Who knew? Now we do!
Did you know that cellulite is a skin condition more so than it's a matter of weight? It's true. In order to reduce cellulite you will need to boost collagen and elastin production. One way to do so is by dry brushing or exfoliating the affected area regularly. Another can be by getting regular LED light therapy in the area as it is known to boost collagen.

Home Beauty Emergency Survival Kit
Here are a few common, non-food, household items that you can pack away in your home emergency kit, that can be used as your emergency beauty products in a time of need.
Jojoba Oil
Petroleum Jelly
Baking Soda
Lavender Essential Oil
Witch Hazel
Jojoba Oil - (pronounced ho-HO-ba) is a botanical extract of the seed of the jojoba (Simmondsia chinenis) plant, a shrub native to southern Arizona, southern California and northwestern Mexico. What’s interesting about it is that it isn’t actually an oil, but rather what they call a wax ester. Why do we care? Because out of all of the compounds in nature, this wax ester is the most similar to human skin oil (sebum). It is theorized that applying jojoba to the skin can “trick” the skin into thinking it is producing enough oil, thus balancing oil production. The bottom line for us is that jojoba oil is non-comedogenic so we can use it without fear. Jojoba oil is also a fungicide, and can be used for controlling mildew.
USES:
* Moisturizer and eye oil – Use a few drops to ¼ tsp. morning and night.
* Make-up remover for face and eyes – Since jojoba oil is not an eye irritant, nor allergenic, you can use it to remove eye makeup. It also easily removes foundation, blush, and lipstick. Apply to skin, massage, and tissue off, then rinse with warm water.
* Lip balm
* Hair conditioner – Use it on its own as a hot oil treatment for hair. You can add it to damp hair before drying. Also, you can add it to dry hair to promote shine. Jojoba oil also moisturizes the scalp, helping prevent dandruff, so use it as a scalp massage oil.
* Shave prep - Put a whole bunch of jojoba oil on your beard area beneath your shaving cream for a more comfortable shave. This helps prevent razor burn and leaves your skin feeling nice and soft.
* Massage oil
* Cuticle oil – apply to cuticles and nails.
* Body oil – Use after shower/bath on damp skin to moisturize.
Petroleum Jelly – The raw material for petroleum jelly was discovered in 1859 in Titusville, Pennsylvania, United States, on some of the country's first oil rigs. Workers disliked the paraffin-like material forming on rigs because it caused them to malfunction, but they used it on cuts and burns because it hastened healing. Studies have shown that petrolatum has no medicinal effect nor any effect on the blistering process, nor is it absorbed by the skin. Petrolatum’s effectiveness in accelerating wound healing stems from its sealing effect on cuts and burns, which inhibits germs from getting into the wound and keeps the injured area supple by preventing the skin's moisture from evaporating. Pure petroleum jelly is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores.
USES:
* Skin protectant - Petroleum jelly repels water, making an effective skin protectant. It helps keep the outside world out - it protects skin from the effects of weather and exposure, and it acts like a sealant to help keep the inside world in - it forms an occlusive barrier to the natural water loss of our skin. So skin that is dry and chapped is protected from drying elements, enabling skin-softening moisture to build up naturally from inside the skin itself. It can also be used when using a home hair dye kit, if put onto skin close to the hairline it can prevent the hair dye staining the skin.
* Cuticle softener
* Lip balm – Apply to dry, chapped lips.
* Moustache wax - When used in a 50/50 mixture with pure beeswax, it makes an effective moustache wax.
* Personal lubricant - Petroleum jelly is commonly used as a personal lubricant. (Not recommended for use with condoms because it dissolves latex).
* Lubrication - It can be used to lubricate the anus if the patient is suffering from conditions like hemorrhoids or anal fissures. The purpose of this is to allow the stool to pass through the rectum more easily and more freely in an effort to minimize any further damage to the tissue. It can also be used to lubricate the anus before taking rectal temperature.
* Rough feet – Apply to feet immediately after showering. It will help to soften rough heels.
Contraindications: Petroleum jelly should not be used around the nose, as it can cause a condition called lipid pneumonia, a lung infection caused by the inhalation of fats. It may also interfere with the nose's ability to naturally scrub air as you inhale, which could also contribute to lung infections. It should also not be used as a sexual lubricant in combination with latex barrier protection, as it can degrade the latex.
