Practical Uses of Vaseline

Vaseline is an ideal product to use for skin care, and you might also be familiar with a couple of its other practical uses. Because of its softening properties, Vaseline has been found to be handy for a multitude of applications, including cosmetic, beauty and home purposes. 
Important: Since Vaseline contains petroleum oil, which is a by-product of the oil we use for our cars, excessive use of the product may not be good for your health, so make sure you take the necessary safety measures.
For a more natural alternative to this product, you may even try the homemade version of Vaseline, which does not use petroleum.

Health Benefits Of Pineapple

Benefits For Skin

1. Effective Solution For Acne

This exotic flavor is like an elixir for our skin, especially to get rid of stubborn pimples. How? Well, the presence of vitamin C (thus, the tartness) in pineapples enables this fruit to be used, internally as well as externally, as a cure for acne and other inflammatory skin conditions. Also, bromelain, the anti-inflammatory enzyme in this fruit, boosts the healing power of vitamin C. So, the next time you fall prey to acne, try using pineapples.

2. Helps Your Skin Look Younger

All you lovely ladies who want their skin to be even and supple, include this exotic fruit in your grocery list. The scientific reason why pineapples make our skin awesome- this fruit gives the collagen synthesis in your body a boost. The higher the collagen synthesis is, the firmer and more flexible your skin will be. Plus, the added nourishment comes from the presence of amino acids and vitamin C, which ensure that the damaged cells and tissues are repaired quickly. You can see instant effects after applying freshly prepared pineapple juice on your face and washing it off using tap water after 10 minutes.

3. Natural Exfoliating Agent

In order to exfoliate your skin, you can use freshly crushed pineapple wedges. This particular surface has a rough texture that eliminates the dead skin and accentuates blood flow. This, in turn, makes your skin look brighter. 

4. Get Rid Of Those Cracks On Your Feet

Another of the most common problems that make us depend on those commercial creams. But, pineapple skin is the most inexpensive (well, if we take off the price of pineapple), yet effective method to make them vanish. The exfoliating property of pineapple, along with its collagen synthesizing nature, makes it an excellent natural scrub for your feet. It helps in sloughing off the flaky, calloused skin of the feet, leaving them smooth, soft, and pretty. The inflammation and swelling, triggered by the cracks, also get relieved.

5. Softens And Strengthens Nails

Cracked Feet- some simple remedies

Wintertime can be problematic for your skin, especially the skin on your feet. In fact, cracked feet are a winter problem that many people suffer from. This ailment is characterized by dry, hard and thickened skin around the rim of the heel. Although cracked feet can affect anyone, it is tends to be more common among elderly people, or those who suffer from eczema or diabetes.
The skin on our feet is mostly dry because there no oil glands present in that area of the body. However, overexposure to cold weather, lack of moisturizing, low humidity, certain medical conditions and prolonged standing can all lead to dry and cracked feet.
Keeping your feet crack-free this winter is easier than you think. With just a little care, you can ensure that your feet stay soft and smooth. Here are 10 great ways to keep your feet healthy this winter:
 1. Warm Water Soak
A warm water soak once a week will keep your feet crack-free throughout the year, and especially in winter. By soaking your feet, it makes it easier to remove hard skin that builds up on your feet and heels over time.

Method
1. Add some liquid soap to a tub filled with warm water.
2. Add a handful of sea salt to it.
3. Soak your feet in this solution for about 20 minutes.
4. After soaking, use a pumice stone to gently scrub off the loosened dead skin cells.
5. Rinse your feet with clean water and pat dry with a soft towel.
6. Apply some foot cream and put on a pair of clean socks.
7. Use this remedy once a week.
2. Oil Massage
If you regularly develop dried and cracked feet, it is very important that you massage them regularly with some oil. The oil will keep the hard skin moisturized and improve blood circulation. For massaging, you can use massage oil on its own, or mix it with some other oils for added benefits.
Method
1. At night before going to bed, wash your feet in warm water.
2. Dry thoroughly, especially between your toes.
3. Massage your feet and heels with olive, coconut, or almond oil - or a mixture of these - for 10-15 minutes.
4. Put on some clean socks and go to bed.
5. Continue to do this throughout the winter months.
3. Brown Sugar Scrub
The small granules of brown sugar work as a great scrub for your feet. It helps to scrub away any dead skin cells so that the skin on your feet remains soft and healthy. furthermore, brown sugar contains glycolic acid that can help fight off any bacterial infections.
Method
1. Mix 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1/2 a teaspoon of lemon juice to form a thick paste.
2. After having soaked your feet in warm water for 10 minutes, apply this paste to your feet..
3. Rub the paste around in circular motions until the sugar granules have melted away.
4. Wash your feet with warm water.
5. Repeat once a week.

