I've made lots of salt scrubs for the bath - sea salt mixed with oil, then some drops of something that smells nice! (also, put it in a nice jar with a ribbon and it's a great gift!)

Do you have a "recipe" I love salt scrubs normally buy it when Avon has theirs on special offer. would be great to do a homemade one!

If they have long hair that gets dry ends, tell them to rub olive oil through it when it's dry. Pile all their hair up in a loose top knot and cover their heads with either a plastic shower cap or wrap in cling film (trapped heat from head makes it work better!) Leave on for a good couple of hours, then wash as normal.

Leaves hair lovely and soft and shiny, and much cheaper than hot oil treatments that never have enough in for long hair :cool:

Trying to think of some that I could try out - however can only think of cucumber over the eyes.

Any one got any ideas - especially to stop my eyes looking tired (apart from going to bed earlier!).

Hi Dora,

Look in the Mega Index thread, in the first post, under Makeup & Body Care and you should find somthing you'd like to try.
