BEAUTY CAN COME OVERNIGHT

The other day I purchased one of those magazines you see in the checkout lane of the grocery store.  The one with the lady on front that says "lose 100 pounds by tomorrow with our fat flush" and 100 other little blurbs on the cover.  As I was perusing I came to a beauty section that had a bunch of overnight remedies to help your skin and hair while you sleep.   Here were a few of my favorites!

 WHEAT GERM OIL for your double chin.

Wheat Germ oil helps boost circulation and keeps those bloaty fluids at bay while you sleep. The vitamin A also helps encourage collagen production to help firm up the skin. 

DIRECTIONS:  Massage a small amount of oil from the bottom of your neck up to your chin . Rinse off in the morning.

CASTOR OIL  to help volumize thinning hair.

Castor oil is rich in fatty acids, and absorbs into strands overnight, plumping them for a more voluminous look in the morning.

DIRECTIONS:  Apply a tablespoon of Castor oil and massage into damp hair.  Sleep on old towl to avoid staining. Shampoo out and style as usual in the morning.

COCONUT OIL helps with cracked heels!  The lauric acid in coconut helps moisturize your parched skin and the vitamin E helps to repair cracks. 

DIRECTIONS: mix a tablespoon of coconut oil with a few drops of Lavender essential oil. Mix well, apply to heels and cover with a pair of socks.  Rinse off residue in the morning for baby soft feet!

JOJOBA AND ALOE to help with nail breakage.  Aloe helps create a protective layer over cuticles,  and jojoba moisturizes and fortifies nails. 

DIRECTIONS: mix equal portions of aloe vera gel and jojoba oil together, and rub over nails and cuticles.  Cover with cotton gloves until morning. 

 

Want more youthful looking eyes?  Try a satin mask!  Satin doesnt absorb moisture like cotton does, and keeps it where it belongs, helping plump fine lines and crows feet.  It also doesn't absorb any eye cream or serums you have applied

.

Want shinier hair? Cover your head with a satin head scarf at  night! The wrap helps protect your hair from frizz and  breakage.  Dont like wearing things on your head at night? Use a satin pillowcase to help reduce friction so hair stays smooth.

 Sleep on satin sheets for a sweat free night.  Satin material helps regulate body temperature and helps stop those late night sweats!
