These days the price of beauty is really very high.  Specialized stores tell us that for a real effect we have to pay a high price. But let’s return for a moment to the time of our grandmothers, who were able to help themselves to perfect beauty even with little money.

Homemade cosmetics

Specialists in beauty who sell their overpriced products hide from us that around us we have many helpers that often have even better effects for little money. 
Our grandmothers know many home helpers that will save us money and bring us perfect results.

Perfume for the whole day

If you desire to scent yourself in the morning with your favorite fragrance and have it last all day, Indulona will again be your helper. Just apply Indulona to the places where you perfume yourself, such as the neck or wrists. Then spray your perfume on these places and it will smell all day. 

White teeth

Walnut shells will again be your helper; just grind them into a fine powder. Then add it to the toothpaste you usually use and brush your teeth. You will remove plaque and whiten your teeth.

Calluses, cracked heels and corns

For these problems we need 10 aspirin tablets and 250 ml of Alpa. Crush the aspirin and mix it in a sealable container with Alpa. 
Let the mixture stand for two days, just tap it occasionally so the aspirin dissolves better. 

Then fill a bath and add this mixture. The mixture will actively act on the affected areas.

Eyelashes

Before you apply mascara to your eyelashes, use baby powder. Thanks to that the lashes will be thicker and longer.

Hair

Dry hair

If you suffer from dry hair and split ends, Indulona is your helper. 
It is enough to apply Indulona to your hands and after washing your hair lightly rub your hair. Avoid the roots and scalp, but spread the cream along the entire length of the hair and especially on the ends.

Strong hair without gray

Walnut shells will help you with this problem. If you make a decoction from the shells, use it to rinse your hair. You will stop hair loss, strengthen it and restore color to grayed hair. 

You can also create a mask from the decoction, which you can apply to your hair and leave to act intensively for about 20 minutes. 

Shiny hair

If you mix hydrogen peroxide in a 2:1 ratio with water and apply it to the hair, you will obtain beautiful shine and strength of the hair.

Oily hair

Add a teaspoon of salt to your regular shampoo and wash your hair as usual. Hair will be more voluminous and will become less oily.

Dandruff in hair

Mix 1 part vinegar and 2 parts water. Put it in a spray bottle and apply to the hair.
The same solution will also help to clean pores and the skin.

Skin

Add crushed walnut shells to a facial cleansing gel. Your pores will be clean, your skin radiant, healthier and perfectly cleansed of make-up.

Another helper can be hydrogen peroxide, which destroys bacteria on the face, inflammations and pigment spots. 
Mix a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide with water in a 1:1 ratio. Use the solution the same way as a facial toner. 

Wrinkles

2 teaspoons of gelatin, 4 teaspoons of warm water, 2 teaspoons of lemon juice

Mix these ingredients and you will get a collagen mask, which apply to a washed face and let it act for 15-20 minutes. Then rinse the face.

Wrinkles and skin

Mix ½ cup of hot water with 2 tablespoons of potato starch and a little moisturizing cream. Apply to the face and let it act. Finally rinse with water. Repeat the procedure 2x a week. 

Skin – yeast

Dissolve half a cube of yeast in a bowl with a little honey. Then apply the mixture to the face with a brush and leave it to act for 20 minutes. Then wash it off.

Mask for acne

Mix yeast with water until a pasty mass forms. Apply this mass to the areas where you are troubled by acne. Leave it on for 10-20 minutes depending on skin sensitivity and then wash.

Dark circles under the eyes

Soak a piece of cotton in chilled cow’s or goat’s milk. Place the cotton on the eyes and leave it to act for about 15 minutes. Relief will come immediately. At the same time it will give the eyes and the skin around the eyes strength to regenerate. 

Tired skin

If you are troubled by tired skin on your face use an apple and oats. Blend the apple together with the oats and apply the resulting mixture to tired and irritated skin. Leave the mixture on for 20 minutes and then wash it off. 

Dark spots on the skin

For this problem honey, lemon and sugar will help. 
Mix 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Massage the mixture into the dark spots and leave it to act for about 15 minutes.
