BRAND NEW! (2009.01.29) 4 FACIAL MASK FOR CLEAR SKIN!
PLEASE CHECK IT OUT!




BECOME BEAUTIFUL WITH THE USE OF FRUITS!
hey everyone !
ive been reading soompi's " beauty & fashion " forum for awhile
but never really participated in anything.
but im here today to share some " natural " beauty tips for the face, hair, and good health
everything that i use is organic, cheap, and most important of all, it works !

" asian white/clear skin " seems to be the HOT TOPIC nowadays, but covering your face
with BB creams or heavy makeup everyday MAKES you have clear (no blemishes or scars)
but your skin is probably crying inside. so here are some " natural " tips for you to do at home
before bedtime to relax & calm down your skin from that tiring day !
p.s. my english might not be that great T_T but i hope you will all understand !


There are 4 main fruits that i will use:
1. Lime
2. Kaffir Lime (Citrus Hystrix)
* im not sure if you can find this in the US or not, but im pretty sure there are alot in Asia
click HERE for image !
3. Orange
4. Mango


THE POWER OF 'LIME'
Clear skin with the use of lime
1. prepare lime juice with "white clay fiber/soft-prepared chalk" (once again, im not sure if you
can find this in the US or not, but you may want to try in the Asian markets image here)
mix it together and let it rest for a few minutes then spread it lightly over your face, leave it over night
and in the morning, fash it off with luke warm water and you'll find that your face is so smooth, soft, and
clear (HUGE DIFFERENCE)
*this method is best for people with oily skin; and i would want to recommend this! ive been living in an
asian country for more than 10 years, so ive seen alot of my elders doing this & teaching this to the young ones,
this method is known as a traditional method for so long & it really works !!



2. And for those with dry skin, use one Avocado and blend it up with a blender then add lime juice (half of the fruit)
stir it up so the ingredients all mix. then add 2 teaspoons of honey, stir again. Then gently spread it across your face
(leaving the eyes out: the same way you do masks -_-;; ) leave it for 20 minutes. Then wash off with luke warm
water and then use your daily foam/wash afterwards. You'll find immediately that your skin is more moist & soft !!


3. Peel off one cucumber and then chop it into small pieces, then blend it along with one egg (only use the white egg)
in a blender. Then add a quater of the lime juice, stir it together. then mask your face gently with it for 25 minutes.
Then wash it off with luke warm water and daily face wash, you will discover that your face is smooth, moist, and clear!!


4. For those who can't find the white clay/chalk, you can simply just use lime juice, mix it with warm water, and wash
your face with it, and then finish by washing your face with cold water (cold water will help close your pores, while hot
opens up your pores) you will find INSTANTLY that this removes the excess oil from our face, showing our bright & clear
skin without the use of foundations or oil-control powder !




Beautiful Hair with the use of lime
other than making our face clear, did you know that a lime can help make your hair strong & healthy ? Looking after our
hair & scalp, the lime also decreases our amount of dandruffs !

1. Use 8 tablespoons of lime juice, mix it with half cup of clean water, stir it. use this water to message it on your hair. this
will help your relax because messaging our hair with lime juice encourages our blood stream & nervous system to flow.
leave it for 2-3 hours and then rinse off. This will help us get rid of the naughty dandruffs & make our hair silky, beautiful, and healthy!

2. stir 2 red eggs up until it becomes fluffy-like, then slowly add half teaspoon of lime juice, stir it together, and add a little bit of
warm water, stir it up. (now with your semi-wet hair) use this mixture to message it all around your hair for 2 minutes. and then
cover it with a shower cap, leaving it for 10 minutes. then rinse off with water. you will find that your hair is soft, more weight (not dry
& damaged as before) and also silky ! try it !



