Lighten Your Skin Naturally With Safflower Oil

In my recent YouTube video below, I discuss the amazing benefits of safflower oil for anti-aging of the skin. One of the many benefits of using safflower oil on your skin is that it can help fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots and lighten your skin. It does this by blocking the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase which is responsible for the melanin production in your skin. Melanin is what gives your skin pigment and reacts to UV exposure. Safflower oil has been shown to work as well as Arbutin for lightening the skin. So if you are looking for a natural alternative to the skin lightening products that contain harmful chemicals, like hydroquinone, then you absolutely must give safflower oil a try. Learn all about this amazing natural beauty product for your skin and body in my video below. Please share this video and remember to subscribe to my YouTube Channel for more helpful beauty tips!

Amazing Benefits of Witch Hazel for Skin

Witch Hazel is a natural topical astringent which is made from the bark and leaves of Hamamelis virginiana, also known as the North American witch-hazel shrub.  It has long been recognized for it's medicinal properties to treat skin all kinds of skin afflictions and irritations including pimples, acne, poison ivy, bug bites, bruises, diaper rash, sunburn, undereye bags and more. It is a very popular natural cleanser and toner for the face helping to heal and shrink pimples and acne as well as unclog and shrink pores. It's the high concentration of tannins in witch hazel that make it such an excellent astringent for the skin.  Witch Hazel removes the excess oil and dirt that can settle on the skin and clog pores but it won't strip or dry out your skin. With regular use, witch hazel can help prevent pimples, blemishes, and black heads from forming. To learn more about this amazing natural astringent, please see my YouTube video: 16 Beauty Hacks - One Amazing Natural Product 

No home should be without witch hazel because you will find so many uses for it. The brand I recommend is by T.N. Dickinson's because it is 100% Natural Witch Hazel with a very small amount of natural alcohol used as a preservative. Many of the brands you may find in the drugstore have isopropyl alcohol or synthetic alcohol in them and can irritate or dry skin. See you on YouTube!

Tip for Itchy Eyes and Lids Caused by Makeup Residue

Next time you notice that your soap and water or your makeup remover didn't clean off your makeup entirely, here's a tip for you. Apply a small amount of baby shampoo to a cotton ball and cleanse your eyelids. Baby shampoo will not sting your eyes so you can lather up right in between lashes if you need to to remove makeup residue left behind from mascara, false eyelashes, eyeliners and eyeshadows. The residue and other allergic debris that can gather there can cause irritation, redness and itching. This is also great for people who have bacterial eye infections. When my children were small, I contracted conjunctivitis from them. I used baby shampoo to cleanse my lids each morning. Then splash with warm water until all soap is washed away. It is very important to remove your makeup each night before bed to prevent skin and eye irritation. So please do not go to bed until your skin in clean. This is also the best time to apply facial moisturizers. While we sleep our bodies do a lot of repairing including smoothing wrinkles and healing dry skin. So don't miss out on your nightly rejuvenation by blocking your pores with dirt, oil, and makeup. See you on YouTube, YouTips4U

How to Make Your Own Homemade Blackhead Removal Pore Strips

Our pores get clogged with oils and dirt and dead skin cells. That mixture gets trapped inside our pores and gets hard, often causing what looks like a black dot or blackheads. Sometimes blackheads also trap bacteria and can lead to the formation of pimples. I have a great natural solution for unclogging your pores and removing those unwanted blackheads - using a pore strip regularly on your face on the areas where you have blackheads. However, pore strips you buy in the drugstore, such as Biore, are quite expensive. I have a terrific recipe that you can make in seconds to remove blackheads and it works just as good as the drugstore brand. It uses unflavored gelatin and milk. You mix the gelatine and milk together, heat it and apply to your blackhead areas. Please see my video for step by step instructions and how it works on YouTube. Here is the link for you: Make Homemade Blackhead Removal Pore Strips -- A Natural Treatment, Prevent Acne, Unclog Facial Skin.  You will love this treatment! It costs pennies for the ingredients and it really works. Not only does it remove blackheads, but it leaves your skin smooth and helps to tighten and shrink pores. You'll love the results! See you on YouTube, -YouTips4U

Wonderful and Natural Acne/Pimple Cure

I have a wonderful tip for you on how you can help heal your acne. This treatment targets your entire face all at once, not just individual pimples and it's called Steaming. I recently uploading a video on YouTube on herbal steam inhalation to help remedy coughs, colds, and chest congestion. Inhaling the steam that rises off of a pot of boiling water containing tea bags (eucalyptus, chamomile, and ginkgo biloba) helps heal inflamed lung tissue, thin mucus, and soothe nasal passages, but it also does something else that's absolutely wonderful: it gives you the smoothest, most glowing healthy skin. If you are doing this treatment solely for your skin, you may use just the chamomile tea bag in the pot of boiling water. Chamomile has antibacterial and antiviral properties and when soaked into the skin through hot steam, helps to open and unclog pores and heal acne. The results are amazing! You do have to do it consistently; I would recommend at least once per day for best results. After as little as three days you will see improvement in your acne. You will see improvements to you skin quality almost immediately, and it feels so wonderful and relaxing. For information on how to do this wonderful natural skin and acne treatment, please see my video on YouTube. Here is the link for you: Herbal Steam Remedy Treatment for Coughs, Colds, Chest Congestion, ACNE/PIMPLES & Glowing Skin

I really hope you will make this a regular part of your life. You will love the effects on your skin. I promise!

