Garlic is effective in treating pimples, hair loss, psoriasis, scarring and stretch marks. Aside from these, it minimizes pores and is rich in antioxidants to keep you from ageing. Dominican women are aware of the garlic benefits. Per Shalini Vadhera, author of "Passport to Beauty," Dominican women use garlic to keep their nails strong.
  2. Red Grapes from Chile - Chilean women claimed that their radiant skin is due to the antioxidants found in red grapes. They make a paste by mashing up a handful of red grapes and then mixing it with two tablespoons of white powder. They apply the finished product as a facemask and leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse it off. The said strategy wakes up a tired-looking skin.
  3. DIY facemask from Colombia - Colombianas are known for their popular beautiful skin, have you ever wonder what their secrets are?

According to the report, this plant is packed with tons of healing properties that gives one a younger looking skin. Salma claimed that her abuela who used this plant on her skin died without any wrinkles. According to Tepezcohuite, mimosa tenuiflora also known as tepezohuite has significant anti-microbial properties, analgesic and regenerative cells. They are popular for their therapeutic effect in ailing injuries and burns. They are also rich in tannins that act as astringents, stop the skin from bleeding and protect the body from infection.
