Every day, the cosmetics industry sends dozens of new products to the market that promise us perfect skin, perfect hair and a perfect figure. In the flood of creams and shampoos made from ingredients that we can't even pronounce, we should often be reminded of our grandmothers' beauty tips, which are not only cheaper, but also a simpler and proven more successful alternative.
For shiny hair: Apple cider vinegar
Shampoos and conditioners can help you wash your hair for beautiful shiny hair, but what will really help is washing your hair with a mixture of apple cider vinegar and cold water at the very end. After such a wash, the hair will not only be shiny, but also much softer
For chapped lips: honey
It is famous among bees as a real medicinal and nutritional treasure. And supposedly, no label or store-bought salve will heal chapped lips the way honey will. Apply it on from the cold dried up and damaged lips (after moistening them with water) and wash off after fifteen minutes. And try to hold back on the licking in the meantime, of course!
For soft skin: milk bath
The secret to soft skin is Cleopatra already knew: milk and honey. Even our grandmothers have known for centuries that for silky soft skin we only need a few deciliters of milk, which we pour into the bath, with which we sometimes have to cuddle.
For dark circles: chamomile tea bags
Of course, we all know the cooling effect of cucumbers, but our grandmothers also helped themselves with puffiness around the eyes and dark circles in another way: with cooled filter bags of chamomile tea. It will be in a few minutes feeling wonderfully fresh around your eyes, and the dark circles are less noticeable.
For more shiny hair color: coffee for dark hair and chamomile for fair hair
If you think it's yours color faded, you can make it shiny in a completely natural way. Dark-haired women will emphasize the color if you wash your hair with cooled but strong Turkish coffee, and blondes with equally cooled chamomile tea.
For cellulite: coffee massage
You can use the coffee grounds left after your morning coffee already in the shower. After softening the skin with hot water, apply to areas with cellulite a mixture of olive oil and coffee grounds and massage into the skin with circular movements. Take at least 5 minutes: swimsuit season will thank you.
For split ends and dry skin: olive oil
Olive oil is probably the most nutritious thing that can be found in the kitchen. Our grandmothers, who are their own, already knew this diligently pamper skin and hair with this rich oil. For dry areas, it is only necessary to rub some oil into the skin, and for split, dry and straw hair, it is best to wrap the hair in which you have rubbed olive oil in a towel for an hour or so before washing.
