   Well, one that I use for an easy face mask is whole milk and cocoa powder (not cocoa mix but the unsweetened stuff), you just mix a little mix and enough cocoa to make a paste.
   To use:
   Wash face
   Apply mask
   Let set (it won’t actually dry) for 15 minutes or so
   Rinse completely

   * put lotion on your hands and feet at night and wear gloves n socks to sleep. wake up wih super soft hands and feet!

   * lightly brush your lips with a toothbrush and put vaseline for soft lips.

   * for shiny hair, wash off your shampoo/conditioner with cold water

   * use tooth paste on any zits to make the swelling go down and make it less red

   * instead of purchasing expensive facial scrubs, use a small handful of regular white sugar. just lather up your face with a cleanser, then scrub in the sugar using your finger tips in small circular motions

   * to soften your skin and minimize pores, apply beaten egg yolk to your face and let dry for 10 minutes, then rinse

   * if you don’t have electronic eyelash curler, heat your normal curler under a hairdryer before using it. it works much better.

   * if you have dry cuticles, rub them with lip balm

   * a great way to make your perfume last is by spraying it into your hands and rubbing it on your hair. your hair doesn’t sweat so the scent will last all day

   * to get rid of annoying eyebags, put a metal spoon into ice cold water and press it gently against your eyes.

   * for bigger eyes, apply darker eyeliner on the outer corner of your eyes and brighter eyeliner on the innercorner of your eyes

   * To make lips bigger put clear lip gloss in the middle of ur lips.

   * to make beautiful temporary curls, wash your hair at night and braid them while it’s wet. then go sleep. you will see the result the next morning when u untie your braids!

   * Rub a dry body brush in circular motions on your stomach and legs everyday before you shower. This increases the circulation in you body and helps reduce the appearance of cellulite.

   * roll the mascara brush as your putin it on, it avoids clumps

   * Soak cloth with hot water (the hottest that you can stand. Be careful though) then put over face for 10 minutes. Then quickly put a cleanser over your face. (Clean & Clear and Noxzema foaming wash are good cleansers) Leave on for 3-4 minutes then wash with ice cold water. This will open your pores, clean them, and then close them. You’ll see results within a week.

   * If you have green eyes, wear purple shadow because it brings the color out
   If you have blue eyes wear brown because it brings the color out
   If you have blue/green eyes , wear a mix of both.

   * After applying lipstick, stick your thumb in your mouth, and then slowly pull it out. This removes any lipstick from the inside rim of your lips so you don’t get lipstick on your teeth.

   * To minimize the appearance of a pimple, hold ice on it for two minutes. It brings the swelling and redness down.

   * before bed add a tiny bit of honey and some water in the palm of your hand and spread it across your face, avoiding the T zone. smooth and soft face int he morning

   * Dont bite the skin around your nails, this causes your nails to look bigger

   * If you have big lips, use muted colours such as purples, browns and bronzes.
   If you have small lips, avoid dark colours.

   * no matter how dry your lips is. don’t lick it! trust me it’ll just make it worse!

   * after you have done all your makeup, take some shimmery white eyeshadow and put a tiny bit on the inner corners or your eyes. It really makes them POP!

   * Everynight an hour before you go to bed, drink 3/4 of a pint of water mixed with 1/4 of a pint of lemon juice. Once you are done, drink a glass of ice water, then go pee. This will help clear your complexion.

   * for an overall glow n radiance to your face, mix honey and milk until it’s creamy. wash your face with hot water to open pores. apply the mixture avoiding the T area of your face. wait for 30 minutes and wash off with cold water.

   * To remove blackheads, steam for 5 mins and exfoliate immediately.

   * Rub vaseline on your eyelashes every night. Smear it in between every single lash and all around your lash line. If you do this every day, it will eventually make your lashes grow in faster and softer.

   * Blowing on your nail polish to dry them decreases shine and dulls them. Instead, soak your nails in ice water after your done and if you must, use your blowdryer on low, cool setting just to blow off the water. Now don’t touch anything!

   * Pour a tablespoonful of honey into a small bowl. Add two teaspoons of sugar and mix well. Now scoop up all of the mixture with your fingers and massage well into your hands for a few minutes. Sounds yucky but feels great! Rinse and apply hand lotion. Soft!

   You can make a homemade hair conditioner that you use when your hair is very dry. I do not know the exact amount of every thing but I am sure if you look up these ingredients then you will find the exact amounts.

   You use Mayo, Tomato, and Vinegar

   Well, I found an article like that once, and I read it and ate it up! I now actually use all those weird beauty tricks and many of them work. For example, I like using toothpaste on zits. It absorbs the oil and makes it a lot less red. I also put 1 part vinegar and 5 parts water mixture on my hair for 10 minutes before washing to add shine. I use mashed up avocado as a moisturizer, mist my hairbrush with hairspray to help my hair hold volume/shine and smother cold sores in deep moisturizing cream. I’ve also made a face wash out of honey and sugar, it was supposed to help with acne, didn’t work too well but smelled great. If you dedicate a little time to internet searching you can find all types of weird crap like this.

   Honey Mask Recipe
   The best facial mask is honey. Place a cloth in warm water and apply to your face to open the pores. Smear on honey, and leave on for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, then use cold water to close the pores. Use once a week.

   Miracle Whip Exfoliator
   (By Victoria, Anti-aging Beauty Tips)

   “Yes, I am talking about the same Miracle Whip your Aunt Mable uses in her macaroni salad. Apparently, women all over the US are using this salad dressing ingredient on their faces to remove dead flaky skin.

