1. Exfoliate Your Whole Body 2-3 Times per Week
Just like your face, maintaining smooth, radiant, and youthful-looking skin all over your body requires regular care. One of the secrets to healthy, bright skin is exfoliating your body 2-3 times per week. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, dirt, and rough patches that regular bathing with soap or shower gel can't entirely eliminate. Additionally, it stimulates the production of new skin cells, leaving you with firm, youthful, and better-absorbing skin for other skincare products.
Recognizing the current needs and concerns of women regarding body skincare, many renowned cosmetic brands have researched and introduced various body scrubs, including those in granular, salt, cream, and gel forms. Some popular body exfoliating products trusted by women today include: Dak Lak Cocoon Coffee Body Scrub, Organic Shop Coffee Sugar Body Scrub, Dove Exfoliating Body Polish with Special Moisturizing Formula...
Aside from commercial body scrubs, many women also opt for natural exfoliation methods using ingredients like bananas, red beans, coffee, etc., which are not only safe and gentle but also cost-effective.
One effective DIY exfoliation method you can try is using coffee grounds and pure coconut oil. Why coffee grounds? Because coffee contains skin-whitening properties utilized by many skincare brands. Caffeine stimulates blood circulation, promoting smoother and firmer skin while eliminating dead skin cells. Exfoliating with coffee grounds doesn't leave your skin feeling dry because they contain nutrients beneficial to the skin. The result is smooth, glowing, and firmer skin.
- Ingredients:
- ½ cup coffee grounds
- 30ml pure coconut oil
- Instructions:
- Step 1: Mix the coffee grounds with coconut oil until you get a thick mixture.
- Step 2: Apply the mixture onto your skin and gently massage for 3-4 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.
- Notes:
- Massage gently to avoid damaging the skin's surface.
- Avoid exfoliating if you have severe acne or open wounds on the skin.
- Always apply sunscreen 20-30 minutes before going outside in the morning.
- Exfoliate only 2-3 times per week; for sensitive skin, limit to 1-2 times per week.


2. Achieve Thick and Long Eyelashes
Eyes are the windows to the soul. Having long, curled eyelashes is a dream for many women. However, not everyone easily achieves this dream. Many women with short, sparse lashes try various methods like eyelash extensions or implants, which can be costly and often don't provide long-lasting results, and in some cases, may even harm the eyes.
One of the natural, safe methods for nurturing and caring for lashes is using ingredients from nature, and coconut oil cannot be overlooked. Coconut oil contains plenty of vitamin E and triglycerides that help nourish your lashes, making them longer and safer. That's why most eyelash nurturing products on the market contain coconut oil.
To avoid discomfort when using, you should apply coconut oil every night before bed. Dip a cotton swab into coconut oil and brush it onto your lashes from root to tip. Do it like you're applying mascara and leave it overnight. In the morning, rinse it off with water.
When you start using coconut oil for lash care, try to apply it continuously for 7-10 days. After about 10 days, your lashes will be slightly longer; at this point, you don't need to apply coconut oil regularly, just once every 3 days will do. This is a completely natural method, so it requires patience to see results.


3. Apply Face Masks 2-3 Times per Week
Facial care is always a top priority for women of all ages because it's the most sensitive and challenging area of the body. You might be familiar with the scenario of investing a significant amount of money in skincare products but still not achieving the desired results, leading you to seek out other supposedly good products based on reviews from beauty bloggers. However, moisturizing is always the most important step in skincare; if you provide enough moisture to your face, issues like acne, dryness, and pigmentation will significantly diminish over time.
In addition to using moisturizers to seal in the final layer of nourishment in your daily skincare routine, applying face masks is considered a skincare step that doubles the moisture and nutrients for your skin. The essences in face masks will directly penetrate your skin, leaving it hydrated and smooth after use.
There are many types of face mask products with various functions that women can choose from based on their needs, such as sheet masks, clay masks, seaweed masks... And one of the mask recipes Mytour wants to introduce to women is the yogurt and potato mask.
- Ingredients:
- 1 fresh potato
- 1/2 box of unsweetened yogurt
- Instructions:
- Clean the potato and boil until soft.
- Then, peel the potato and mash it in a bowl. Let the potato cool completely, then add 1/2 box of yogurt and mix well.
- Apply the mixture evenly onto your face. Leave it on for about 15 minutes, then rinse off with cold water.
- Notes:
- Do not apply the mask too thickly;
- Wear sunscreen when going outside;
- Apply only 2-3 times per week, do not overuse as it may damage the skin


4. Nourish Hair, Avoid Dryness and Breakage
In the old days, women's hair has always been seen as a beauty symbol of women. Shiny, healthy hair is always the desire of women. You wouldn't want to have brittle, falling hair, or a scalp full of dandruff for a date or to go out, right? That's why caring for and nurturing your hair becomes as important as caring for your skin. And above all, healthy, lively hair not only highlights the features on your face but also boosts your confidence. It helps perfect your natural beauty.
Since ancient times, grandmothers, mothers, and sisters have known to use natural ingredients to nurture black, shiny hair, such as washing hair with hibiscus, using coconut oil for hair treatment, pomelo essential oil to grow hair... These methods help hair grow quickly, black, shiny, and smooth, but they require a lot of time and effort. Nowadays, with the development of the beauty industry, many new styles, new hair dye colors are introduced, giving women the freedom to change and style according to their preferences and personal style. So, hair is often exposed to the effects of chemicals, temperature, dust... leading to damaged, dry, and brittle hair. Therefore, to restore damaged hair, many women have to combine various methods such as salon treatment, using serums, hair nurturing essences... alongside with natural hair treatment methods.
One of the very effective natural hair treatment formulas is using Beer. Beer is fermented from barley, so the amount of protein in beer is quite high, helping to strengthen the hair cuticle. Besides, beer also contains many vitamins B1, potassium, magnesium, biotin… helping stimulate hair follicles to grow, making hair grow faster, thicker, and smoother. Moreover, beer also has the effect of forming a protective layer for the hair, limiting the effects of dust and sunlight. Therefore, home hair treatment with beer is also a secret to help you have healthy and beautiful hair as desired.
