3 Surprise Beauty Tips from Your Medicine Chest

When you think of beauty tips and tricks, your bathroom medicine cabinet is probably the least likely place you look. However, what you find inside may surprise you. Your medicine cabinet contains a ton of really great spa-quality treatments.

Look at your complexion, for example. Whenever you have a really big date, does it seem like you get a huge pimple? Your skin could really be reacting to stress, in this case. You can visit a spa for an emergency facial. Nonetheless, these can cost you over 100 dollars. They also use up most of your day. Alternatively, you can put a dab of hydrocortisone cream (for rashes and poison ivy) to the pimple. Put some on in the morning and it will dramatically fade by that night.

You don’t have a problem with breakouts? Well, don’t worry, there are also medicine cabinet beauty tips for you. You can try some vitamin E oil capsules cut open. Vitamin E can help those with cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer’s and sickle cell anemia. Vitamin E capsules, when cut open, can be an instant scar and wrinkle treatment. Vitamin E really is a great topical healer and its contained in nearly all proven anti-aging creams.

Looking for a gentle toner? Try some distilled witch hazel. All too often, the really expensive products you buy at the mall can actually dry out your skin or even cause it to redden. Witch hazel mixed with some water then put on a cotton ball will accomplish the same thing, just in a gentler manner. Witch hazel is often used for hemorrhoids and laryngitis. Now it can also be used as a beauty treatment!

Needless to say, testing out new treatments before use is a really good idea. When putting a new substance on your face, you must always be careful. Put a small dab on the inside of your wrist or elbow. You need to leave it there for about 24 hours. If you don’t see any redness or irritation, you are good to go.

You should really be on the lookout for beauty bargains in the oddest of places. The contents of your kitchen and bathroom could be very surprising. You can use these beauty tips to give yourself a spa experience any day you like in your own home.
