The passing of time causes our skin to age. But what if there was a way to slow down the effects of aging? Luckily there is.
Grapes are known for their anti-aging properties. They also provide antioxidant properties. You will need:

Leave the paste on for 15 to 20 minutes then clean it off with Luke warm water. After several sessions, you will notice that your face feels nourished, moisturised, and soft.
Remove Blackheads
Blackheads are notorious for stealing away your clear skin. But do not despair as we have the perfect solution for those annoying little things.
For this you will need:

Mix these and place the mixture inside a microwave to warm for 10 seconds. Next, apply the mask on a clean face. Leave the mask on for 15 minutes to allow it to dry off. Then, peel the mask off and it should come out with the blackheads.
Reducing the Appearance of Stretch Markets
Every woman has had to deal with stretch marks. They often cause us to cover and hide certain areas of our bodies.
However what if there was a way to reduce their appearance?
You will need:
• Gauze
• A potato
Not only do potatoes have soothing properties, they also have antioxidants that help repair cell damage. Simply peel and chop up the potato into small bits. Put the potato through the gauze and then use the starch as a compress on areas with stretch marks.
Broken Nails
Us women pay special attention to our nails. We manicure them and ensure that they look neat and well kept. However, nails can break at the most unexpected times. How do you deal with this?
You will need
• A base coat nail polish
• Regular nail polish
• Teabags
• Topcoat nail polish
Take the tea bag and cut it into a size that is the same as the broken nail. This offers a good layer to strengthen the construction and on which you will apply several layers of nail polish. Once you are done, your nail will look awesome until is time to manicure it again.
Long and Thick Eyelashes
One way of making your eyes stand out is to have long and thick eyelashes. If you have always had small eyelashes and blamed this on your genetics then you are in for a surprise.

Taking Out Excess Hair
