You can use ingredients you will find in the fridge and kitchen cupboards and make your own home made beauty recipes to get beautiful and healthy-looking skin and hair. Following beauty tips will show you how you can be a natural beauty:

Exfoliate: Mix together a tablespoon of plain yogurt, a few drops of honey and a teaspoon of granulated sugar. Rub the mixture gently over your face to exfoliate and get rid of dead skin. This procedure will make your skin glowing. Rinse well.

Face Mask: If you have dry skin, mash up a quarter of avocado with two tablespoons of honey and an egg yolk. Spread it over your face ( avoiding your eyes) and leave for about fifteen minutes before rinsing with warm water.

Eyes: To get rid of dark circles around eyes, cut a fresh fig in half and place the halves over your eyes for 15 minutes while lying on your bed and relaxing. For tired eyes, enjoy the cooling effect of rose water cotton pads. Aloe vera juice is also very soothing so you can mix rose water and aloe vera juice.
hair:For smooth silky hair, mix the yellow part of the egg in a cup of warm water, then add olive oil( 1 teaspoon). Use this mixture after you have shampooed your hair. Let your hair imbibe the proteins. Rinse off after 10 minutes. If you want your hair to shine like diamonds, the best homemade beauty recipe Ican advice, is beer. Wash your hair every fortnight with beer and rinse well.

Dark circles can be a result of a number of factors, including fatigue, anemia, poor digestion and lack of fresh air. Dark circles can also be hereditary. If in doubt, consult your doctor for advice. Take steps to ensure that you’re cutting out the cause-for example, getting a good night’s sleep and keeping to a low fat, high-fiber diet really helps reduce black circles under the eyes. Listed below are some home remedies for dark circle.
Home Remedies for dark circles:

• Make a paste of tomato juice, lemon juice and gram flour.Apply this paste the morning, 15 minutes before taking a bath. Both tomato and lemon have bleaching quality. So does Milk.My skin is extra sensitive, and I feel burning sensation, after applying tomato and lemon paste, so I use milk instead of tomato and lemon juice.

• Put potato or cucumber slices on your eyes and lie down for a few minutes. Potatoes and cucumber reduce puffiness around the eyes. Caffeine has the same anti inflammatory effect, so you can put squeezed and cooled tea bags too.

• Apply almond oil daily before going to sleep. Gently apply the oil in circular motion.

• Sometimes tiredness and lack of sleep causes dark shadows under the eyes. To remove this effect, take cotton pads, dip in rose water and place on your eyes.Your eyes will feel rejuvenated and refreshed.

• For special occasions, you can bathe the area with pads soaked in ice-cold water for 15 minutes.This will help lessen the shadow effect temporarily. Or cover dark shadows by dotting on some concealer over the affected area.
• Vitamin A is good for eyes, so try including vitamin A rich vegetables in your diet.

Try not to strain your eyes. I have noticed that whenever I watch too much TV ( which is quite often), I get dark shadows under my eyes. So stressing or straining your eyes can cause dark circles.
