DIY Spa Treatments

I've never tried any diy treatments. The ones I use come prepacked. But I do like the thought of the hair one. I think I'll give that a try. Thanks

Very interesting to read about your endevours for bettering your beauty and softness. But why all these? You are genuinely beautiful as can be seen from your present photograph. I do like this one than the earlier two. So God has blessed you with an attractive face and other features. Preserving it in the proper way is very good.

I have used mayo in my hair and left it is for a few hours that also works well. I have also used beer for a rinse that makes it shinny. I know avacado will work for your face also. Thats all I have.

That are super ideas, I didnt know about that and maybe I will try one or two.
Something else as you mention lemon juice. When you want to prevent your hands from smelling of onion when you peel them, rub a good dash of lemon juice into your hands first before you start peeling the onions. It really prevents the smell from getting into your hands and I am doing this all the time before peeling and cutting them.

Mayonnaise is supposed to be wonderful for your hair. The body wash you did with brown sugar is a great exfoliant. Using either sugar or salt with some liquid is a great scrub. Also, the lemon can help fade spots on the skin. Oatmeal is supposed to be good for oily skin. Egg whites are good for something, but I don't remember what. Probably it's good for oily skin too, as I can imagine it would soak up oil.

I have heard but I've never tried this. I read somewhere that strawberries can help whiten your teeth. Sounds kind of odd to me, but it might be worth looking into.

I love to concoct my own stuff. My two favorite facials are 1) mix oatmeal with water - put on your face till dry and then take a hot towel and place it over your face. Skin feels great after. The other is using egg whites. Mix them up a bit and then put on face - again a warm towel to wash off.

I can't think of any off hand but over the years I know I have done some 'strange' things - I like the sound of all of these you did though and just may treat myself to a day at the 'spa'. Thanks for the tips.

We have used lemon on our faces for years it helps fade freckles and brown spots. We have also used strawberries and cut inhalf and just rub all over face. We so have a oatmeal mask. We put in quick oats with a little egg white to make a thick paste then we slather on face and let almost dry then we take our hands and in circular motion we rub the oats off and it sloughs off dead skin cells as it comes off then we take a little bit of honey with a teaspoon of plain yogurt and dab of olive oil and smooth over our face for 30 minutes then we rinse off with warm water. Pat dry. then take a little olive oil on your finger tips and rub in on your face not enough to be a greasy feeling though and you will have smooth soft skin. Do this once a week. I have also heard of using corn meal with honey and egg whites. works just as well.. And to tighten pores take a piece of cloth put in some quick oats and a little 1/8 teaspoon of honey and tie it and put it in some warm milk and make the oats soppy in the cloth and squeeze excess milk out but leave gooing and put on your face,neck,body, it will tighten them pores nicely and then rinse with warm water. and pat dry dop not rub.

I have a friend who swears by covering the hair in olive oil and letting it sit...almost like a hot oil treatment, but it isn't hot and its so much better for the hair because it is natural. I have also heard of the mayonaise treatment mentioned above but don't know anyone who has better results than with the olive oil.

No, I haven't been using any home made masks on my face or hair but will start doing it as I read some great once on this discussion and thank you for sharing it;)
