WHAT A.. WONDERFUL MEANS There is another way to always stay beautiful without spending huge amounts of money. When you go to the pharmacy for nasal drops, pay attention to the simple pharmacy assortment - often behind a modest package lies great potential. Take note, just be sure to consult a doctor before use, just in case you have any individual contraindications. 1. Hydrogen Peroxide A well-known disinfectant and deodorizing agent, absolutely harmless and can be found in every home. We clean our ears with it and apply it to cuts to stop bleeding, but it turns out it can also be useful for our appearance. If you are removing blackheads at home, do not forget to soak your skin well with hydrogen peroxide beforehand. It loosens the stratum corneum of the skin well, making them very easy to bring to the surface when pressed along with the entire core. After removing this impurity from the skin, wipe these areas again – this way you will close and disinfect the pores, and the next day there will be no traces on your face. Did you unexpectedly run out of deodorant? – wipe your armpits with hydrogen peroxide, it won't reduce sweating, but the smell will certainly be absent for a long time. By the way, if you want to extend the action of your deodorant for a couple of hours, for example, if you have a long journey ahead, and to definitely stay fresh, this advice will help too. Just apply the deodorant to dry skin. And if you have no cosmetics on hand, hydrogen peroxide will come to your rescue. Hydrogen peroxide can replace lotion and toner, as it cleanses excellently, tightens and whitens pores. Suitable for any skin type, and for oily skin, it is just perfect, as it reduces sebum secretion and can be used daily. 2. Badaga Among all masks with the addition of hydrogen peroxide, the mask with badaga is the most famous. The freshwater sponge known as badaga, in powdered form, is sold in almost every pharmacy. Many believe that peeling with badaga is not much inferior in effect to salon procedures. In principle, this is true, but there is one downside – badaga, with prolonged use, causes hair growth. If you already have facial hair, then masks with badaga are not suitable for you. Admittedly, this is a minor drawback. And if you have no contraindications, then badaga can magically change your skin. The upper layer of dead cells is almost completely removed after several masks. And in this layer, there are blackheads, comedones, and various pimples. It is better to do such masks if you know that you won't be going anywhere for the next 12 hours, as your face will be red like a Native American. In short, just mix the powder with hydrogen peroxide and apply it to damp skin after a minute. To reduce redness faster, you can then apply zinc ointment. After this, for 3 – 4 days, the skin may peel, and as soon as everything recovers, you can do such a peeling mask again. A course of masks is always better than just one. But here you decide for yourself how many you need based on the condition of your skin. 3. Calendula Tincture Calendula tincture is absolutely necessary in every first aid kit. It has been proven to be more effective than iodine preparations for treating wounds and cuts, as calendula has a unique ability to accelerate tissue regeneration, reduce inflammatory processes, and promote wound healing. If this remedy helps heal boils and ulcers, it will definitely get rid of acne. I generally consider calendula tincture the best lotion. If you are afraid of alcohol, dilute it with water in a 1 to 1 ratio. Also, calendula tincture dries out the scalp well, and if you periodically rub it in, your hair will get dirty noticeably less. For strengthening hair, you can add castor oil to the calendula tincture. You should rub it in for a month, and it helps well with seborrhea. 4. Levomekol The domestic ointment "Levomekol" has quite a strong anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial action and is active against various microorganisms (staphylococci, pseudomonas and intestinal bacilli). If you have a cut, burn, a boil, you picked at your face, or feel a pimple forming, this ointment can help you. Apply it in a thick layer to the affected area until it passes. And it usually passes quite quickly after using it. 5. Salicylic Alcohol and Salicylic Ointment The component of almost all anti-acne and anti-seborrheic products, salicylic acid, dissolved in alcohol, is sold in every pharmacy. If you have acne, blackheads, pimples on your back, very oily skin, or problems with keratolysis – this remedy is for you. I recently read that a study was conducted in America on the most effective remedy for acne and pimples. Americans concluded that salicylic acid is still the best-known solution and consider it almost a panacea for all skin problems. One of my friends effectively fights blackheads by using salicylic ointment every evening after wiping with hydrogen peroxide. Salicylic ointment acts more gently than alcohol and effectively exfoliates dead skin cells. I warn you – salicylic alcohol dries the skin very much, so apply it only as a spot treatment. By the way, salicylic acid dissolves only in alcohol, so it’s unclear how it gets into alcohol-free lotions. Also, salicylic acid prevents the appearance of calluses and thickening of the skin, so after a pedicure, apply it to your heels and other problem areas. 6. Zinc Ointment Zinc ointment is an anti-inflammatory agent that has drying, adsorbing, astringent and antiseptic effects. After cleansing your face, apply zinc ointment to the skin for acne and any inflammation. Again, if a pimple is starting, apply it to that spot at night, and by morning, there will likely be no trace of it. It’s no coincidence that zinc is included in the composition of widely advertised products for problem skin. But they are expensive, while the ointment is cheap. Furthermore, to avoid irritation after hair removal in the bikini area, apply zinc ointment for a few hours. Usually, one application is enough to forget about this unpleasantness until the next procedure. Have you had a pedicure at home or in a salon and want to maintain the effect longer? Just periodically apply zinc ointment to your feet and heels. Proven. 