Well, today I decided to do some experimenting...

I wanted to make my own face mask, but I didn't have enough ingredients so I just rubbed some lemon on my face (hey, the website told me to!) and then used an old face mask I had lying around. My skin feels really soft now.. I am not sure if the lemon did anything, but it did sting a little.

I also thought while that was drying I would make a hair mask. I used some eggs and olive oil, put it in there and wrapped my hair up in saran wrap. Now my hair is really soft and feels light. I also washed it with dish soap, though (trying to make my dye fade.)

Then I thought while those are sitting on my face/head I would concoct a body wash out of brown sugar and lemon. I used it in the shower and my skin is soooo soft now. It smells really good too.

Okay so the point... do you know any DIY treatments like these? Have you tried any and how did they work?

I love those DIY spa treatments and have used lemon on my face also and my hair as well. Lemon makes my hair shine but I do not use is very much because I am afraid it will dry my hair out. I eat a lot of suger and have not used it on my skin but I bet it is good for your skin and I will have to try it.

My mom used to use Hellman's Mayonnaise on her hair. She had thick dry hair and it made it so shiny and soft.
I don't know of any other homemade beauty treatments. I would love to find a good one for my face. It has been feeling so tight and dry lately.


myLot reputation of 64/100. wooitsmolly (1440)   ranked 100 out of 3,061 in health  2 years ago

I may try the mayonnaise sometime. I have really thick, dry hair too. You could try googling "diy face mask" or something. I remember seeing one for dry skin, but I don't remember what was in it..

As you know now days they are selling stuff like this micodermabrasion, and it is suppose to rid your face of the top layer of skin and help cell growth,well my Mom had a very good reciept for this,so here it is i will share it with you..Wet a wash cloth with warm water,put some mild soap on the wash cloth and take a teaspoon of cornmeal and put on the wash cloth with the soap,massage it all over your face,it will seem a little harsh but it will rid your skin of all impurities,when you are done,rinse your face with warm water...your face will feel so clean...You can follow with any face cream of your choice.My Mom also use to wash her face with warm water and out real mayonaise on her face and rub it in,she would leave it on around 15 minutes,then remove it.Mayonaise has oil and lemon juice and egg whites,very good for your face.my mom was almost 89 years old when she passed away and she had beautiful skin and very few wrinkles...

Thanks!! I saved the tips on my computer so I'll have to try them soon!:)

I've been meaning to try some DIY treatments, I've purchased some products, but I know there are so many good DIY treatments that work just as well, if not better.

Oh yes, I mix stuff from time to time (mostly when I have time and energy). And I find them working quite well. I like the yoghurt mask the best because it's really simple and effective. Oh and I collect all the homemade recipes I found interesting at: http://beauty-tricks.com/...

Hey wim,
Thanks for those tips-I have one for ya-when I got norplants it messed up my skin so I did a self test I took the peels from oranges pressed them back until the acid was erupting & rubbed it one side of my face to see if it would smooth out the marks that were left on my face & it worked!

i posted a similar discussion a few days ago, i know lemon juice is good for your hair but i didn't know it was supposed to be good for your skin, i like your hair mask idea but what is the smell like afterwards?


myLot reputation of 64/100. wooitsmolly (1440)   ranked 100 out of 3,061 in health  2 years ago

I actually didn't really smell it, but you are supposed to wash your hair afterwards anyway, so that would get rid of the smell.

I have done this one for smooth skin and it works great. Take an old washcloth lay it flat, add about 2 tablespoons of instant plain oatmeal to the center of it. Pull the corners and sides up and a put a rubber band around it so you have the oatmeal trapped in it. Now shower as normal. When finished rub your skin with table salt to exfoliate your skin, don’t press hard. Rinse, then rub your oatmeal washcloth over your body then rinse again. You’re done! I have used this many times and it leaves my skin is so darn smooth when I finished. Try it and see.:oD

Braggs Apple cider vinegar is great for the hair. Use it as a rinse after you shampoo, then rinse well, and condition hair as usual. Also you can gently rub it on your face, let it dry, then rinse off. The apple cider tones the skin and makes it soft. Apple masks are good, as well as honey based masks.