Become healthy with the use of lime
1. use equal amounts (this depends on how much you want to use) of lime juice, honey, and boiled-water, and stir it, and slowly
drink it little by little, brush your teeth & use mouth-wash afterwards (this is because the juice can sometimes make us have bad breath)
this water will help with detoxification (models, celebrities does this every morning!!) getting rid of wastes stuff from our body, making our
body clean & healthy. This will also be useful for those with a cold, coughing, or those who have a hard time going to the bathroom.
* i personally tried this & omgsh ... it works really good !! im on a diet now, so i drink this every morning, along with taking deep breaths
in & out (for alot of oxygen to get in your body) and eat non-fatty foods, i lost around 3.5 kilos (times that with 2.2 for pounds) in a week!
i didnt believe it at first but I HAD TO !! bc i lost 3.5 kilos in a week !! >_<; oh. but i didnt add in the honey. (just lime juice & boiled water)
bc i have acne problems & eating honey will increase the amount of acnes!

2. Only adding a bit of lime juice is your everday dishes will help you !
- lime slows down the process of old age (so no more wrinkles before age !)
- protects us from blood bleeding along teeths (some ppl really have this problem)
- clear & healthy skin !
- you feel fresh & happy !

_______________________________________________________


THE POWER OF 'ORANGE'
Clear face with the use of orange
1. clean our face with your regular daily wash and then use orange fiber to mask your face for 15 minutes.
gently use a damp clean cloth to wipe off the fibers. You do not need to wash your face off ! Instantly you will see that the orange
has brighten your face ! No need to use those heavy brightening makeup bases & foundation !

2. use one cup of orange juice, mix it with one cup of plain yoghurt, mask it for 15 minutes, rinse off with luke warm water & daily
face wash. you can see that your face is CLEARER, SMOOTHER, WHITER, and BRIGHTER.


Beautiful Hair with the use of orange
1. (FOR OILY HAIR ONLY: not recommended for those with dry, damaged hair) Stir one egg, add orange juice, and then message
it on your hair, leave it for 15 minutes, and then rinse off with clean water. your hair that used to be oily will not be oily anymore,
and the result that you will get is silky, soft hair !

Be Healthy with the use of orange
only you eat one orange everyday, did you know that it helps you:
1. prevent the chances of bleeding along your teeth
2. with better digestion
3. lessen our chances of getting kinds of cancer
4. prevents us from catching colds/fevers easily
5. an orange is best for people with dehydration problems
6. it lessen the amount of cholrestoral in our blood !!!

________________________________________________


THE POWER OF 'MANGO'
Clear face with the use of mango
1. cut up a ripe mango into small pieces, then use your clean hands/fingers to blend the mango into one mixture. mask this on your
face for 15 minutes, then rinse off with clean water. you will find that your face is brighter !

2. use pieces of rip mango to wash your face. then the mango's skin, chop it into small pieces, mix it with orange juice, blend it together
in a blender. Use this to mask your face before bedtime, leave it for 15-20 minutes then wash off with clean water. You will find that
your face is more softer, more tighter, and most important of all, you will fresh !


Become healthy with the use of mango
1. a mango seed can help cure diarhea and vomiting !
2. eating a mango can help you get rid of headaches, or dehydration
3. a mango seed, cleaned & dried, boiled with drinking water, will help you with stomaches! especially during a woman's menstrul cycle!

___________________________________________


THE POWER OF 'KAFFIR LIME'
* once again, im not sure if you can find this fruit in the states. but in asia, especially south-east asia, using Kaffir Lime is very popular
my ahjuma/aunt (nearly 60!) used kiffir lime to wash her hair everyday & she has so little white hair compared to other old-age people!
plus, her hair is so silky & soft !!

Beautiful Hair with the use of kaffir lime
1. cut the kaffir lime into 2, use it to wash your hair after you have wash the first time with your regular shampoo, then rinse it off. you
will find that your hair is soft, silky, and pretty =)

2. bake the kaffir lime in a stove, cut in half and then use it to wash your hair, this will help your hair be dark black (for those without hair
color) more silky, this also prevents us from having white hair before age, your hair will be soft, smooth, easy to brush, and it even
prevents hair fall / loss !!

