One of the common complaints of women especially in the summer months is cellulite. Time to get get out the shorts and bathing suits and the only thing that saddens your day is seeing that cellulite on your legs. Well this Dr Oz Coffee Grinds Scrub For Cellulite Recipe was proven to work on Dr Oz's Home Remedies - And Do they Work!


Coffee Grinds Scrub for Cellulite Recipe


Combine ½ cup coffee grinds with ¼ cup brown sugar. Place olive oil over areas of cellulite and then rub the rub mix into skin in a circular motion. Scrub for 5 minutes to exfoliate.

Dr Oz says it's a True beauty!

Caffeine can enhance fat metabolism, especially right beneath the skin. It’s easily absorbed when applied directly on the skin. It’s also a diuretic, so it gets some of the fluid out of the fat beneath your skin so that cellulite is less visible. Olive oil is a moisturizer and an emollient, which softens the skin. The brown sugar works as an exfoliant.

Dr Oz said that although this cellulite recipe is not a permanent cellulite fix, it’s an effective temporary solution.

Dr. Oz puts some of his viewers’ favorite beauty secrets to the test. Face masks to wrinkle treatments, Dr. Oz tests out viewers beauty fixes, and here with Dr. Oz in the tub, the Dr Oz Hair Thickening Beer Shampoo, and does it work?


Dr Oz Beer Shampoo Recipe



Boil 12 oz. of beer until it reduces to about ½ cup.
Cool the beer and add to 1 (15 oz.) bottle of baby shampoo.

Lather through hair thoroughly and rinse.

It does not work. Although, initially, beer may make your hair plumper, for long-term use it’s not beneficial. Beer contains ethanol, which actually inhibits biotin, the basic B vitamin that serves as hair’s building block.

Dr Oz Verdict For Breast Milk Soap: It works... I'm sold! I am allergic to soap, and can only use Dove for sensitive skin, This I have to try... with the yogurt there is no breast milk around here!

Breast milk contains lactic acid, a form of alpha-hydroxy acid which is a natural skin exfoliatant. It also has lactoferrin, which is a good anti-inflammatory and helps to shed the outer layer of the skin and unclog pores. You can use yogurt as a substitute for the breast milk. It also contains lactic acid and is readily available. This Breast Milk Soap Recipe Makes A 3 lb batch of soap.


Dr Oz Breast Milk Soap Recipe


Ingredients

13 oz. breastmilk or yogurt (frozen/slushy)
5.25 oz. distilled water
6.25 oz. lye (pure sodium hydroxide crystals: WARNING: can be dangerous if handled improperly)
3 oz. fragrance oil (optional – omit for unscented soap)
24 oz. olive oil
12 oz. lard
12 oz. Crisco (or double this and omit lard for vegan soap)
1 oz. castor oil

Directions

In a steel pot, combine fragrance oil, olive oil and castor oil. Cut up the lard and Crisco into smaller chunks, and add to pot. In a plastic container, (tea pitcher works well) put distilled water. Slowly sprinkle the lye over the water and stir gently to dissolve. Wear protective clothing as this is VERY hot and can burn your skin.

Once the lye has been completely dissolved, slowly add the slushy breast milk to the water/lye mixture and stir carefully. It will turn bright yellow/orange. Slowly add breast milk mixture to the oils while whisking thoroughly. After all ingredients have been incorporated, use stick blender & blend in bursts until soap becomes thick.

Soap Making Supplies

Pour soap batter into mold and put lid on. Check on it frequently as milk soaps tend to overheat easily. If it’s getting too hot and starting to separate or crack, open the lid. In 24-48 hours, carefully unmold the soap. It needs to finish curing for a few weeks before use.

Dr Oz Nail Salon Dangers

Dr Oz Dangers At The Nail salon


Dr Amy Wechsler joins Dr Oz today on the dangers at the nail salon. Dr. Oz launches an undercover investigation to find out what exactly goes on in these salons by sending in 3 of his staff with hidden camera's into 3 nail salons in New York City. Toenail fungus and yeast bacteria are just a few of the nasty problems you can be stuck with after going to the nail salon.

The staff got the full treatment of manicure's and pedicure's and you are going to be surprised at what you will see and learn from these Dr Oz video's on Nail salon dangers!

Dr Amy Wechsler Recommendations
1. Take your own pedicure supplies
2. Take your own Pedicure tub liners
3. Use Carmol 20 for you callused heels.

Dr Oz 3 Dangers In the Nail Salon

What dangers are lurking at your local nail salon?. Learn what three dangers to avoid, and what Dr Amy Wechsler recommends to do.

1. Dirty Tools: Traces of E. coli bacteria have been found on nail salon tools. This can cause serious infections on the hands and feet.

Protect Yourself: Look for salons that use UV sterilizers. A UV sterilizer can kill most of the bacteria on the tools in as little as one minute. Tools should be placed inside the sanitizer for 5 minutes.

Bring your own tools to the nail salon. The tools in Dr Oz's undercover in nail salons they just moved the tray of tools they used on the client to the next customer.

2. Dirty Tubs: Mycobacteria, fungus and yeast have been found in the pedicure tubs.
Protect Yourself: Use a tub liner to keep your feet away from the tub walls. These liners cost only about $1. These tubs were only rinsed, they were not disinfected.

Never shave your legs the day you are planning to get a pedicure. The micro-nicks in the skin more readily allow these dangerous bacteria in.

3. Illegal Procedures: The “foot razor,” used to remove calluses, is illegal in most states. Often, nail salon employees cut the skin by accident; most don’t clean the bloody razors properly. This is a serious health violation and should be avoided entirely.

Protect Yourself: Use a callous solution(foot razor) Callus Shaver
or heel cream at home to safely dissolve hardened skin. Dr. Wechsler recommended Carmol 20 20% Carbamide Cream

Remember Dr Oz and Dr Amy Wechsler Nail salon Tips; Purchase your on tub liners, Plus it it safer to take your own Pedicure Tools .
