Table of Contents
For many of us, keeping up with fashion trends and updating our closets can get pretty expensive. This is especially true for most new mothers whose extra ‘girlie-shopping’ money now has to be siphoned into the baby care budget. So why not try these easy tips to help us look fashionable and stylish for free!
No matter how young or mature we are, we all want to have beautiful skin. Regular trips to the salon for facial treatments might burn a hole in our pockets. So, why not try these easy home remedy – simple and home facial treatments to help combat our skin problems?
Being in my fifties, I sometimes reminisce about how easy things were when I was young. I had less things to worry about, had more energy and time to socialise and have a good time…late nights and all. And after all that, my tired skin seemed to jump right back to life in just a couple of days.
The fact is, no matter what our age is, we all have different lifestyle and habits, not to mention commitments and responsibilities – and these will take a toll on how we look and the way we feel.
We also have our own skin problems to deal with; acne and scars, blackheads, large pores, wrinkles and more. That’s why it’s important to set a little time to take care of ourselves – especially our skin because it’s the first tell-tale of how tired we are (and our age!). This weekend, chill and relax at home as you pamper your skin with these home remedy skin care treatments.
Problem areas – Tired and dull-looking skin
Get refreshed and glowing skin with this remedy. Turmeric contains curcumin which has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It also promotes production of collagen and keeps the skin supple and glowing.
Simple & cheap home remedy: turmeric
1 tsp turmeric powder, 4 tbsp chickpea flour, milk or water
Method:
Mix turmeric powder with the flour and add enough milk or water to form a paste. Apply the paste over (cleansed) face and neck, and leave it on for 20 minutes. Then wash and rinse with room temperature water.
Problem areas – Blemish and acne scars
Simple & cheap home remedy: oats
Honey, dry oats and aloe vera gel

Additional Advice:
When you have any acne or pimple breakouts, delay using any scrub products – this may aggravate the condition and spread bacteria to other part of your face. Once the breakout has subsided, then continue with your weekly facial scrub routine.

1 tsp green tea powder and water

Combine 1 tsp green tea powder with some water to create a paste. Apply on (cleansed) affected area and leave it on for a couple of minutes and then gently massage it for another couple of minutes. Finally, wash and rinse with lukewarm water.
