DIY Ice Beauty Secrets
Is cold weather giving you the beauty blues? Don’t fret! Chapped cheeks aside, it turns out ice is your new beauty BFF! Sometimes a chilly rinse or frozen facial is just what the doctor ordered when things begin to dull during a long cold winter. Icing your skin is believed to improve circulation as well as ward off wrinkles. Plus, it’s refreshing after spending a day with your radiators on blast. Here are a few tricks to try with ice the next time you’re snowed in!
Holding ice on a pesky pimple is a no-fuss way to get the red out. Ice decreases inflammation, and can even relieve the pain associated with acne. Wrap a cube in a ziplock baggie (a rough towel can break tender skin), hold against the affected area for five to ten minutes, and tell that zit to chill!
Rough night? Reach for an ice cube while you wait for your morning coffee to brew. Wrapping a cube in a washcloth and holding over the eyes can reduce early morning puffiness, and make you look and feel more alert. For a stronger effect, freeze cubes of caffeinated black tea, or store sliced cucumbers on ice to keep you feeling fresh.

Layer Your Liner
If your skin is on the shiny side, stop by your local Starbucks, grab a handful of those brown napkins, and shove them in your purse. They work better than any blotting papers I've used and they're free. And, don’t feel guilty about pilfering from the coffee conglomerate. If they're charging four bucks for some java and steamed milk, they owe you a shine-free face." Image:Source
6 tips to avoid limp and frizzy air-dried hair.
Air-drying is so darn alluring. All you need to do is towel off, walk out the door, and let Mother Nature do its thing, right? Well, not so much. Heat-free might be easy, but it doesn’t always look so great. In fact, without the right prep, it usually ends up looking limp, frizzy, or plain old blah. To unleash your hair’s natural bounce and glory, follow these air-drying best practices.
As it turns out, the fibers in most bath towels can leave hair frizzy after all that rubbing and twisting to get rid of excess water. Even worse, the weight of a towel turban can pull on your roots, which tends to promote breakage. To cut down on drying time without sacrificing body and bounce, use an ultra-absorbent towel to remove excess moisture.
