I recently read that egg whites (raw) are great for wrinkles. Apparently you take some raw uncooked egg white and dab a few drops on your wrinkles and let it set hard for about 15mins then rinse off carefully with luke warm water.
It acts like a face mask and pulls your skin very tight.

How to get rid of constipation and wind the natural way!
I have the answer to constipation and it really does seem to work.
The natural cure for constipation would appear to be liquorice. You can have it in it's traditional form or in the dose of 3-4 liquorice allsorts. Within a few short hours you will find yourself on the loo.
I have a friend who I noted had a round tummy compared to her otherwise slim limbs and on discussion she told me she only passed stools once a week and even then they were like little nuggets.
I told her she was 'full of poo' !
I gave her some liquorice and within hrs she had been and passed stools. She continued taking a small amount each day and each day she passed stools. She also lost 3Ibs in 4 days!
My Great aunty told me about this 'cure' after she had suffered constipation for 40yrs! After 40yrs she was cured. No more laxatives required.
Meanwhile re 'wind' try drinking peppermint tea, it works wonders ;)
Note; I am not a Doctor and this advice is anecdotal so always do see your Doctor for advice if anything is worrying you.

How to treat blocked sinuses
How to Relieve Sinus Pressure
by April Kerr
Shake it Baby
If you've had a cold or suffered from hay fever you'll understand what it's like to have blocked sinuses. It's not at all pleasant and can be very tiring.
There are lots of ways in which you can help relieve this pressure. If you walk into your local Pharmacist you'll find shelves full of drugs designed to help clear up your sinuses. Nasal sprays, liquids, strips, pills and even treatments you put in the bath.
What Causes Sinus Pressure or Sinusitis?
First of all you need to understand that there are different types of sinusitis. There is the acute types with is normally caused by a bacterial or viral infection and normally lasts for no more than 30 days.
Then there is chronic sinusitis which is cause by allergies, a small sinus cavity or poorly functioning mucous membrane. If the infection lasts for more than 30 days it's generally considered chronic.
There can be a number of causes of irritation to the sinuses such as poor air quality, fungus, dehydration, bacteria, hormones and allergies.
Remedies and Cures
It's always a good idea to figure out what is causing the sinusitis in the first place. Viral infections will normally clear up on its own. For bacterial infections you can ask your doctor for an antibiotic.
Think about allergens which may be causing the problem. If symptoms flare up when you are around a pet then it could be the dander in the fur causing the problem. Dust and pollen are also major causes.
When you have worked out the possible causes then you can select the best treatment. Luckily there are a number of home remedies which work. If your sinus pressure comes with a fever or a headache, then you should see the doctor.
To treat allergies related sinusitis, find what's causing it and remove it. If your pet Fluffy is the problem, the doctor can prescribe an allergy medicine so you can keep her.
For a cold try some eucalyptus. Simply place the oil in a bowl or warm water and place the bowl on your lap. Then lean over the bowl with a towel draped over your head. Other oils which work include lavender, tea tree and sandalwood. The idea is to breathe in the vapors created by the warm water and essential oil.
Tea tree oil will work well if you have a cold or a bacterial infection. Tree tea oil has antibacterial properties.
Using a neti pot with warm salt water is great for rinsing out the sinuses. You can do this several times a day. In many Eastern countries a neti pot is as much a part of daily hygiene and brushing your teeth.
Dry air is a common cause of sinus irritation. A humidifier will help to introduce water vapor into the air.
When dehydration is the cause, drink more water. The average person should be drinking at least eight 8 oz. glasses a day.
