BEAUTY in THE KITCHEN

We mostly see them in our kitchen. Some are cooked and some are used for food enhancers. But never did we thought that these could be used as beauty enhancers as well.

These stuffs indeed, may be used as beauty supplement- naturally and organically. 

Listed below are 7 Foods that you could serve dual purpose and you may leverage to not just improve your body but also your face:                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

1. Strawberries

It isn’t a secret that berries contain antioxidants which are good and essential for body nutrition. But using berries as facemask can be its second purpose. It is said that these berries contain three wonderful elements. Anthocyanin is a strong powerful antioxidant to keep your face away from radicals. Strawberries also contain ellagic acid which combats wrinkle formation. Also, some essential fatty acids serve as moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated all the time.

2. Eggs

Eggs may be used as ingredients for cakes, pastries and other recipes. But eggs can also be a secret ingredient to beauty. Yes, simple eggs can be simple treatment to anti-aging. Egg whites contain two

vital skin care ingredients such as the collagen and protein. When used as mask, these help the skin lessen inflammation and improve fine lines. This also tighten pores and maintain skin elasticity, reducing appearance of wrinkles.

3. Lemon juice

Enriched with vitamin C, lemon juice can be added to any facial mask. This will bring out the natural
glow of your skin, tightens up pores and brighten your skin. Lemon juice can also be used to treat skin disorders.

4. Bananas

Yes, there are plenty reasons why we should eat bananas. But, there are number of reasons as well


why we should use banana as a beauty product. Bananas can be an amazing ingredient to mash up and mix with a homemade mask. Bananas contain antibacterial material to get rid of blemishes and hydrate the skin.

 5. Oats

Oats are hypoallergenic. You can directly apply them into the skin without any reaction. In nature,

oats are colloidal which are same features that baby products have. With the fat content that oats have, these help moisturize and hydrate the skin. One cleansing factor that oats contain are the saponins. These help remove excess oil and dirt. With its slightly rough texture, oatmeal are good all natural scrub and exfoliator. Most skin care products contain oats because of the antimicrobial ingredient it has. This prevents the spread of bacteria which causes pimple and skin irritations.

6. Yogurt 

With the probiotic materials it has, yogurt help get rid of pimples and blackheads. Moreover, yogurt has lactic acid that makes the skin glow and fresh young looking. Yogurt can also cure skin swelling

because it has zinc which contains anti-inflammatory particles.

7. Cucumber

Cucumber is both good for the eyes and skin. It can be a good natural eye pad for its cooling effect
that helps in reducing swelling around the eyes or those dark round circles under the eyes. Having that same hydrogen level, cucumber can be used to soften and soothe the skin for better relaxation.




It still pays to go natural. And natural would mean being resourceful too. Beauty cannot be only seen in commercial beauty products but can also be found in the four corners of your home- IN YOUR KITCHEN.
