Brazilian women have used Babassu oil for hundreds of years to keep their skin soft, smooth, and beautiful.
Babassu oil is a light, non-greasy natural emollient that moisturizes the skin. It is excellent for dry as well as normal and oily skin types. The physical and chemical properties of Babassu oil are most similar to coconut oil. In temperate climates Babassu oil, unlike olive or almond oils, is actually a semi-solid creamy texture at room temperature and melts upon contact with skin, which is at a warmer temperature.
Babassu oil can be used “straight up” applied to the skin, as a massage oil, or in the bath, but is usually combined with other essential oils.

Banish cellulite

The exotic looks and figures of Brazilian women are the envy of females around the world, so we're dying to know some of their tips. And it's actually quite simple - sand! While relaxing on the beach Brazilian beauties rub wet sand on their bodies to smooth and stimulate their skin, and combat the dreaded cellulite. Try it at home: Unless you live near a warm, sandy beach, this isn't going to be easy so instead pop into Lush for Sandstone soap (£1.95, 100g). It contains skin nourishing vitamins and minerals to pummel and polish the skin, then turn it to the sand-topped side and it transforms into an exfoliator to beat stubborn cellulite.www.lush.com

Before you give yourself a brazilian bikini wax, be warned that most women don't find it comfortable. Pulling out your pubic hair and ripping them out from the roots is not the best feeling - After all, you are dealing with your most sensitive and intimate regions. Make sure that you want to have a brazilian bikini wax - You may get a standard bikini wax or a full bikini which can cause you less damage.
The first step would be to make a long warm shower washing and cleaning your pubic area. Then, trim down your pubic hair with scissors or with a shaver till it will have a length of a quarter inch.
Use a hard wax (A low temperature one) for a less painful process. Smooth the wax with a pre-waxing oil before applying it over your hair. This oil keeps it from sticking to the skin, and allows the wax to be used without strips, making for a much more comfortable experience. As the wax cools, it basically shrink-wraps each hair and pulls it out from the root. You may remove some stubborn hair with a set of tweezers.
Use a big mirror and move into any position you think will be more comfort - put your legs up, on the sides or even over your head. If you feel the pain is unbearable stop until you feel you are ready to go on.
once you finished with the waxing process and you are happy with your brazilian bikini wax, you should apply a soothing lotion on your bikini area.
If done correctly, your pubic area will stay smooth for anywhere between 14 and 25 days. We advice you to go to a professional salon to do your first brazilian bikini wax. After watching the therapist and feeling the discomfort and pain you will be able to decide whether you wish to give yourself the next brazilian wax.

No other country or culture was so concerned with beautification as was Egypt. Cleopatra the VII has also written a book of beauty secrets. Ancient Egypt was known for its magnificent beauty, exotic perfumes, beautiful clothes, flamboyant style and vivacious hairstyles. They used soaps, creams, and oils for skin care. Aromatic perfumes and dramatic hairstyles to fight eerie heat. They unearthed the art and importance of birth controls and spas.

1 tsp sweet almond oil. 2 drops of Frankincense essential oil or Rose Attar. Mix these ingredients together and you have an excellent anti-wrinkle cream. Cleanse your face and apply this to your face at night. Massage it in your skin gently for about 5 minutes, and wash off the next morning.

Aloe Vera was the other most important factor that Egyptian queens treasured and used for smoothening skin, healing wounds and minor burns.

Bitter or sweet almond oil were the most common ingredients of Egyptian cosmetics, and are excellent for the skin. Use pure almond oil as an under-eye cream and keep crows-feet at bay. Almond oil is also excellent for your hair. Mix almond and coconut oil to your hair and wash it off after an hour, for excellent results.

Sometimes I get sad or depressed. Believe me it sucks. I have actually gotten this herbal tea in the flavour of "Egyptian Licorice" and I opened the tea bag, put it in some water in an oil distiller. Licorice is good for depression, so you could drink it too. Catnip tea also helps stress. Boil water with catnip leaves for that.

Body sugaring is a method for removing body hair that is a cheap, homemade alternative to waxing (or shaving). The theory behind body sugaring is that the hair is removed by the root, and when it grows back there will be less of it, and it will be softer and not stubbly as it is if a razor had been used.

SIMPLE SOLUTION: Body sugaring is done by making a paste of sugar, water, and lemon juice that has been heated to the softball candy stage.
After you have let the paste cool enough so that it won't burn, you spread it on your skin, cover it with cotton strips of cloth, and then rip the cloth off like one does a bandaid. Most find sugaring less painful than waxing.
Due to many requests from readers for this recipe, I have looked hard for what I have finally found and give you here, what I think is the best formula:

INGREDIENTS

2 cups sugar 1/4 cup lemon juice ¼ cup water
Equipment: Candy thermometer

Combine the ingredients in a heavy saucepan, and heat on low using a candy thermometer. Watch the mixture very carefully so that it doesn't boil over. Heat the mixture to 250 F on the candy thermometer; this is the hardball candy stage.
Remove from the heat and let cool enough to pour into a jar without breaking or melting the jar. (Note that this jar will be reheated in the future. Make sure it is safe for whatever for of reheating you plan to do -- in the microwave, or in a pan of water. Rip clean cotton fabric in 1" inch strips. Make sure the cotton isn't too coarsely woven.

This next step is very critical: let the mixture cool enough so that it won't burn your skin. The first time I did this I didn't let the blend cool enough and I burned myself! Test the mixture on the palm of your hand, knowing that is much tougher than the sensitive skin under your arms.
Using a dull knife or Popsicle stick, spread the cooled sugar onto your skin. Cover with the cloth strips, let set for a few minutes, and then rip off quickly as you would a bandaid.
In the future you can reheat the mixture to a warm and not hot temperature (see above), and reuse. Note that reheating will thicken the paste.
