Make a body lotion by mixing equal proportions of glycerine and rosewater.

A handfull of oatmeal in your bath will help soften skin.

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!!!

rock salt and olive oil makes a great body scrub. great for rough patches on feet.
vinegar as a rinse makes hair shiny.

egg yolk on hair is a good conditioner, makes it shiny (note you have to rinse if off in cool water or else it scrambles on your head!!!)

lemon juice is good to soak nails in for strength and to whiten them.

cheap hair conditioner is better than shaving foam for legs and under arms, also leaves the skin softer.

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.
