All Natural Beauty Remedies on a Dime

I’ve just moved into a brand new apartment in Hallandale and in the process of moving I’ve gone well, broke. I’ve drained my savings and paycheck on fee’s and new furniture and deposits and have definitely left myself rubbing 2 pennies in hopes of making 5 cents. To shave many of my expenses for the march of March and April I’ve come across some awesome at home (cheap) remedies for everyday things.

Seeing as my drugstore trips and beauty salon days have been stripped, I’ve found alternatives to beauty treatments in my fridge and pantry. Not only do they taste good, but they actually work.

Mayonnaise

I won’t be affording any deep conditioning treatments this month, but if you like mayonnaise on your sandwich, trying putting it in your hair. Mayonnaise is an amazing deep conditioner. Coat your strands with it and cover with a plastic shower cap for 15 minutes then rinse. Voila! You have luscious beautiful hair.

Eggs

Whip of one egg white and spread it on your clean face for a firming mask that fights oily skin, add a few drops of lemon juice to fight those nasty blackheads. If you’re more like me and have dry skin, use an egg yolk with a spoon of honey instead.

Oatmeal

I love eating oatmeal in the morning, but it can also be used as an awesome face mask. Mix half a cup of oats with hot water and let it cool. After it cools spread it all over your face. It will act as both a skin smoother and a mild exfoliate. Leave it on for 10 minutes and rinse.

Milk

Pour a mixture of 3 cups of milk and a half cup of honey to your bath for the best soothing soak that will leave your skin baby soft.

Aspirin

I love getting pedicures weekly, but seeing as that’s not going to happen. I discovered that aspirin softens calluses on your feet. Take 5aspirin pills and crush them in a bowl with a half teaspoon of water and a half teaspoon of lemon juice. Coat your calluses with the mixture and cover with a warm cloth for 10 minutes. The solution softens the calluses and makes it easy to remove with a pumice stone.

There are so many tricks and tips that I’ve come across from making your own moisturizers and face masks to great sugar body scrubs. Check out Sheet U Deep or My Homemade Beauty Remedies, a great blog I follow.
