  1. My #1 Beauty product is olive oil. I use it for everything! When my skin is dry i heat a little up and rub my skin down (not too hot, luke warm) I also use this for after sun exposure. I rub it into my hair and scalp and sleep in a shower cap for very soft hair. I will use a little in my bath to soak away rough skin, and rub it into dry cuticles daily, and use it for chapped lips. It’s also a great way to extend a lip gloss. Add a little olive oil to the tube and zap it in the microwave.
    I also love 2 baby aspirin, dissolved in a touch of green tea, and a dop of honey for a wonderful acne fighting face mask. Slather on face, rub around to get rid of dead skin, and then rinse.
    Green tea is also one of my favorites! It’s great refreshing and tightening the skin.. Use is to get rid of bags and tired skin in the morning. Also on skin before you hit the beach. The caffeine sucks things in a little, making skin appear firm and tone.
    Corn starch is great for getting rid of greasy looking strands of hair. Rub a little into hair and comb out. hair can also be perfumed with any essential oil for a fresh clean smell.
    Okay this is all I can think of for now. I hope it helps.

  2. Mix baking soda with 3% hydrogen peroxide with non-fluoridated toothpaste(from the health store) and brush your teeth. The baking soda and hydrogen peroxide will whiten your teeth, the toothpaste is for the taste. Also if you get a bad after taste from the hydrogen peroxide just use some mouthwash.
    A little bit of advice, Dont use Fluoridated toothpaste, it actually decays your teeth and your bones slowly. Drink either distilled water or reverse osmosis water with no fluoride.

  3. Vaseline if you have dry skin. This stuff works WONDERS. My dad has severely dry, burnt, farmers tan skin… and that’s what he uses. He recommended it to me, since I apparently inherited his dry skin. I use it for moisturizing my face after I get out of the shower, and it makes great chapstick as well, just don’t get it in your mouth, lol. I’ve read on the internet that its also good for putting on your eyelashes to strengthen them.
    There are a ton of home made facial masks and what not out there too, but my favorite home remedy is def. Vaseline. (I was using an offbrand–equate, that had aloe in it, but switched to Vaseline cocoa butter which works even better. Gives you a natural glow, actually.)

  4. Well I don’t use many home remedies but I did try honey in the bath tub…. I don’t know for you but it made me feel quite soft when I was done. Also I had orange peels in the bath before it smells very nice and cleared my mind nicely I was actually relaxed. =)

  5. Drink a teaspoonful of olive oil every day. It will give you a lovely dewy complexion and make your skin and hair nice and soft. But you have to keep doing it.

  6. this one time I put olive oil in my hair to see if it made it smooth. I took a shower and it seemed to work a little. Made my hair oily, who knew.

  7. I have found that 1 table spoon of apple cider vinegar will stop the hick-ups.

  8. Baking soda in a warm bath to get rid of sunburn
    and
    Neosporin usually gets rid of pimples overnight

  9. Use baking powder with you’re toothpaste.

  10. Toothpaste on pimples.

  11. a banana peal on a wort
