Natalie Durkovich from Columbia Tribune has come up with these some easy beauty product recipes that are effective as well as inexpensive.
BEER
Some of you may wince at the idea of using beer as a beauty product and that it’s a waste if it’s not going down your throat. But this should be worth a try.
Have dull hair? Dunk a bottle of beer over your head after shampooing. Beer is packed with proteins that plump up your hair cuticle, giving you that enviable natural volume while its vitamin B properties promote shine.
OATMEAL
Mmm…oatmeal. I usually prefer my oats with warm milk and a spoonful of brown sugar, especially in winter. But there’s a reason why oats are prevalent in many beauty products such as masques, scrubs, moisturizers, etc. Oatmeal has been clinically shown to relieve itchy, dry skin because of their soothing, anti-inflammatory benefits, not to mention it also helps soften the skin.
Place a handful of oats in a wash cloth and secure. Dip the washcloth in a bowl of warm water and squeeze until the water is murky. Splash the water on your face and let it dry before rinsing.
ORANGES
At the end of the month, I seem to find myself on my knees in front of the refrigerator, grimacing as I throw bag after bag of bruised oranges my husband insists on buying every week. But here’s something that may persuade me to lug these oranges out to my bathroom cabinet instead.
Oranges restore balance to dry skin and help stimulate skin surface circulation to soften rough skin. Squeeze half of the orange juice into a bowl and mix with ¼ cup granulated sugar and ¼ cup olive oil. Rub the remaining half of the orange over the rough spots like elbows, knees, back of heels, etc, then follow with the orange scrub. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
