How many times have you spent $25 on a deep conditioner only to find out the results are minimal at best? Eggs are just pennies in comparison and can give you the deep conditioning treatment you’ve been searching for. The instructions are very easy to follow. Simply whip them up, apply to your hair, let dry and rinse out. The amount of eggs you need depends on the length and thickness of your hair.
This is a trick that women have used for decades. If you’ve had a hard day or cried a lot, you need something cool and calming to apply to your swollen eyes. Cucumber slices are just the thing. Simply place them on your closed eyes, lie back and let them do the work. They feel wonderful and take the puffiness away.
I have a slight addiction to body scrubs. I think they feel wonderful and leave you with soft, smooth skin. There’s no need to shell out money when you can make one from the all-natural ingredients that you have in your kitchen. Simply mix equal parts of brown sugar and olive oil and you’ll have a luxurious, yummy smelling body scrub to enjoy. It may even replace the current favorite you have in your bathroom.
Age spots showing up? That’s never any fun. But you don’t have to simply accept them and go on. Lemons are a great skin brightener and work wonderfully at reducing age spots. Do be careful not to get any of the lemon juice in your eyes, though.
Long before there were Crest Whitestrips and other bleaching methods, there was baking soda. And you know what? It works wonderfully. I grew up watching my mother dip her toothbrush into baking soda and giving her teeth a good brushing. It’s an efficient method of whitening your teeth that’s also economical and something you probably already have on hand.
When I was a teenager, I discovered this little trick. A slice of potato can actually help reduce an acne flare up. It works because all the good stuff in potatoes like potassium and the starch help reduce swelling. It also shortens the duration of a pimple by drying it up. It sounds funny, but it actually works.