Become healthy with the use of kaffir lime
1. if you are suffering from coughing, squeeze 5-6 droplets of kaffir lime into your throat for every 5-10 minutes. this will help with the
coughing alot !

______________________________________________


THE POWER OF 'MILK'
okay this one seems to be out of topic of the " Clear Skin With the Use Of Fruits "
but i just wanted to share this tip with all of you (credits: CHEEZE magazine URBAN MIX issue August 2008)

1. if you are a person who has dark eye circles, or have been crying alot lately so your eyes look all puffy,
use a cotton pad, dip it in fresh milk (yes, those cow milk that you drink everyday),
then put it over your eyes, leave it for 15-20 minutes. by doing this, the next morning
you will have no problem going outside & no one will know that you were crying all night !

______________________________________________________

UNSURE IF IT IS SAFE OR NOT ?
i understand ! i am a person who loves to try out different methods for myself to have clear skin too !
but sometimes the question " im not sure if its safe for my face or not ... " pops up! well here's a method for you to
test if you want to use it or not. Make a mixture of the fruit method that you want to use and then test it on your hand
if you see a difference then i guess you're quite sure that you'll use it on your face now! if not statisfied with the results,
then its up to you ^^ usually these methods dont affect you much. since its all natural. but i want to point out that using
alot of acid-high fruits (such as pineapple or too much lime) on face with acne problems isnt good. bc it will itch alot & its
not so healthy. so keep the ingredients according to the measurements.!!


Please try this at home & tell me the results !
& if you visited this page, at least say something T_T i spent alot of time
translating this all ....

yess ... that's the problem that im worried about
that most of you who live in the west wouldnt know where to find this T_T
so you have problems with large pores ?
the lime will help, but i'll search for more traditional tips for large pores
& i'll be sure to add it in here for you ! >_< just wait a bit !!

usually a mango seed is made into powder,

Okay, I've decided that I'll continually add facial/body care tips here
to share with everyone. Note that results differ! I will try to point out which method matches
with which skin type. & for method that ive personally tried myself, i'll also tell you the results!
So im back here with more facial (natural of course!) packs !
credits: ladytip.com


7 facial packs from 7 countries
How to achieve young, clear face, and no wrinkles before age techniques from each country!
1. FACIAL MASK WITH THE USE OF HONEY (From SPAIN)
wash your face with your daily wash. dry it with a clean towel. then use your finger to dip honey & message
it LIGHTLY on your face & neck for around 5 minutes. Stop messaging when you find that you can't message anymore
(the honey becomes too sticky). Leave it on your face for 15 minutes, laying down (NOTE: your head needs to be lower
than the level of your feet : for the blood to flow easily around your face & neck) Once you're done,
use a wet,warm cloth to wipe off the honey from your face.
* i personally wouldnt use this since i have acne problems, and eating or applying honey to it would make it worse.


2. FACIAL MASK WITH THE USE OF APPLE (From Belgium)
clean a apple, taking out the seeds & its peel. then grate the apple. once you have grated the apple, add honey into it
and then use this to mask your face for 20 minutes. once you are done, use fresh cold milk to rinse your face with it.


3. FACIAL MASK WITH THE USE OF WATERMELLON (From Turkey)
use the reddest part of the watermelon meat to slice it into thin pieces, then put it on your face, then use a white thin
CLEAN cloth to cover your face & watermelon. leave it for 20 minutes. then rinse off with cold water.


4. FACIAL MASK WITH THE USE OF WHITE EGG (From Switzerland)
stir the white egg until it becomes fluffy-like, and then use a soft, clean brush to apply it over your face & neck.
leave it on for 20 minutes (you will start to notice that the white egg is harden-ning) and then rinse off with cold water
* ive heard ALOT of positive feedback from this facial mask ! my classmates who have problems with pores (around
their noses) usually does this by dipping a cotton pad in the white egg, and then putting it over her nose, wait for it to
harden, then pull it off & instantly the black heads will come off, and it tightens our pores!!)


