for the goddess in you  Contessa Faige von Sternberg reveals beauty treatments from your very own kitchen...   Domestic Spa Secrets
 
BAGS UNDER YOUR EYES 
Grate a potato, drain liquid and neatly wrap a teaspoon of the potato mash into a small pocket of cheesecloth. Place the potato bags under eyes for 15-30 minutes. This is a good way to lighten dark circles and de-stress. Rinse off residue with tepid water. Gently pat dry and apply your favourite eye cream. This treatment can be done twice a week if needed. k

SMILE & LAUGH LINES
Cut a seedless green grape in half, and gently squeeze and rub it along the lines on your face, including crow’s-feet and neck. Rinse off with tepid water after 30 minutes. Gently pat dry and apply your favourite day or night cream. Continue treatments daily. k

SKIN BLEMISHES 
Cut open a small piece from an aloe plant, and rub the jelly substance over any blemishes or skin irritations. It’s best to sleep with it. Rinse off with tepid water. Repeat as needed. k

TO FIRM & TIGHTEN BREASTS
Mix together one raw egg, two tablespoons of plain yogurt and one teaspoon of *Vitamin E oil (or 5 soft gel capsules). Massage mixture into breasts and wrap yourself in gauze or wear a cotton sports bra for 40 minutes. Rinse off with tepid water. Pat dry and massage breasts with a few drops of olive oil as moisturizer. This treatment can be done up to three times a week. k
*Some medical reports state that Vitamin E is unsafe during pregnancy. Please note that individual   reactions may vary. Stop treatments if any allergies develop.
