Thanks to the so-called “beauty food” you can make a lot of progress in terms of beauty. But not only internally, but also externally, some foods can help against all kinds of ailments.

How to apply nice cream

Real beauty comes from within! But you can give yourself a helping hand with this. Some foods you don’t necessarily have to eat for them to deliver results. You can also rub certain foods on your skin. These foods contain certain vitamins or substances that revitalize your skin. Eating a lot of fruit and vegetables in particular pays off, and you will see that!

Make your own beauty mask!

Helps against oily skin

Clean your face with yogurt, low-fat milk or lemon juice.

Helps against dry skin

Full-fat cottage cheese or milk are good for dry skin. Apply this to your skin. Leaving a ripe banana on your face for 20 minutes can also do wonders. Bananas also contain substances that prevent skin aging! Then rinse your banana mask with lukewarm water and pat your face dry.

Miracle masks against acne

A miracle cure for acne, for example, is a green clay mask! It soothes the irritation of inflamed wounds, reduces redness and prevents your skin from shining again. You can find green clay powder in health food stores, among others. You simply mix a little powder with pure water to form a paste. Apply it to your face, wait until all the clay has dried and then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Another thing you can try is a yeast mask. You can buy fresh yeast at a small bakery. This is not expensive at all. A rough estimate is 0.20 for 50g. You don’t need anything other than pure water. Mix the yeast and water together until it becomes a spreadable paste. Please note that the first mask will make your acne slightly worse because it will “pull” the sebum from your skin. But the more often you use a yeast mask, the less your acne will become. It’s worth the try.

A good skin cleanser

Milk and butter are good skin cleansers. Put it on a cotton pad and run it over your skin. Then wash your face with lukewarm water. Pat your skin dry.

Avocado mask

An avocado contains good fatty acids. Crush the flesh of a ripe avocado and add a tablespoon of olive oil, a dash of lemon juice and a tablespoon of yogurt. Apply this to cleansed skin so that the mask can do its work properly. Let it sit for 20 to 30 minutes. Then rinse it off with lukewarm water and pat your face dry.

To put in your bath water

Do you want soft skin? Then dissolve some honey and milk in your bath water! 1 cup of liquid honey and 1 liter of milk will do the job. Don’t forget your (own) bath salts. Thanks to the salt, your skin can cleanse itself properly. So add a good 500 grams of table salt to your bath. Stir everything well and relax for at least 20 minutes. Then rinse yourself well. You can of course also bathe in a special skin cleanser. Citrus fruits, but especially lemons, provide this. Use 3 lemons for this. Cut them separately and boil them in half a liter of water for about a few minutes. Now you can flatten the lemons with a slotted spoon. Let this water stand for 6 hours. Then strain the lemon water and add it to your bath water. Lie here for at least 20 minutes if you want to get results. Or do you suffer from chapped skin? Then simply pour half a liter of apple cider vinegar into your bath water and mix it together. It is best to leave it in for 20 minutes so that your skin can recover.

A few more simple, dirt-cheap tricks

• Against dry lips: generously coat your lips with honey or fatty butter.
• Make your own peeling for super soft skin: heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil with a pinch of salt. Massage your face with this. Rinse with lukewarm water.
• Against the itch of a mosquito bite: rubbing a sugar cube soaked in vinegar over the bite will make the itching go away.
• Tired eyes: melt 2 ice cubes in a mixture of 1/2 cup milk and 1/4 cup water. Soak 2 cotton pads in it and let them rest on closed eyes.
• This is how your cream can work so well: scrub the skin that you are going to apply afterwards, so that your cream can work so well.
