    Face mask for oily skin = one egg white and 30g cornflour.
    Face mask for dry skin = liquidize a cucumber with a carton of natural yoghurt.
    = one egg yolk with 2.5 ml (1/2 tsp) olive oil and 2.5 ml lemon juice.

    Use the skin of an avacado to soften elbows, and lemon skins to whiten elbows!!!

    Rinse fine hair in beer to give it more body.

    Rosewater makes a good skin toner. Can also be mixed with either glycerine for dry skin or white hazel if you want a more astringent one.