Baking Soda - Baking Soda, alias sodium bicarbonate, is a naturally occurring substance that is found in all living things, where it helps regulate their pH balance. Baking Soda is made from soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate. To make Baking Soda, the soda ash is mined in the form of an ore called trona. The soda ash is then dissolved into a solution through which carbon dioxide is bubbled and sodium bicarbonate precipitates out, forming "Pure, Safe and Natural" Baking Soda.
USES:
* Exfoliant - Its particles are rounded and fine in texture, making it both effective and gentle on the skin. Mix to a paste with water and massage onto skin and rinse.
* Dry shampoo – Tilt head forward and sprinkel into hair. Toussle with fingers till absorbed.
* Mouth freshener - It works as a mechanical cleanser on the teeth and gums, neutralizes the production of acid in the mouth and also as an antiseptic to help prevent infections occurring. Mix with water, swish and spit. Rinse.
* Tooth polish - A paste made from sodium bicarbonate and a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution can be used as an alternative to commercial non-fluoride toothpastes. Can also be used “as is” by sprinkling onto toothbrush. Teeth will feel cleaner and fresher longer than with commercial toothpaste.
* Deodorant - Dust underarms with baking soda as needed to feel fresh all day.
* Soothing foot soak – Dissolve baking soda into warm water. Soak feet. Make a paste of water and baking soda and scrub feet. Rinse.
* Antacid – Add baking soda to water. Follow package instructions.
* Shoe deodorizer – Sprinkle baking soda into shoes to freshen overnight.
Lavender essential oil – Lavender oil is extracted mostly from the flowers of the lavender plant, primarily through steam distillation. The flowers of lavender are fragrant in nature and have been used in making potpourris for years. Lavender essential oil has been traditionally used in making perfumes and may also be used as a mosquito repellent. The scent has a calming effect which may aid in relaxation and the reduction of anxiety. According to advocates of alternative medicine, lavender oil can be used as an antiseptic and pain reliever to be applied to minor burns and insect bites and stings.
USES:
* Wound healing - Heals wounds, cuts, burns, and sunburns rapidly as it aids in the formation of scar tissues. Soothe minor burns by applying 2–3 drops of lavender essential oil directly to the affected area.
* Insect repellant - Add a few drops of lavender essential oil to a cotton ball and place it in closets and drawers to scent linens and repel moths and insects.
* Deodorizer - Place a few drops of lavender essential oil on a wet cloth or dryer sheet to deodorize and freshen your laundry.
* Sleep aid - Rub a few drops of lavender essential oil onto your hand and spread over your child’s pillow to help him/her sleep.
Witch Hazel – is an astringent produced from the leaves and bark of the North American Witch Hazel shrub (Hamamelis virginiana), which grows naturally from Nova Scotia west to Ontario, Canada, and south to Florida and Texas in the United States. This plant was widely used for medicinal purposes by Native Americans. The bark and leaves are astringent; the extract, also referred to as witch hazel, is used medicinally. Extracts from its bark and leaves are used in aftershave lotions and lotions for treating bruises and insect bites. Witch-hazel helps to shrink and contract blood vessels back to normal size, hence its use as the active ingredient in many hemorrhoid medications. It is also a common treatment for postnatal tearing of the perineum. The seeds contain a quantity of oil and are edible. It is also used in treating acne.
USES:
* Acne fighter - It is a strong anti-oxidant and astringent, which makes it very useful in fighting acne. Apply as you would use a toner.
* Natural remedy – for eczema, psoriasis, insect bites and poison ivy.
* Sunburn soother – apply to sunburned skin.
* Aftershave – use to soothe cuts and nicks.
* Toner
Recipes:
Homemade Sunburn Soother
2 Tbs. (distilled) water
1 Tbs. Witch hazel
¼ cup Baking Soda
1-2 drops Lavender Essential Oil
Mix well. Shake before using. Apply. Rinse dried film.
Homemade Toner
¼ cup (distilled) water
¼ cup Witch Hazel
12 drops Lavender Essential Oil
Mix well. Put in spray bottle. For extra cooling, store in fridge.
- For a more therapeutic Moisturizer, Shave Prep, Body Oil, and Cuticle Oil, add 16 drops Lavender Essential Oil to a 4oz. bottle of Jojoba Oil. Do not use on eyes.
- Add one drop Lavender Essential Oil to 1 Tbs. Baking Soda, use for underarm deodorant, shoe deodorizer, soothing foot soak, facial exfoliant, or dry hair shampoo.

