Sour Cream and Yogurt Facials
The lactic acid in these dairy products help remove dirt and dead
cells from your skin, while moderate amounts of fat mildly moisturize
complexions of all types. Simply smooth a cup of the creamy
stuff over your face and relax for 10 minutes, then rinse off with
lukewarm water.
Sugar Body Scrub
For a gentle head to toe buff job, mix a cup of white granulated sugar
with warm water to make a paste, then use fingers or a washcloth to
work it over skin.
Sugar is gentle enough to use on your face too. mix it with your
favorite cleanser and gently massaging it in.
Hair Conditioner
Comb a tablespoon or two of mayonnaise though
damp hair, leave on for 10 to 15 minutes, then shampoo out and style.
For a lighter conditioning, a spoonful of honey instead of mayo.
Manicure
Soak fingertips in olive oil for several minutes, then use orange
stick to push back cuticles. Wipe off excess oil then buff
nail to a healthy shine.
