{ Beauty & Health- Did You Know?}

Did you know that sugar is a better exfoliater than salt?
The reason for this is that it's more gentle so it doesn't tear the skin. Dead skin cells need to be scrubbed off regularly so grab 2 Tbsp sugar and 3 Tbsp warm water and mix it until sugar melts, then apply gently to face and scrub. Rinse with warm water.



Did you know that coffee can be used not to only wake up your body, but also your skin?
Coffee masks are a popular thing because coffee has the magic stuff that seems to decrease the puffiness in the face and brighten your complexion!
Mix this mixture up in your own kitchen and see your face change from a dull color to a clean shiny color within minutes:
4 Tbsp of any kind of coffee that you have on hand
4 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
8 Tbsp dairy product (your choice of milk, yogurt, etc.) Optional substitute: egg or olive oil
2 Tbsp honey (for dry skin) or lemon juice (if you have oily skin)


Did you know that an average human being loses about 40 to 100 strands of hair per day?

Did you know that laughter reduces stress?

Did you know that it's possible to die from a broken heart? There is even a medical term for it, Stress Cardiomyopathy.

Hope you enjoyed these little tidbits of information and I will be back with more some other time. For now take care and enjoy the last few weeks of summer vacation! 


Stay Smart...