Are strong scrubs, soaps and abrasives good for your skin?
Be careful how you wash your face. Too much scrubbing or too many abrasive products can remove protective oils, create tiny micro-tears, and contribute to aging, irritated skin. Less is more, and a gentle cleanser and light moisturizer work well for most people. ~Taken from Skin Inc. mag 5/09

The Bathery's Rule About Gloves
Don't forget about your hands. They are always exposed to the environment and are abused by our actions. They are one of the first places aging is seen, along with the neck and décolletage (chest).
In the winter handcream is a must, and so are gloves. Gloves are not just meant for warmth, but also for protection from the elements. You may not get cold hands when the temperature starts to drop, but your hands are still feeling the effects of the environment.
Dry winter air has lower levels of humidity and sucks the moisture from your skin. This is why it is critical to not only protect your face with a barrier protector, but also protect your hands.
And if you work in an office and handle a lot of paper, that paper is going to be absorbing oils and moisture from your hands as well, as you probably already can tell. So couple that with winter weather and you have an aging disaster LITERALLY on your hands!
So here is The Rule:
When the temperature drops below 50* it's tme to start wearing gloves. These can be a lightweight glove such as leather or cotton.
When the temperature drops below 40* it's time to bring out the warm woolies! Heavier duty gloves are now required. These can be fleece-lined or heavier woolen gloves.
And mandatory is a good emollient hand cream before slipping into your gloves.
But in order for your hands to be able to fully absorb the handcream, you need to give them a quick scrub.
Super simple home scrub:
Olive oil and sugar. Add a little of each to the palm of one hand. Enough to make a loose paste. Now just massage all over your hands. Get the palms, the backs, the knuckles, even the cuticles. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. Now slather on your handcream.
If you really want to be "natural" try using a few drops of olive oil, jojoba oil, vitamin e oil, or shea butter as your "handcream".
But critical is the wearing of the gloves. It's the perfect way to indulge your inner glove fetishist and keep your hands young looking!

Essential Fatty Acids
Essential Fatty Acids are the building blocks of our bodies’ fats and membranes. They were originally known as Vitamin F.
Your body cannot manufacture EFA’s on its own so they must be gotten from your diet and/or from supplements. Good dietary sources of EFA’s are fresh wild salmon, sardines, and walnuts. Eat them twice a week. Try adding ground flax seeds to your salads. Supplemental sources are fish oil, cod liver oil, salmon oil, and flax oil. Take 2 tbsp. daily.
EFA’s help reduce inflammation, improve eczema and psoriasis, ease depression and anxiety, keep us hydrated and supple, and make our skin youthful and glowing!
Lack of Essential Fatty Acids results in EFAD – Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency.
EFAD can cause several problems with your skin, most notably, excess keratinization or a build up of dead skin cells which causes your skin to look dull and flakey. Micro-comedones and hyperpigmentation can also result from EFAD.
Lack of essential fatty acids in your skin increases the amount of water that evaporates from your skin (trans-epidermal water loss – TEWL). Increased TEWL results in less water in the skin which impairs the enzyme activity needed to desquamate or exfoliate dead skin cells. And impaired desquamation means more dead skin cells stuck to the outer epidermal layer (keratinization), as well as dead skin cells getting stuck in the pores and follicles causing micro-comedones.
EFA’s contain Omega 3 which helps restore collagen and elastin in the dermis, and Omega 6 which helps restore parts of the epidermis.

The importance of hydration:
Poorly hydrated skin gradually loses the ability to protect itself. It becomes irritated, blotchy, lacking in radiance and comfort, and wrinkles are more likely to appear. Completely moisturized and balanced, skin is able to receive the benefit of specific ingredients with ease. ~Phytoceane
