The bathroom medicine cabinet is a pretty unlikely place to start when you are looking for beauty tips and tricks. However, what you discover may totally surprise you. You really can find spa-quality treatments in your bathroom medicine chest.

For example, consider your complexion. Whenever you have a really big date, does it seem like you get a huge pimple? If so, your skin may be reacting to stress. You can visit a spa for an emergency facial. However, these usually cost over 100 dollars. They also use up a great deal of time. Instead, just apply a small dab of hydrocortisone cream (normally used for rashes and poison ivy) to the zit. By nightfall it will disappear substantially if you dab some cream on in the morning.

Breakouts not a big deal for you? Don’t worry, there are medicine cabinet beauty tips for you too. Try cutting open some vitamin E oil capsules. Vitamin E can help those with cystic fibrosis, Alzheimer’s and sickle cell anemia. But, when you break these capsules open, you have an instant scar and wrinkle treatment. Vitamin E really is a great topical healer and its contained in nearly all proven anti-aging creams.

Is a gentle toner what you are looking for? Use distilled witch hazel. All too often, expensive over-the-counter toners dry out skin and cause it to redden. If you dilute witch hazel with water, then apply it with a cotton ball, it will do the same thing and will be much gentler. You can use witch hazel if you have hemorrhoids. Now it can also be used as a beauty treatment!

Before going crazy with these new beauty treatments, you should first test them out. You should always be careful when putting something new on your face. Put a small dab on the inside of your wrist or elbow. You must leave it there for around 24 hours. If no redness or irritation appears, then you are good to go.

Always stay on the lookout for beauty bargains in surprising places. The contents of your kitchen and bathroom could be very surprising. You can give yourself a great spa experience any day you want in your own home with these beauty tips.
