Application of used cold tea bag will soothe the eyes and cure dark circles of the eyes.

A Natural Way to Exfoliate

Sea salt is the best product for the skin exfoliation. It removes dry, flaky and dead skin. This is called sea salt scrub. For that just wet face and apply sea salt on your face, then gently massage with a wet wash cloth or only by fingers. Mostly focus on the cheeks and T-zone, but avoid the eye area. You can use this scrub on anywhere on the body. You can do this once per week maximum.

One of the most efficient home remedies for wrinkle removal is massaging the face by coconut oil before going to bed. Massaging the skin with pure castor oil also prevents wrinkles. Cucumber juice and lemon juice is also best for the wrinkle and will help to fade away the blemishes. You can also apply the mixture of honey, olive oil and cream.

I swear the best eye make-up remover for waterproof eye make-up is coconut oil. It gets all the make up off gently, smells good, and leaves your eyelashes soft after.

Thanks for the other tips!
