Oatmeal grains are anti-inflammatory and act as a natural remedy to heal sunburns. They pile up oatmeal flakes onto a large piece of bandage. They then twist the gauze with oatmeal flakes like a sack and tie it around the tap of their bathtub. They then take bath in the cool water flowing through for 20 minutes to soak up the grains’ anti-inflammatory benefits.

Brazilian beauties are quite particular about maintaining a perfect cellulite-free bikini body and in order to get rid of cellulite they rub sand on their bodies to stimulate circulation and thus get rid of cellulite.
