What does it mean to be a woman? Today, it is all about the empowerment, equality, and the strength that a woman oozes. A gracious being, a lady-like etiquette and a self-loving figure is the definition women stand by. One of the concepts about which they are strongly passionate is beauty and makeup. From all over the world, women have come up with beauty and makeup ideas that make them unique, different and very popular. Here is a list of some of the most exciting treatments.
- Milk & Honey Bath from Egypt
This treatment has its origins thousands of years ago when Cleopatra was ruling Egypt. She enjoyed milk and honey baths because it made her skin glow irresistibly. Today, you can make such a bath in your bathroom by mixing a couple of powdered milk and honey. However, natural honey can be quite sticky, so perhaps it is a better idea to use a soap made of honey. Enjoy in this bath for about 20 minutes and witness how your skin becomes silky soft.
- Bikini Waxing and Beach Sand Body Rub from Brazil
You have probably heard about Brazilian bikini wax where all the hairs from the intimate parts of the female body are removed. It is a very popular type of epilation and all beauty salons in the world offer that service. Another beauty treatment that also comes from Brazil is the body rubbing in beach sand which helps to get rid of the cellulite. No needles and no doctors are needed to remove cellulite, only a vigorous sand rub all over the body. In this way, the circulation is stimulated, and the cellulite is eliminated.
- Rose Water Facial Cleanser from Bulgaria
Bulgaria is known for the Rose Valley, where 85% of the global rose oil is produced. Bulgarian women even boil rose petals and use the water to clean the face. The benefits are enormous, a clean, blemish-free, moisturised skin that smells like a rose.
- Garlic Nail Polish from the Dominican Republic
It may come as a surprise but mixing some minced garlic in a clear nail polish creates an antibacterial nail polish that will strengthen the nails and harden them immensely. The negative thins is that it has a strong, unpleasant smell, but it will vaporise soon, and you will be left only with the benefits of it.
- Oatmeal Facial Mask from Russia
A very popular recipe that all Russian wives know is to soak two tablespoons of oats in warm water and leave it to sit for approximately 10 minutes. After that, a teaspoon of lemon juice and a tablespoon of olive oil is mixed and added to the oatmeal. The paste that is created should be applied to a clean face and remain on it for about 10 minutes. In the end, the face is rinsed with lukewarm water, and the result is a 10-year younger look of the face.
- Coconut Oil Hair Moisturiser from India
The silkiest hair in the world belongs to Indian women. So, what is their secret? Well, for thousands of years, they have been using coconut oil as a hair moisturiser. Here is how to improve the texture of your hair and make it the silkiest it can ever be. Since the coconut oil in standard room temperature is in solid condition, heat a tablespoon of it and when it gets liquid apply it on your hair, massaging it from the root to the tips. Then leave it for at least an hour and wash it off with a natural shampoo without any chemicals in it that will strip away all the oil.
- Orange Juice Pore Shrinker from Costa Rica
Huge pores are horrifying; it is something that most women are afraid of when it comes to skin imperfections. If that is the case with you as well, try the very famous Costa Rican recipe: mix orange juice with water in ratio 1:1 and with a cotton ball dab it on the problematic face areas. Wait for a couple of minutes and then rinse it off.
- Beer Hair Rinse from Germany
Of course, the next beer beauty treatment comes from Germany. Germany is a place where the most significant number of beer drinkers live besides Ireland. Hence, beer was found to be extra beneficial for the hair. What you need to do is mix a bottle of beer with lukewarm water in the same amount and transfer the liquid mix into a spray bottle. Then, spray all of the hair with it and wait about 20 minutes. Then wash it off. The hair will be healthier and glossier. This is especially good for dry hair.
- Mud Bath from Israel
The Dead Sea is famous for many things, among which is that it is filled with rich natural minerals. This fact is widely used by the Israeli women who rub the mud all over their bodies, let it dry and then take a dip in the saltiest sea in the world. It does wonders – it removes all toxins from the whole body and leaves the skin glowing. Unfortunately, mud from the Dead Sea cannot be shipped in other parts of the world, so if you have the chance to visit it, don’t miss it. Otherwise, look for products that contain minerals from the Dead Sea and get closer to the whole experience.
- Salt Foot Rub from Turkey
Cracked, rough and very dry skin on the feet has found its saviour. It comes in the shape of rubbing mixture made from coarse sea salt and some skin lotion. You should vigorously rub it on the feet, and Turkish women say that the skin’s condition improves immediately making the feet very smooth.
