well, we have once again stumbled upon one of the fountains of elegance! Can’t say youth because that is a fallacy! Everything that looks good is called “young”. That is a bad habit we should break – soon! Try this and when you look in the mirror you will see reflected back, a more beautiful you.
The youth of today are already out of control with an abominable arrogance. How did they get it? All the marketing of “youth” would make the strongest young person arrogant. We use ‘young’ and ‘restore your youth’ to market and advertise products almost as much as we use ‘sex’. The most common tag line in advertising is to try this and that – it will make you look and feel ‘young’. That makes the strongest young person arrogant. And we wonder what’s wrong with our ‘youth’ today!!!
This beauty secret is something we’ve known about for generations. Many of us had a tough brush with this growing up. COD LIVER OIL!
What does that have to do with beauty and elegance? Try it on your skin and see what happens!
Another breakfast discovery at one of the Bettina Network bed & breakfast homes!
Take a capsule of cod liver oil – one with oil on the inside, not a solid capsule – clip off the end and squeeze out the oil into your cupped hand. Very gently rub this oil all over your face as you would any face cream. Let it stay on your face at least 20 minutes, preferably longer, and voila! a change for the better that can be seen. Only make sure you aren’t going out soon after because folks will begin to move a little away from you when you enter a room and sit down. You will smell like cod liver oil.
We tried it for several weeks and people we met were commenting on how great we look! We put it on at night before going to bed so by morning when we splash cold water on our face to get a little blood flow going in the cheeks, the smell of cod liver oil is gone.
Sorry, the royal wedding is having an affect on my language – the royal ‘we’ will probably be around in everything I write until all this hoopla has died down! My children try to say that royal ‘we’ has been around a lot longer, but I just ignore them.
This beauty treatment did bring back some controversial memories, which I suspect many of us share. I remember my grandmother giving me cod liver oil on half an orange and telling me it was just an orange and good for me so eat it. She claimed it would keep me beautiful. One look at that very oily orange and you knew you were being conned. One taste of that orange and you just about gagged on everything you had recently eaten. What she should have told me was to take that half-orange soaked in cod liver oil, rub it on my face, let it stay for a goodly amount of time, and I would always be beautiful!
What struck us as we tried this cod liver oil on the face was the fact that unlike other oils which tended to bother our eyes if we weren’t careful and put oil too close to our eyes, cod liver oil didn’t do that. We could put cod liver oil under our eyes and on our eyelids and there was no stinging, burning or other negative side affects. We don’t know why, we are just reporting on the results of our experiments. You might find that to be true or you might find some other affect.
What also struck us was the fact that the cod liver oil was absorbed into our skin fairly quickly. There was no oily residue even when we put on lots of cod liver oil.
We decided this would be one of our beauty regimens. Dry milk, vitamins A and E one day, coconut oil a second day, aloe vera gel a third day, royal jelly a fourth day and cod liver oil capsules on the skin on the fifth day. If that doesn’t create an amazingly beautiful person – on the outside – we don’t know what will. Try it, you’ll like who you see reflected in the mirror in about three to four weeks. Remembering that natural remedies don’t work immediately, although if 1) your skin is dry and has been neglected for some time, or 2) you have been spending lots of money and time on cosmetics which at worst dry out your skin and at best do nothing for you, you are likely to see some immediate results – both in the money left in your pocket book for you to spend and when you look at your face.
We haven’t tried it, but I suspect this would make a great all-over massage treatment. In which case you really want to stay away from other people until you have given yourself a great cod-liver oil massage; let it stay for an hour or so; and have rinsed yourself off in the shower with luke warm moving to cold water. This might even be good for your health!
