THE FACE REJUVENATOR: Microdermabrasion Scrub Alternative for Pennies
Directions: Instead of paying for a costly microdermabrasion spa treatment you can achieve similar anti-aging result with baking soda. After cleansing the skin, while face is still wet, grab a small handful of baking soda and scrub face in a gentle, circular motion. This removes dull surface skin, revealing fresh new cells, fades age spots and smoothes fine lines, for more youthful-looking skin.

THE NECK TIGHTENER
Directions: To help tighten neck skin, place a 1 oz. jar of shea butter (lid off) in the microwave oven for about 15 seconds, melting the butter. To that, stir in 2 tbsp. of emu oil and 1 tsp. of lemongrass.
Apply this neck balm every morning and evening for fast results.

THE LIP SMOOTHER
Directions: To help smooth dry, cracked lips, warm milk in a microwave for 10 seconds. Then dip a cotton ball into milk and dab onto lips for a minute or two. Next, using a q-tip, apply some raw honey onto lips. Poke open the Vitamin E capsule and apply over the honey to seal it in overnight. The milk gently exfoliates, the honey is a natural antibiotic and humectant and the vitamin E seals and adds more moisture

THE HAND REJUVENATOR, NAIL BRIGHTENER AND CUTICLE BANISHER
Directions: To rejuvenate hands and banish yellow, stained nails combine 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice with 2-3 tbsp. baking soda to a paste-like consistency. Scrub each nail for 60 seconds and leave on nails for five minutes. Then take the remaining paste and scrub the tops of the hands to fade age spots. Leave on hand tops for five minutes. Then rinse. Next to instantly rejuvenate and smooth wrinkled-looking knuckles and banish dry cuticles, massage lip balm into the areas. You'll be amazed at your instantly younger-looking hands and healthy, bright, nails

THE CELLULITE BUSTER: Cellulite Mask for Arms & Thighs
Directions: As we age collagen breaks down and cellulite becomes more noticeable. A great way to draw out impurities and help tighten and smooth the look of cellulite dimples is to make a mask combining 1 cup of apple cider vinegar with 3/4 cup of bentonite or China clay, and stir to a paste consistency. Apply the paste onto wet thighs and arms where you see cellulite and let dry. You'll experience a pulling and tightening sensation. Wash the mask off in the shower with warm water and a face cloth.

THE JOWL ELIMINATOR: Jowl Tightening Face Lift Exercise
Directions: To prevent droopy jowls, wrap your lips around your teeth and smile. Hold for 30 seconds, then repeat. This helps tighten the mouth and jowl areas for a more youthful-looking jawline
