Homemade Beauty Tips

When you are talking about beauty tips it not only covers your skin, but also your hair, your hands, and your whole body. You can go to your local department store and buy a variety of over the counter products for your face, hands, hair, and other areas of your body, but when you read the long list of ingredients in these products you are not sure just exactly what you are putting on your body. To alleviate all those questions and help to save money, use homemade beauty products that are natural with no added chemicals.
Here are some homemade beauty recipes for your skin.
Oatmeal is an excellent natural scrub to help remove the dead cells from your face. Use a paste of one half cup of water and one half of oatmeal.
Cucumbers are a natural astringent that will help slow down the aging process and tighten your skin. Grate cucumber and extract juices and apply juices to your face with a cotton ball, let dry for twenty minutes, then rinse with cold water.
Make a face mask of egg yolk with one egg yolk, one half tablespoon lemon juice and one half tablespoon of olive oil. Put it on your face, let dry for fifteen minutes, and then rinse off with water. Good for dry to normal skin.
Here are some homemade beauty recipes for your hair.
For dandruff you can use a brown sugar scalp scrub. You need to mix one part conditioner and two parts brown sugar and then lightly rub this mixture on your scalp. But be careful when you do this to not tangle your hair and then rinse it thoroughly with warm water.
You can also moisturize your hair with a mix of olive oil and honey to your conditioner if you have dry hair. If your hair is oily you should avoid moisturizing your hair. You could you also use mayonnaise on your hair if it is dry. With either one apply it to wet hair and then wash your hair thoroughly with the mixture. Rinse your hair and then shampoo it if necessary.
