Hair
For shiny and silky hair—just like what you see in CG TV adverts, throw an egg with a half eggshell’s worth of olive oil and one quarter of peeled cucumber into a blender. Spread the smooth cream through your hair and leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse off. Repeat monthly.
Nose, cheeks
To tighten your pores, just dig out an egg and a lemon from your fridge. Mix one egg white with a few drops of lemon juice, then use a brush to apply the mixture over your face. Leave it on for five minutes and then rinse off.
Armpits
B.O.? Apply apple cider vinegar to your underarms and wait till it dries. It will be free from nasty smells for at least half a day.
Body
Soften your skin simply by taking 1/4 cup of yogurt and a teaspoon of turmeric powder. Stir until you get a fine paste and apply the preparation on your body.
Face
You’ve labored your face’s skin all day with cosmetics, now give it a break. Mix equal parts raw organic apple cider vinegar and purified water. Put a few drops on a cotton pad and cleanse your face after your daily facial wash. Do this twice a day and it will help clear your acne problems. You can also adjust the solution by adding more water if it’s too strong.
Under the Eyes
Don’t want to look like a panda? Grate 1/4 of an apple and a small raw potato and combine. Apply the mixture beneath your eyes, cover your eyes with a warm washcloth and relax with some soothing music for 15 minutes. Then wash it off.
Hands
Get soft and smooth hands with sugar and olive oil. Mix the ingredients together and scrub on both hands for five minutes. For a pleasant scent, squeeze a mint leaf into the mixture.
Feet
If you cause a stampede every time you take your shoes off, try this: pour four cups of water into a pot and boil a bag of tea for about 15 minutes. Pour the tea into a big bowl and add four more cups of cold water. Soak your feet in the bowl for 30 minutes.
The Natural Way
Apples were used by ancient Egyptians as a tonic to improve blood flow and circulation. Apple contains pectin and minerals like potassium, chlorine, magnesium, sodium and calcium. Apple cider also has an antibacterial effect.
Tea has antioxidants that lower cholesterol levels, improve cardiovascular health and help guard against some cancers. It also has an anti-perspiration effect (reduces sweat).
Eggs are loaded with protein, essential vitamins A, D, E, and B group as well as minerals iron and phosphorus. An egg also provides considerable amounts of zinc, important for healing blemishes.
Olive oil is loaded with antioxidants that help protect your hair and skin from damaging free radicals. Used with hair, it will coat the hair’s shaft and make it shiny. Another plus is its pleasant scent.
Cucumbers are a source of silica that improves your complexion. It contains a lot of water, so cucumber can help hydrate your body and skin, too.
Potatoes are high in carbohydrate, vitamin C, water and have small but significant amounts of water soluble B group vitamins, which work wonders on dry skin.
Yogurt is a good source of calcium, phosphorous, riboflavin-vitamin B2, iodine, vitamin B12, pantothenic acid-vitamin B5, zinc, potassium, protein and molybdenum. Applied to the face, the zinc in yogurt can help clear up blemishes.
Turmeric powder can provide glow and luster to your skin as well as vitality to your body. You can heal sprains, swelling, skin disorders and insect bites with turmeric powder.
Sugar is alpha-hydroxy rich, which is what gives you glowing skin.
