When you think of beauty tips and tricks, your bathroom medicine cabinet is probably the least likely place you look. However, what you find inside may surprise you. There are so many spa type treatments right in your own bathroom.

The first thing to consider is your complexion. Whenever you have a really big date, does it seem like you get a huge pimple? If this happens to you, your skin can be acting to stress. If you need an emergency facial, you can just visit a spa. However, they can cost a lot of money. They also use up a great deal of time. Instead, apply a little dab of hydrocortisone cream (used for rashes and poison ivy) to the blemish. By nightfall it will disappear substantially if you dab some cream on in the morning.

You don’t have a problem with breakouts? You shouldn’t worry because there are also medicine cabinet beauty tips for you. You can try some vitamin E oil capsules cut open. A lot of people take these supplements daily for many different types of diseases. Vitamin E capsules, when cut open, can be an instant scar and wrinkle treatment. Vitamin E works just as good as those expensive anti-aging creams that have it in them also.

Do you want a new gentle toner? You can use distilled witch hazel. All too often, the really expensive products you buy at the mall can actually dry out your skin or even cause it to redden. Witch hazel mixed with some water then put on a cotton ball will accomplish the same thing, just in a gentler manner. If you have ever had hemorrhoids or laryngitis, you may have used witch hazel for either one. Now it can also be used as a beauty treatment!

Naturally, you should test these treatments out before using them. When putting a new substance on your face, you must always be careful. Just put a little bit on the inside of your wrist or elbow. You need to leave it there for about 24 hours. If you don’t see any redness or irritation, you are good to go.

So you should always be on the lookout for beauty bargains in different places. You will be completely surprised at what the contents of your medicine cabinet holds. You can use these beauty tips to give yourself a spa experience any day you like in your own home.
