Honey Mask
Recipe
The best facial mask is honey. Place
a cloth in warm water and apply to your face to open
the pores. Smear on honey, and leave on for 15 to 30
minutes. Rinse off with warm water, then use cold
water to close the pores. Use once a week.
Miracle Whip
Exfoliator
(By Victoria, Anti-aging Beauty Tips)
"Yes, I am talking about the same
Miracle Whip your Aunt Mable uses in her macaroni
salad. Apparently, women all over the US are using
this salad dressing ingredient on their faces to
remove dead flaky skin.
I have not tried it myself, but supposedly, KRAFT
MIRACLE WHIP Exfoliating Facial makes an amazing
treatment for normalizing over-oily skin.
Here is how you apply this "miracle cream":
Make sure all your hair is pulled back from your
face. Apply a thin layer of the KMW all over your
face, up to the eyelashes and make sure to also put
some on your neck. The "fumes" from the vinegar may
bother you so walk around the house to try to escape
them. LOL!
Leave on for 10 minutes, then massage gently. The
dead skin cells on your face will roll off in
rubbery little balls. Rinse your skin with tepid
water, then cleanse as usual following your regular
beauty regime. If you apply the KMW every day, in
6-8 weeks your skin should be completely renewed.
I cannot help but wonder if this Miracle Whip eats
away at the dead skin cells on your face, what does
it do to the inside of the body when someone eats
it?? Pretty scary!!! One person believes that the
vinegar in the Miracle Whip is what causes the
exfoliation and rejuvenation. If that is true, why
not try a mixture of organic apple cider vinegar
with some olive oil, apply that and see what
happens? One could whip together the olive oil and
apple cider vinegar, apply it to their face and then
use the leftovers on their salad!
I think I will start experimenting with some
ingredients and try to come up with a facial recipe
to rival the KRAFT MIRACLE WHIP!"
Special Note from Lucie (site owner):
"After reading Victoria's email
about the Miracle Whip beauty trick (the above
is an excerpt from that email), I bought a small
jar of Miracle Whip. I applied a slighter
thicker layer than was recommended and the
vinegar smell was unpleasantly strong.
After a minute or two, the Miracle Whip 'melted'
and my face was very shiny and oily (yuck!).
After 10 minutes, I washed the Whip away and I
couldn't believe the results. All the flaky dry
skin was gone and my skin felt tight and smooth.
Very strange!"
