Affordable Beauty!


The above book has spa like treatments made from stuff you have at home!
I love facials etc... but it can be expensive.
Here are a couple of things it mentions (I really need to go get this book!):

For your FEET!

Lemon juice mixed with asprin (only 5 or so). Mash into the lemon juice and put mixture in zip lock bag, put feet in bag. Relax for about 20 min.

For your HAIR!

Maple syrup. (sounds messy but it's somehow good for it). Pour on hair, wrap with plastice wrap. Sit 20 min. and wash out!
Ok, these next ideas were just found online; go ahead, try one!
For SKIN!
1 cup coarse sea salt mixed w/ 1/1 cup baby oil.
Put in screw top jar and leave 24 hrs. Stir mixture and apply to body on areas you want to smooth, rinse off, dry.
For HAIR!
Mix an avacado, 1 egg yolk, teaspoon of olive oil.
Apply mixture to hair in sections. Leave 30 min. or so, rinse.
For FACE!
Mix a bannana with 2 Tblspoons honey. (add 2 Tbls of plain yogart for thicker consistancy)
Apply to face and neck, leave 15 min. and rinse off.
For FEET!
1. Soak feet in warm water, sea salt, sliced lemons, and a few drops of essential oil.
(Use Pumice stone on heels)
2. To exfoliate feet and calves use the following mixture; 1/2 cup sugar, juice of a grapefriut,lemon, and lime, 2 Tbls extra virgin olive oil, w/ a splash of warm water.
Then rinse feet.
3. To finish; apply rich body cream to feet and calves.