   I have not tried it myself, but supposedly, KRAFT MIRACLE WHIP Exfoliating Facial makes an amazing treatment for normalizing over-oily skin.

   Here is how you apply this “miracle cream”:

   Make sure all your hair is pulled back from your face. Apply a thin layer of the KMW all over your face, up to the eyelashes and make sure to also put some on your neck. The “fumes” from the vinegar may bother you so walk around the house to try to escape them. LOL!

   Leave on for 10 minutes, then massage gently. The dead skin cells on your face will roll off in rubbery little balls. Rinse your skin with tepid water, then cleanse as usual following your regular beauty regime. If you apply the KMW every day, in 6-8 weeks your skin should be completely renewed.

   I cannot help but wonder if this Miracle Whip eats away at the dead skin cells on your face, what does it do to the inside of the body when someone eats it?? Pretty scary!!! One person believes that the vinegar in the Miracle Whip is what causes the exfoliation and rejuvenation. If that is true, why not try a mixture of organic apple cider vinegar with some olive oil, apply that and see what happens? One could whip together the olive oil and apple cider vinegar, apply it to their face and then use the leftovers on their salad!

   I think I will start experimenting with some ingredients and try to come up with a facial recipe to rival the KRAFT MIRACLE WHIP!”

   Special Note from Lucie (site owner):
   “After reading Victoria’s email about the Miracle Whip beauty trick (the above is an excerpt from that email), I bought a small jar of Miracle Whip. I applied a slighter thicker layer than was recommended and the vinegar smell was unpleasantly strong.

   After a minute or two, the Miracle Whip ‘melted’ and my face was very shiny and oily (yuck!). After 10 minutes, I washed the Whip away and I couldn’t believe the results. All the flaky dry skin was gone and my skin felt tight and smooth. Very strange!”

   To remove the dark marks caused by a bad sun tan, add 5 table spoons of rose water to one table spoon of lime juice and apply to face or affected area at night. Wash off with water the next morning to find clear beautiful skin.

   To keep your skin and body smelling nice the whole day, add dried rose petals to your bath water. You are sure to smell lovely the whole day.. No need for an expensive perfume!

   Chewing a cardamom is an excellent remedy for bad breath and also cuts down on excessive thirst.

   To get rid of oily hair, just add three teaspoons of lime juice in the final rinse while washing your hair. Your hair will become much more manageable. Try this for two times in a week for two weeks to see astonishing results.

   In order to get a cheap and effective face mask, grind a mixture of fruit (orange, lemon) and Vegetable (Cucumber) peels in a mixer. Apply the mixture as a face pack and wash after 20 minutes. Try this once daily, for 7 days to see a marked improvement in facial skin. Find glowing skin in a few days.

   Remove scars on your hands and feet the natural way …. Rub them with lemon peels 5- 7 minutes a day, twice a day for 7 days to see a marked improvement.

   Try this alternative face mask: Prepare a mixture of sandal wood paste and raw milk in the ratio 1: 3 and rub on your face and hands. Leave for 15 minutes and wash off. Find glowing, beautiful lovely smelling skin. Try this once every two days for ten days and enjoy the difference.

   For sparkling teeth , try sprinkling a pinch of soda bicarbonate on your tooth brush and brushing your teeth once a day for 10 days … You will be amazed by the difference you can see after just 5 days .

   Use the scrapings of bitter gourd ( Karela) to remove pimples and get rid of acne and black heads. Just rub the scrapings (peels) on your face, once a day for 3- 5 days to see, blackheads vanish and a marked reduction in pimples and acne.

   To treat darkened elbows and lower arms, an effective solution is to prepare a paste of fresh milk cream, pinch of turmeric powder and two to three drops of basil ( tulsi) leaf extract . Apply this paste to the darkened are and leave overnight. Wash off in the morning. Repeat for 7 nights to find marked improvement.

   To give your hair bounce, mix gram flour ( besan) with Starch from cooked rice and apply to hair . Wash after few minutes to find hair with flair.

   To cure bad breath, boil a few fenugreek (methi) leaves in water and then use this water for gargling. You will find a marked improvement within 3 days of this usage.

   To prevent pimples and reduce acne, wash your face with raw milk before you go to sleep. This is an effective and easy solution.

   To prevent body odor, add a little ‘alum’ to your bath water.

   To smoothen wrinkles and moisturize the skin the natural way, peel and core a small apple, mash it well and blend with one teaspoon of honey. Apply this mixture on the face and neck slowly in an upwards direction. Wash off with warm water after 15 minutes to see a marked improvement. Try this thrice a week for 3 weeks and then only once a week to find a distinct lack of wrinkles and moisturized skin.

   For healthy and voluminous hair, heat coconut oil, add two flakes of garlic and three peppercorns to it. Cool and apply to your scalp for health hair.

   One very effective way to cure bad breath is to eat a green unripe apple. It will naturally cleanse your mouth and give it a fresh feel. If apples are unavailable try a semi hard citrus fruit. It should be equally effective.

   Rub your teeth with burnt almond shell powder to reduce the yellow tint. See a marked improvement in 7 days.

   To moisturize and make smooth dry cracked skin, apply a mixture of glycerin, fresh cream and honey in the ratio 1: 1: 1. This is an effective cure for cracked heels also.

    I found that vinegar works wonders on cleaning hair. It sounds gross, but it really works. It strips your hair of its oils.

    Use avocado and honey. My mother, at 98, only has wrinkles around her eyes. he eats avocado all the time, is good for your digestive system. She uses it as butter for her bread. She also uses it as face mask, alternating with honey. She puts it in her hair as an oil bath. She also uses honey to scrub her legs and to whitten her teeth. She is a sweet lady!
