Homemade Spiders Solution

Mix:

  • Shake it well before using.
  • Spray this spider solution around anywhere: window frames, doors (inside and out), small cracks, walls, bathrooms.
  • Do it once a week during winter and twice during summer.


Peppermint essential oil might smell amazing to people, but spiders are not big fans of this smell. In fact, they hate it so much they can’t even get close to it.

How To Get Rid Of Dark Spots On Your Face III: For age and sun spots



For Age And Sun Spots: 

 

Mix:


  • Mix 1/4 cup of homemade rose water, a teaspoon of lemon juice, and a tablespoon of aloe vera together.
  • Then add an essential oil like frankincense to your mixture. 
  • Apply after your cleansing routine as a toner before you moisturize.

 

Why It Works:

Rose water is rich in vitamin C, balances pH levels, and because it's a natural anti-inflammatory it's not only going to work to lighten your dark spots, it's going to treat existing pimples as well. 
Lemon juice has been addition to toners, cleansers, and exfoliates because of the bleaching properties. Using lemon juice on its own can result in additional pigmentation problems, so adding this vitamin-C packed fruit to rosewater is a great way to get the bleaching benefits without going too overboard on skin lightening. 
Aloe vera contains an incredibly high amount of vitamin E, literally one of the most popular and effective ways to remove scars, and naturally restores skin's pH level.

How To Get Rid Of Dark Spots On Your Face: Hormonal Melasma mask



For Hormonal Melasma: 

 

Mix:


  • Start with 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of nutmeg, 1 tablespoon of coconut milk, and add 2-3 drops of clove essential oil. 

  • Leave the mask on your face for at least five minutes and rinse off with luke warm water. Be sure to apply a moisturizer with UV protection.


Why It Works:

Brown sugar is high in glycolic acid, which is known to improve melasma and often found in pricy chemical peels for that very reason. 
Coconut milk is high in lactic acid, another great way to treat melasma. According to DermNet NZ, both lactic and glycolic acids are able to remove the topical layer of infected skin and promote tyrosinase activity. Tyrosine not only helps pigmentation and melanin, but according to the University of Maryland Medical center, it regulates hormones as well. 
Clove essential oil is well-known in the homeopathic community for balancing hormones and it won't cause further pigmentation issues when applied topically. 

This mask requires diligence and time, so repeat daily on makeup free skin for best results.

Homemade coconut butter

Instruccions:
  • Put  a cup of coconut oil, a teaspoon vitamin E oil and if you want a few drops of your favorite essential oils for fragrance.
  • Mix them, but do not melt the coconut oil first. It will only whip up if it’s solid.
  • Process it for 6-7 minutes on high speed or until whipped into a light, airy consistency.
  • Pour into desired container, seal and label. 
  • Store at room temperature, or in the fridge if your house is so warm it melts the oil.

Note: An electric hand mixer will work, but a blender or food processor will not work with this coconut oil recipe, because they tend to warm the oil too much and prevent it from whipping up.

Your whipped coconut oil should stay relatively soft, even at colder temperatures. If it’s really cold, it will become a little more solid, but not rock hard like it normally does.

Love it!
