Five quick fixes: Fast and Cheap [Via HomeMadeSkinCareRemedies.com ]
1. Squeeze an orange and, using your fingers, pat the liquid on your face. The juice will evaporate quickly and leave you with a radiant glow. Plus you’ll have the benefits of the antioxidant vitamin C.
2. Mash half a banana and rub it into patches of dry skin. Leave it on for 5 minutes, then rinse well. Your skin will be baby soft. BONUS: the potassium in the banana will help erase the dark circles under your eyes.
3. Snip off the foot section from an old pair of pantyhose and fill with one cup uncooked oatmeal. Now carefully tie the "oatmeal foot" to the faucet of your tub (you want the water to run through the oatmeal). Now fill the tub and soak away your dry, itchy skin.
4. Blend 2 cups crushed macadamia nuts with 2 sprigs fresh mint and a half-cup of honey. Mix into a paste and rub over your body to exfoliate dead skin. Rinse and pat dry.
5. Mash a ripe mango with one tablespoon plain yogurt. Add 2 egg yolks and blend. Work the mix into your hair, then cover your head with a shower cap and leave in place 20 minutes. Shampoo thoroughly. It’s the ultimate hair conditioner!

i tried the banana one last night. i cut a piece off the end and rubbed the cut part all over my face. i left it on for 5 minutes like instructed and it left my face softer than ever. i didn’t think it would moisturize much since it felt kinda tight while drying on my face. but it made me feel like i just had a facial…soft, smooth, and supple.
i should have known that fruits could do all sorts of wonders for our bodies. keep up with the homemade tips cuz they’re great! =)
