DIY Treatments in the Kitchen
Natural beauty care is the best care you can get. Below are some beauty secrets of mine, trust me they really does work. I know it's a lot of work getting the incredients and get your kitchen all messy, but it's really all worth it.

Treatments for the Face

Here are some of my favourite masks, try them and they will improve your skin's texture, softness, and clearity.

Mayonnaise Mask
This is a very easy beauty tip, just apply mayonnaise on your face for about 20 minutes, then rinse with cool water. This mask will give your skin a better texture. You will love it if you have sensitive skin with red bumps.

Peach & Brandy Mask
This is also a easy mask. Mash up a peach (use ripe, canned, or frozen), and mix in a tablespoon of brandy. Leave it on for 20 minutes, and rinse off.

Treatments for the Hair

Here's some basic hair treatments

Egg Shampoo
  • Beat 2 eggs in a cup of warm water
  • Massage the mixture into wet hair
  • Leave on 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse in tepid water.
    Remember not to use hot water, or you will have cooked eggs in your hair and impossible to get out.

    Lather & Strengthen
    Mix an egg to your shampoo. Again, don't rinse with hot water.

    To thinken Hair
    Add a tablespoon of powdered gelatin to your shampoo.

    Treatments for The Body

    Here's one of my favourite bath treatment

    Milk Bath
    I call this treatment milk bath because if its soften affect, milk, baking soda, and cornstarch are used for soothing and smoothing, and sea salt for toning effect.

    Ingredients:
    1 cup (237 ml) powdered milk
    1/2 cup (118 ml) sea salt
    1 tablespoon (15 ml) baking soda
    1 teaspoon (5 ml) cornstarch
    a few drops of your favourite essential oil

    Instructions:

  • Mix everything in a bowl
  • You can also add some soap flakes to your milk bath to make a foaming bath version.