5. FACIAL MASK WITH THE USE OF LIME JUICE & HONEY (From France)
mix one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of lime juice , stir it. and apply it over your face (& neck) leave it for
at least 30 minutes, and then rinse off with warm water.


6. FACIAL MASK WITH THE USE OF TOMATO (From Japan)
Chop up one piece of thick tomato and rub it LIGHTLY around the areas on your face with blackheads, (the tomato contains
vitamin C and AHA acid that helps us get rid of the dead cells on our skin off) then use a cotton pad (dipped in cold water)
to wipe off the tomato from your face.


7. FACIAL MASK WITH THE USE OF YOGHURT MILK/YOGHURT (From Russia)
This works really well with oily skin !! wash your face with your daily wash. then apply VERY COLD yoghurt on your skin.
leave it on for 20 minutes & you will see that your oily skin will become soft & clear! This works most during the hot summer
days ! This also works for those of you that have pale skin, bc the use of yoghurt will help you bring back your healthy skin color !

the mango thing for your face.. when you eat mango and it gets on your face/skin, doesn't it get itchy? and won't it have the same effects? o_o cause i have to wash my face/skin after the mango touches it or when it dries, it starts irritating my skin
If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who already had 8 kids -- three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis, would you recommend that she have an abortion?

aww thankyou !
yes ,,, i was worrying about whether people could find that white clay fiber in the West or not
but maybe you could try searching it in Asian markets ?
they usually sell it with Thai buddhist places. this clay has been well known in Asia for so long !
and omgsh T_T im so bad at english... orange fiber as it, when you sqeeze the orange for orange juice,
you get this fiber thing from the orange meat right ? its this that im talking about... i hope you understand
if not, you can ask me again & i'll try my best to describe to you!

oh... then i think you're allergic to mango meat or the seed then.
because i get the same effect when i eat guava, my mouth area becomes itchy
and i would have to quickly wash it off.
then i wouldnt recommend the mango method to you then. ^_^
maybe try another fruit ?

first of all, i would like to kindly thankyou everyone who has commented
here & once you tried it, please share your results! negative or positive ! & i'll try to find more
beauty tips to share with everyone -3-

SALT IS MORE THAN JUST A FOOD INGREDIENT?
did you ever know that SALT, (yes your everyday ingredient that you put in your dishes) does
more than giving us a 'salty' flavor ? the answer is YES. not much people know the secret of salts
so i am here today to share these methods, for girls (and guys) to become beautiful in a natural
healthy way !

1. Curing dark circles under your eyes
mix one teaspoon of salt with 1/2 cup of warm water. dip a cotton pad or clean cloth and then lay
it gently over your eyes. leave it for 10-15 minutes. you will soon discover that the dark circles are
fading away ....

2. Get rid of the oiliness of your face !
first use a cloth, dip it in warm water and lay it gently over your face for 3-5 minutes (by doing this,
it will open our pores) then mix one teaspoon of salt with clean water in a water bottle (filled up) then
spray it gently across your face. then use a dry clean cloth to gently wipe off the water ! no more oiliness!

3. Moisten your skin !
mix 1/2 cup of salt with warm water in your bath-tub. then stay in your bath-tub for 10-15 minutes (read
a magazine if you'll get bored) then dry yourself with a clean towel. apply lotion all over your body. the
salt will help with those with dry skin !

4. Body Scrub for clear skin !
use salt to scrub your skin while showering with a sponge. the salt will help us get rid of the dead skin cells
on our body (that makes our skin look dark, dry, and DEAD!)
*ive tired this ! and it REALLY works. your skin becomes so smooth & soft T_T i love it !
i recommend you to do it once a month only. not too often. bc it'll damage the new skin cells

5. Tired from all that shopping ?
mix 1-2 tablespoons of salt with warm water, then dip both of your feet in the water, this will help you relax
from all that walking !
* this is a well known oldddddddd method that really works !

* so now i guess everyone needs a bottle of salt in their bedroom/bathroom dont we ?
