Top 10 Tips: BEAUTY FROM THE KITCHEN

Here are DIY beauty tips and tricks from your own kitchen. Nevertheless, natural beauty need not to be expensive!

• Use Sugar And Salt As Exfoliators - Sugar and salt make great exfoliators; just mix them with some oil or water, rub on to your skin and rinse. If you do use sugar, remember to rinse the tub or shower afterwards, otherwise things may get a bit sticky!

• Use Cornstarch In Place Of Baby Powder - Cornstarch helps stop sweat, softens skin and relieves chafing. Sprinkle where you would baby powder. If you want a little fragrance, spritz your favorite perfume on the cornstarch before applying.

• Use Lemon To Lighten Hair And Remove Skin Stains - If you have blonde or light brown hair, lemon gives you great highlights. Squeeze some into your hair (mix some with water in a spray bottle for easier application), and sit out in the sun for a bit. If you have stains on your hands, or black, callused elbows and feet, lemons also help remove the stains. Cut them in half and rub in, taking care to avoid any broken skin.

• Use Tea Bags To Get Rid Of Eye Puffiness - If you have under-eye circles or bags, wet teabags with warm water and place over closed eyes for 15 minutes. The tannins in the tea reduce swelling.

• Use Olive Oil To Soften, Moisturize And Shine - Olive oil is a multi-purpose beauty tool: it can be used as a conditioner or hot oil treatment for hair; it can moisturize and soften skin; it could soften cuticles and strengthen nails; and it can be used as an effective make-up remove.

• Use Oatmeal, Bananas And Avocados As Face Masks - Pastes made out of oatmeal, bananas and avocados make great beauty masks, tightening or smoothing your face. You can find many recipes for food face masks on Google.

• Use Baking Soda To Whiten Teeth - Make a paste from water or hydrogen peroxide and baking soda and rub on to teeth with your toothbrush to remove stains and whiten teeth.

• Use Mayonnaise As Hair Conditioner - Use half a cup of mayonnaise as a conditioner, leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse well.

• Use Apple Cider Vinegar As A Hair Rinse And Facial Astringent - Apple cider vinegar helps remove product residue from hair and combats flaking; use as a rinse before you shampoo. You can also apply it to your face with a cotton ball to zap zits and tighten your pores.

• Use Milk To Soften Skin - Pour two to three cups of milk or the equivalent of powdered milk in your bath water to soften skin - one of Cleopatra’s favorite beauty treatments!
