Beauty Tips From Around The World

January 12, 2009




Every culture has their own age-old tips to natural beauty. These tips are fun and have been passed down for generations. Here are some practical beauty tips from all around the world.

China: A tsp of rosemary oil mixed in a cup of green tea is a good conditioner for the hair. It makes the hair really shiny. White tea is the anti aging secret formula in China. It is also known as an emperor tea. This tea comes from the tips of the green tea plant and is harvested for about four days. White tea also acts as a shield which can not be penetrated by the free radicals.

Italy: Teenagers in Italy apply Castor oil on their eye lashes so as to prevent them from breaking.

Brazil: Brazilian women are seen rubbing sand on their bodies on the beaches. This is because it helps with cellulite and activates the skin which leaves it smooth.

India: Almond pulp and yogurt serves as a beauty mask, which cleans the face off dirt and dead cells. It is spread on the face and is left for 25 minutes and then washed off. Coconut oil in India is a way for thick and shining hair. Hot oil massage on the scalp is performed by Indian women once every week. This helps in sealing the cuticle and the split ends and makes the hair thicker and healthy.

Poland: Honey is being used as a beauty product since the early ages. When applied warm on the face, it gives an extra moist facial treatment. It also softens the lips.

Egypt: People of Egypt keep their teeth white and healthy by applying a combination of baking soda and coarse salt. It is applied with the finger and then left to set a minute.

Australia: Avocado rubbed on rough spots gives flawless feet.

Scandinavian: Women of Scandinavia drink about 1.5 liters of pure water every day and splash ice cold water on their face about 15 to 20 times, twice in a day. This method is good as it encourages the skin to function on its own. The iced water prevents puffiness on the face as well.
