the well-known facial spa in the city but nothing changed, it even worsen the case. So what I did is go back to my normal facial wash and let it be.

Out of curiosity, I tried this Miracle Whip facial after finding some positive feedbacks from those who have tried it. And yes, it’s effective! I’ve tried the facial for two days already and my face feels soft and moisturized without even applying moisturizer. And I no longer suffer oily skin after the facial treatment.

In between the search for positive feedbacks from those who have tried this homemade facial, I also have learned that Kraft Miracle Whip can also be a good hair treatment most especially to those have dry hair. The second time I applied KMW to my face, I also applied it to my scalp and hair. After thirty minutes of leaving it on my head, I washed it twice with a shampoo and never used a conditioner after to really prove if it can indeed turn my dry hair into a shiny and healthy hair. And yes, after my hair dried, it feels soft and even my dandruff were gone. Yes… I’ve been suffering from dandruff eversince time immemorial. I tried a lot of dandruff shampoos even the expensive Nizoral, but everytime I stop using this over-the-counter drug, these unwelcoming white flakes keep on coming back. Well, not now. I’m dandruff free and will be pimple free after a few more KMW facial. ;)

I encourage every ladies to try this homemade facial and hair treatment because it’s not only affordable (super duper affordable), it’s also guaranteed effective. Here’s the instruction for the facial (for the hair treatment, just follow what I said earlier):

Use a shower cup or tie your hair so that it will never mess with the mayo on your face. Apply a medium coating of Kraft Miracle Whip on your face, spread it so that it will fairly cover your face but avoid the area near your eyes. You can also cover your lips if you want to have a soft kissable lips. Then leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Your face will feel hot, it’s because of the vinegar component of the Miracle Whip which I think also acts as the exfoliator. The burning sensation that you will feel is normal. But if you can’t stand it, better yet wash your face. After 15 minutes, massage your face gently after which you can see mini balls which consist of your dead skin cells and the excess Miracle Whip which was not absorbed by your skin. Rinse your face with water then you may continue with your usual facial regime. But I never used toner after it because the toner only made my face oily. So I leave it as it is after washing with my favorite facial wash.

So what are you waiting for? Try it now!