Wash Your Makeup Brushes to Help Prevent Acne

If you take good care of your makeup brush, they will last you a long time. I always recommend natural bristle brushes, both for hair and for makeup. Natural bristles are more pliable and hold powder better. Washing your makeup brushes is very helpful if you suffer from acne breakouts because it helps remove the pimmple causing oils and bacteria that can naturally build up on your brushes from repeated use. That bacteria can remain on your brush and then get spread around your face. For best results always use your makeup brushes on clean dry skin. If any of your pimples are oozing because you just picked, avoid touching it with your makeup brush. As least once a month, you should wash your brushes with a clarifying shampoo. Massaging in between the bristles with the lather. I recommend a clarifying shampoo because it has less moisturizers to remain on your brushes and rinses clean. Rinse them well and shake them out over your sink. Lay them flat on your counter on a towel and let them air dry. If you see you have any bristles that are popping out from the rest, simply trim them off. Once they are dry you are good to go.

Best Way to Cover Your Pimples and Zits

Break outs and blemishes happen and thankfully there are products we can use to cover them up. Unfortunately, many times covering them up can make them look worse. Here are some tips to help you hide your pimples beautifully.

Your acne is red and swollen and covering it up only makes the bumps look bigger. What you can do is apply a heavy concealer that is a shade lighter than your skin. Try to select one that has ingredients like aloe to calm swelling and salicylic acid to heal blemishes. There are quite a few of these on the market. Apply your foundation, then dot a small amount of concealer on top of the pimple. Blend the edges with your finger or a sponge.

Your pimple has gone away, but you now have a dark spot and it shows through when you cover it up. Select a foundation that adjusts to the color of your skin to even out your skin tone. These are light and lovely. Then apply a stick concealer to the dark spot that matches your skin tone to lighten the dark mark. Blend the concealer with your finger until it disappears into the foundation.

You have whiteheads which can be difficult to cover. Your best bet is a mineral concealer made of loose particles that reflect and diffuse light to take attention away from the white center. Simply apply your regular foundation, then dip a concealer brush into the pot of loose concealer and brush it directly on top of the whiteheads and blend outward. Add a little extra to the white center of the whiteheads.

You skin around your pimple is flaking and concealer just gets caught up in it making your face look cakey. First wash the flaky area with a gentle exfoliating cleanser, Neutrogena has a great one for sensitive skin, or use a wash cloth to gently slough skin. Smooth on an oil-free moisturizer. Then dab a thin layer of foundation onto the pimple and blend. Repeat application of thin light layers of foundation until the pimple is covered.

Remember, you don't need to apply foundation all over your face, only to the areas that you feel need evening out. Only wear makeup and concealer, etc. when you need to face the world. If you are just hanging out at home, keep your face makeup free and just treat pimples with a benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid pimple treatment. Be sure you wash your face every night before bed. Sleeping with makeup is the worst thing you can do for your skin. Apply acne treatment before bed each night. That's the best time to heal your skin as your body goes through great repair when sleeping. Also, stress causes breakouts. Try to minimize the stress in your life by practicing relaxation, getting enough sleep at night, exercising, and maintaining a healthy diet with as little processed foods as possible. Processed foods are often high in salt, sugar, and fat; all bad for your skin.

Help for Clearing Your Skin of Pimples

Hi YouTips4U, I hope you can help me. I wash my face three times a day and I have used so many different cleansers, but my face still breaks out with pimples. What should I do different?


YouTips4U: Using many different cleansers on your face just may be the cause of your problem. When you stop one cleanser and start another, very often you are swinging your skin between getting better and getting worse. You are never really giving your skin condition a chance to clear. In this case consistency would benefit you. I recommend that you stick to the same routine for about 2 months to give your face a chance to replace all the old infected skin cells with new ones. Wash your face twice a day with a cleanser that contains salicylic acid, then spot apply a benzoyl peroxide pimple treatment product to your pimples. The salicylic acid will help to unclog your pores and the acne treatment will help to kill bacteria and heal the pimples. If you have sensitive skin which is prone to dryness and redness, instead of using a cleanser with salicylic acid, I recommend you use a mild cleanser such as Purpose Soap-Free Face Wash, but do still spot treat your pimples. Also, you do want to pay attention to your diet. Foods high in fat, refined sugar and refined carbohydrates can contribute to breakouts, so keep your diet low fat and your carbs complex (whole grain). Exercise is another great skin healer. Exercise brings blood to your face and improves circulation and healing. Exercise will definitely help clear up your skin.

How to Prevent a Cut, Wound, Pimple, or Acne from Scarring

The best way to promote healing of a cut or wound and to prevent it from leaving a scar is to keep it covered with a band-aid. Place a bit of anti-biotic ointment on the cut or wound to help keep it moist and keep it covered with a bandage, gauze, or a band-aid. It used to be thought that a cut needs to breath to heal and therefore you should uncover it and keep it open once a scab is formed. This is no longer thought to be true. The skin actually heals better and faster when covered and keeping your wound covered also helps prevent bacteria from getting in and causing an infection. Think about how many times you've knocked a scab off that was healing nicely. This can cause even deeper scarring where you would only have had a minor mark; so be sure to keep it covered until the scab comes off if it's on a part of your body that you want to minimize scarring.

This is also a wonderful way to heal acne on your face if it was perhaps picked too much and now you have a bleeding spot on your face. I know you did it accidentally and didn't mean for that to happen. The same treatment I described above of covering with a bandaid and keeping moist will help heal your pimple quickly while minimizing any scarring. I understand that you may not want to walk around all day with a band-aid on your face, but overnight while you sleep is a fine time to use this method to help it heal. It will look so much better the next morning. Remember, it's best not to squeeze your pimples!
