Put some salt in a pot (dead sea salt is best) and add your normal shower gel until it becomes the right consistency for a scrub.

You can also make a moisturising scrub by using sugar and oil but personally I haven't managed to get the right consistency yet.

I do the same thing but mix it in with a little honey too!

Just clear hney also makes a very good facemask, helping calm down spotty or sore skin. egg white also makes a slightly tightening facemask, and can also be mixed with honey.

Place cucumber slices on eyelids to help with puffiness. Cut slices of cucumber and rub them over face and neck for instant tightness.

If you put your hairbrush inside an old tight or nylon and then brush your hair with it, it will make your hair shinier.

I love pawpaw and once I have eaten them with a spoon, I turn the skin inside out and rub it over my face.Leave it for a while to dry and then rinse off with lukewarm water. A wonderful skin brightener!!
Blonde hair can be rinsed with cold chamomile tea/infusion - it restores the golden lights!
I add a little foundation to a blob of moisturiser to make a good tinted moisturiser.Mix on back of hand and apply all over face as needed.
My grandmother always washed her hair in rainwater, collected in a rain butt. Gives lovely shiny hair!!

Use 1/2 cup of olive oil and 1/2 cup of salt, mix together and use as a moisturising body exfoliator. It's perfect for dry and normal skin and gives skin a refresh!

leave oil in hair overnight for an excellent intensive treatment!! takes a good scrubbing to get it out tho but worth it!!

vaseline on lashes and brows helps them grow!

use bicarb of soda one a week to brush ur teeth and it whitens them!! dont use it more than once a week tho as not entirely good 4 them so my dentist ssays

if like me after a few days of having fake tan on it goes a little blothchy instead of scrubbing your skin raw apply baby oil all over leave it 4 a while and then use an exfoiliating mit/scrub in a hot bath to remove it!! so soft skin!

also i use baby oil when my skin is really dry i apply it to my wet skin and leave it to soak in....really works!

Olive oil with few drops of essential oil lavender or tea tree depending on how my skin is on my face overnight gives me really baby soft skin....hopefully less lined too

For acne-prone skin - 1part lemon juice, 2 parts honey + enough oats to make it dry enough to scrub your face with = antibacterial anti-spot scrub.
For lots of dead/dry skin - honey + cornmeal with remove dead/dry skin on face, hands and feet, but it's a bit harsh.
For nasty fungal-type things on your feet - scrub feet with cornmeal scrub, dry thoroughly then paint affected areas with rosemary oil. Or just add the oil to the scrub - it's a fungicide.