4. Castor Oil 

Castor oil will soften and moisturize your feet - it penetrates deep into the skin and therefore it helps restore the moisture and adds softness to the skin.
Method
1. Apply a thick layer of castor oil to your feet and cracked heels.
2. Put on some socks and leave overnight.
3. The next morning, rinse it off with lukewarm water.
4. Do this daily.

 

5. Glycerin
The glycerin that you have in your cabinet can do wonders in keeping your feet crack-free and soft throughout the harsh winter months.
Method
1. Mix together equal amounts of glycerin and rose water.
2. Rub this solution on your heels and feet before going to bed at night.
3. Put on some socks and leave the solution on overnight.
4. The next morning, rinse your feet with lukewarm water.
5. Do this each day throughout the winter.
6. Paraffin Wax
If you already have cracked and sore heels then paraffin wax is just what you're after. This wax acts as a natural emollient to soften your skin. Furthermore, the heat of the wax opens up skin pores and improves circulation.
Method
1. Melt one block of paraffin wax in a double boiler.
2. Add two tablespoons of mustard oil or coconut oil to the melted wax and mix well.
3. Allow the mixture to cool down (until a thin layer forms on the top).
4. Dip your feet in the mixture, wait 5-10 seconds and dip again. Repeat this five to six times.
5. Cover your feet with plastic wrap for 30 minutes. You can put a pair of socks on if you wish.
6. Remove the plastic and peel the wax off your skin.
7. Repeat this treatment once or twice a week.
7. Water Intake 

Water intake is important for maintaining healthy cell metabolism. A dehydrated body can lead to dry skin and it cannot repair existing skin damage. If your skin isn't getting enough water, it will become tight and less resilient, which means that your feet will become more prone to cracks and fissures.

• Drink a lot of water throughout the day. A good rule of thumb is to drink enough water so that your urine has little to no color.
• Along with water, add water-rich fruits and vegetables to your diet.

​8. Fruit Packs
You can prevent and treat cracked feet with homemade fruit packs. For example, ripe bananas, avocados and papayas are considered effective home remedies for cracked and dry heels thanks to their moisturizing properties.
Method
1. Apply the pulp of a ripe banana or avocado to the cracked parts of your heels and feet.
2. Leave for 10 minutes, then wash off with lukewarm water.
3. Do this a few times a week to enjoy soft and smooth skin.

9. Vitamin E Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that protects skin cells from harmful free radicals that are produced by the body and other environmental sources. This vitamin helps repair the skin and works wonders when treating and preventing cracked feet.

• Rub pure vitamin E oil on your feet each night before bed.
• Include foods rich in vitamin E in your diet - green vegetables, nuts, fortified cereals, and whole-grain products.

​10. Vitamin C
Just like vitamin E, vitamin C protects the skin from free radicals. this water-soluble vitamin is also crucial in the production of collagen, which is required for healthy skin.

• Eat foods high in vitamin C including citrus fruits, such as oranges and grapefruit, strawberries, tomatoes, cauliflower, red peppers and pineapple. In addition to this, include Omega-3 and zinc-rich foods in your diet. Some great sources of these nutrients include fatty fish, oysters, flax seeds, walnuts, and fortified cereals.
• You can also take a supplement (consult your doctor first).

​Additional Tips

• Since healthy feet start with good hygiene, make sure to keep them clean and dry all the time.
• Don't use products that contain alcohol, as it will further dry out your skin.
• Avoid using hot water for bathing, as it removes oils from the skin.
• Always wear properly fitting shoes to allow your feet to breathe.
• Prevent heat loss from your feet by wearing good quality socks.
   
• this is only for your information, kindly take the advice of your doctor for medicines, exercises and so on.
