Pamper Yourself for Free

For dark circles and puffiness under the eyes, grate a chilled potato then place inside a small piece of cheesecloth. Apply underneath the eye for 10 minutes. The coldness brings down the swelling and hydrates the skin so you don’t see any ridges and dark circles under the eyes.

For tired-looking skin, make your own astringent with a bottle of club soda with squeezed lemon or lime. Mix ingredients then dip a cotton ball in the solution and apply on face. You will immediately feel your skin tightening and your pores closing in. It’s a great way to perk up skin and to remove excess oil.

For warts on your fingers or at the bottom of your feet, take a piece of duct tape, apply it and leave it on for about two weeks. You will notice the wart starting to shrink down.

For inflamed skin, make a cold compress with ice and equal parts of milk and water . Apply this to the skin with a soft cloth until the coolness is gone. Remove, and then repeat three times before rinsing off. This remedy works because milk contains protein and has a good pH.
