2006-09-06T20:39:00.000-07:00

Do you have unattractive bloodshot eyes?

Bloodshot eyes can be caused by a lack of sleep, or hard drinking, etc.

If you aren't missing sleep, or hitting the sauce, you may have a vitamin deficiency.

Ask your Doctor about taking supplements of B-2,

or, for an over-the-counter source - try Brewer's yeast - an excellent source of B vitamins.

Old-fashioned spicy cure:

Make a wet paste out of two tablespoons ginger and a little water.

Apply this paste to the soles of your feet.

Pull on socks to hold the paste in place.

Sleep all night with the ginger on your feet, in the morning,

your eyes will be white again.

Grandma's Tips for Natural Acne Prevention

2006-09-06T18:34:00.000-07:00

Here's something that could be causing your acne!

Your pillowcase.

As you sleep overnight, your face is pressed against the pillowcase.

Particles of dead skin and other bacterial residue flake off.

These dead skin cells and bacteria build up in the surface of the material.

Now you are pressing your skin up against a growing collection of germs!

What to do? Buy several extra pillowcases,
so that you can change them frequently.

Wash them in hot water with a good detergent.
