What's Hidden in Your Kitchen

It's another morning, you're tired, unmotivated, and feeling a little dull. Before you begin your day, you stop at a restaurant.  You order a beverage, whatever the server recommends to make you feel and look more awake. Hoping for your normal tall coffee with extra espresso  your server comes back with three small drinks consisting of cabbage water, a yogurt-cucumber combination and a side of honey-tomato juice. Maybe not exactly what you had in mind.

But this server knew her stuff! These odd mixtures are actually some of the best ways to make you look and feel more awake (and don't worry, you don't have to drink them). By applying these directly to the skin, you can brighten up your complexion in a hurry. 

The following are a few natural skin tips that will keep your skin glowing all day long:

• Boil Cabbage, strain the water into a bowl and use that water to wash your face with your usual cleanser.
• Mix yogurt with cucumber water, apply it to your face evenly, and wash off.
• Pour coconut milk into a class and apply it to your body. Before applying it to your face, mix with red sandalwood powder to create an exfoliator. 
• Combine one teaspoon of vinegar with one teaspoon of rosewater. Let sit on your skin for 10 minutes, then wash off.
• Try one teaspoon of honey mixed with one teaspoon of tomato juice. Let sit on your face or body for 10 minutes then wash off. 

While these concoctions may seem strange at first, they surely will help you on your way to creating a gorgeous natural glow. These little mixtures can do what your regular coffee or caffeine boost would never be able to. So try it-- brighten up your morning with a few simple ingredients from your kitchen!
