A recipe for a homemade anti-fungal cream? While it may sound like your uncle, who believes in the power of garlic and silver water, suggested this recipe to you: toenail fungus and dandruff have a lot more in common than you might think. Both problems are caused by microscopic fungi — mainly yeast-like creatures of the Malassezia genus, which feed on the oils on our skin.

In a world where retinol reigns as the holy grail of skincare, an ancient star is quietly making a comeback with icy elegance – aloe vera. Gentle yet powerful, with a thousand-year herbal history, but now in a whole new – refreshingly icy guise. Its ice cubes are becoming a viral hit, and for good reason. It’s one of those DIY beauty tricks that isn’t just Instagram chic, but actually works. And yes – they offer many of the benefits we usually attribute to expensive retinols: even skin tone, lighten age spots, smooth wrinkles and deeply renew skin.
If your energy had a color – what would it be? As dazzling as a sunset or as calm as a morning mist? Would a hot coral shade or a deep midnight purple describe you?
Busy schedule? Is your nail polish half-faded? Are your nails shapeless, your skin dry? Lifeless heels? Nothing new. But that doesn't mean your feet can't look neat, soft, and flawless - even without a visit to the salon.
Is it possible to stay in shape after the age of forty? Is it possible to shape your body without strict diets and extreme exercise regimens? How to maintain vitality and radiance without giving up everyday pleasures? Many people ask themselves these questions, but some already know the answers.
In a flood of beauty trends promising eternal youth, it's refreshing to stumble upon something... well, completely ordinary. Carrots, that humble orange food we mostly associate with soups and rabbit, hold a very special power - the ability to stimulate collagen production, smooth fine lines, and restore the dewy glow we once attributed exclusively to adolescence (or Instagram filters).
In a world where beauty products often cost more than a monthly subscription to all streaming platforms combined, something incredibly simple and almost ridiculously cheap is making a comeback: rice water. This cloudy liquid, which most people unthinkingly pour down the drain while cooking, is proving to be a real secret weapon in the fight against acne, dull skin, enlarged pores, and signs of aging. Women in Asia have been using it for centuries, from Japanese geishas to Korean beauty gurus, and now this minimalist routine is taking the Western world by storm—and for good reason.
In a world where a skincare routine is often as long as an episode of a Turkish soap opera and almost as expensive as a weekend in Portofino, many people ask themselves: do I really need seven steps to radiant skin? The answer is delightfully simple: no. Sometimes the best solution is the one we find in our own kitchen — without the hassle, without the lab-made ingredients, and without the feeling of having to check our bank account balance after every use.
Sometimes you look in the mirror in the morning and your face looks perfectly fine. But then... you notice them. Those little, white bumps that aren't pimples or blackheads. They don't itch, they don't hurt, but they're there. A silent reminder that despite your nightly routine, serums, and thorough cleansing, your skin is still not perfect. At first, you think they're just ordinary blemishes. Maybe even fatigue. But then you take a closer look. And you quickly realize: these are no ordinary skin blemishes – they're milia.
Vaseline and potatoes - natural Botox for your home bathroom? No, it's not an urban myth, but a simple but effective trick that even one of the Japanese beauty gurus would approve of.
Nails that are yellow, thick, brittle or give off an unpleasant odor are often a clear sign of one of the most stubborn and annoying problems: nail fungus. Anyone who has ever encountered them knows that they don't disappear overnight - and especially not without effort and patience. Pharmaceutical solutions are often expensive, time-consuming and full of ingredients that sound like they came from a science fiction novel. But what if we told you that you can completely naturally and without side effects step on the toes of these annoying microorganisms - with the help of two basic kitchen ingredients?
Are you one of those people who thinks to themselves every time you look at a selfie: "Oh, those teeth could use a little more whiteness"? Then read on.