7. Apilak (available in the form of ointment, candles, dietary supplements) “Apilak” is a patented preparation based on bee royal jelly, produced by a Tallinn pharmaceutical plant. It has been available since Soviet times and has helped many generations of people. “Apilak” is a tonic, adaptogen, biogenic stimulator of metabolic processes, and a source of amino acids, a bunch of vitamins, and macroelements. The range of diseases for which it is prescribed is huge. “Apilak” is often prescribed to children with a lack of appetite, to people in the recovery period after surgeries and stresses, and as an adjunct in the treatment of infertility. The ointment in combination with Badaga is part of the treatment course for seborrhea and neurodermatitis, and after a month of use, it reduces skin oiliness, lowers the number of inflammatory elements, and alleviates itching. For oily, problem skin on the face, it is beneficial to apply “Apilak” to the skin thickly at least once a week. If you have chronic fatigue syndrome, heavy physical or mental loads, or just want to perk up, taking “Apilak” is one of the safest ways to do so. It is sold in every pharmacy and is inexpensive. 8. St. John's Wort Oil, Chamomile, Nettle, Burdock Oil, Castor Oil All these oils are not scarce, are affordable, and nourish and restore hair very well. I recommend buying them all and doing hot wraps with them in turn. Usually, the oil is packaged in small glass bottles, I just place them in a glass of boiling water, and after a minute, I apply the heated oil to my hair. Do this twice a week. 9. Epsom Salt (also known as magnesium sulfate or magnesia) A well-known remedy among hypertensives and people with liver diseases. As far as I know, magnesium is used in ampoules by ambulances for rapid blood pressure reduction. But for our purposes – achieving grooming and health – we will need magnesia in powder form. It is packaged in bags of 100 grams and costs around 10 – 12 rubles. If you need to lose weight urgently, literally in one day, a bath with the addition of 1 kg of magnesia will help you. The effect is based on removing excess water from the body. The bath is beneficial for people suffering from edema, as it helps the kidneys cope with the load. For psoriasis patients, such a bath will also greatly ease life, as it cleanses the skin well. A bath with Epsom salt will be beneficial for people with problematic skin on their body, acne on their back and chest, and simply anyone wishing to cleanse the body. Just don’t overdo it, a bath with magnesia can be used a maximum of once a month, as it is a very strong remedy. 10. Cosmetic Clay Everyone seems to know about clay (white, green, blue, etc.). And I think everyone knows that clay masks, baths, and wraps really work. Be sure to buy a couple of packs if you haven't tried them yet. White clay is better suited for dry skin and hair, green for problem skin and oily hair, blue is generally suitable for everyone. Of course, ordinary cosmetic clay is not as effective as, for example, Moroccan or the kind sold in Indian stores. But the price is different too. 11. Sulsen Paste Known to our parents, the hair care product Sulsen paste is an emulsion based on selenium disulfide. This disulfide is a sebo-regulator and has anti-dandruff effects. Sulsen paste can help you if you have dandruff, dull, split ends, or if your hair gets oily quickly, splits, or falls out. The sulfur in the paste strengthens and firms hair from the inside, making them look thicker after use. It helps wonderfully if you want to increase the interval between hair washes. Personally, I can confirm – hair stays fresh longer and shines beautifully. 12. Romazulan “Romazulan” is an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory preparation consisting of an extract of chamomile and chamomile essential oil (live azulene). Anyone who, like me, is a fan of chamomile scent will surely be delighted by this preparation. The beauty of “Romazulan” is that it can be added everywhere: to baths, shampoo, homemade soap, shower gel, and masks. It can be used as a lotion for oily, problem skin, and for any skin inflammation, gum diseases, and even as a deodorant. Just imagine that when literally one gram of azulene is added to cosmetics, it already has a healing effect, and here how much of it is in a 100 ml package. I believe “Romazulan” should be in every woman’s beauty care kit. 13. Herbal Ice Cubes! Chamomile, succession, jojoba oil, olive oil! And put it all in the freezer! And in the morning, wipe your face with a cube! It becomes fresh, rosy, and soft! And in general, during the day, if your face is tired, it’s worth wiping it, and the fatigue disappears! 14. Aevit A super remedy for wrinkles. Apply to the skin around the eyes. Capsules cost 34 rubles. It is vitamin "A and "E" together, apply in the morning and evening under the eyes. Or you can apply it just once a day, keep it for 2 hours, then it absorbs, or you can dab it with a napkin. If at home, you can walk around like this all day! Good effect. Use for 2 weeks, then take a break. 15. Blefarogel No. 1 (price about 150 rubles) — contains hyaluronic acid. For “bags” under the eyes. Apply thickly 3 times a day and certainly at night generously, after a few days the swelling should subside and wrinkles should disappear. You can also try castor oil. Apply in the morning for 2 hours after the gel (lifting effect). You can go even further and purchase pure hyaluronic acid in ampoules (on the website or from the company where cosmetologists shop) and pour an ampoule into a bottle of blefarogel. Shake well before each application and apply. 16. Calcium Chloride Solution Peeling – Hollywood cleansing: Apply calcium chloride solution (35 rubles) to clean dry skin, wait for it to dry, then apply a second layer, and wait for it to dry again. Lather your hands with baby soap and massage your skin, rolling off the balls. The mechanism here is as follows: calcium chloride interacts with soap (sodium and potassium salt of higher fatty acids), forming potassium or sodium chloride and insoluble calcium salt of higher fatty acids, which rolls off while capturing part of the upper layer of keratin scales. This results in a gentle surface peel. The use of calcium chloride for skin cleansing is possible in the absence of inflammatory elements. Very effective. Checked!!! 17. For 24 rubles Heparin ointment (for swelling… if you have terrible bags under your eyes in the morning) 18. Retinoic Ointment A treasure trove of vitamin A. The ointment is positioned as anti-acne but is also a great preventive measure against aging, improves skin condition, and reduces redness. I make a mask out of it, for 20-30 minutes, longer is also possible. Some leave it on overnight. I heard that in the USA, cosmetologists prescribe its analog (retisol) as the only proven remedy for fighting wrinkles.
