Mix two whole eggs with four tablespoons of olive oil. Smooth through hair. Wrap head with plastic wrap, and leave in hair for 10 minutes. Rinse well.<\/p>\n

Banana Wrinkle Fighter Recipe
Banana is wonderful as an anti-wrinkle treatment. Mash 1\/4 banana until very creamy. Spread all over face and leave for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water followed by a dash of cold. Gently pat dry.<\/p>\n

Honey and apple mask
Once a week, give your skin a thorough treatment.
Use a ground apple (remove seeds and core but leave the peel on) mixed with 1-3 teaspoons of honey. Let dry for 15-20 minutes and rinse with cool water. <\/p>\n

Oatmeal Hand Scrub
Recipe for a gentle hand scrub made from oatmeal, lemon juice and olive oil that leave your hands nourished and soft.
Ingredients
2 tbsp oatmeal
1 1\/2 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp olive oil
Directions
Add the oatmeal to 1\/4 cup water and let stand 10 minutes until oatmeal is softened.
Add 1 1\/2 teaspoons lemon juice and 1\/2 teaspoon olive oil to oatmeal and mix well.
Rub mixture into your hands and let stand 1-2 minutes. Rinse with cool water and pat dry. Apply moisturizer to your hands and let it soak in 10-15 minutes. <\/p>\n

Happy Hand Exfoliant
Say good-bye to dry, cracked hands. Even if your gloves haven't been doing their job this winter, this easy-to-make exfoliant will slough off all those dead skin cells. Plus, it cleanses and moisturizes, leaving hands soft and smooth.
Ingredients:
•    1 ounce ground almonds
•    1 teaspoon clear honey
•    2 teaspoons walnut or sunflower oil
•    1 teaspoon lemon juice
 
Directions:
1.    Mix all ingredients together into a thick paste.
2.    Rub a heaping teaspoon all over the hands for two to three minutes and rinse off. Use whenever your hands need some extra TLC.
3.    Try this avocado masque facial for a deep pore cleansing makeover.
4.    
Mash 1\/2 avocado in a small bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of honey, and a touch of cinnamon to brighten skin.
5.    
Mix this homemade concoction well, and spread evenly over your face and neck. Leave the mixture on for twenty to thirty minutes, and then rinse for facial beauty. <\/p>\n

6. Avocado is a wonderful natural ingredient that gently pulls out dirt and oils from your pores. Honey is a natural hydrator and moisturizer, so your clean skin will stay soft and supple. <\/p>\n

Puffy Eyes Remedy
Another method is to use wet, chilled tea bags. Place them over your eyes and leave on for twenty to thirty minutes. If you have dark circles accompanying your puffy eyes, you may want to try using chilled cut apples. If left on long enough, apples can take away the darkness under your eyes as well. <\/p>\n

For many people, puffy eyes can be a constant battle. If you think fluid retention may be the culprit, try eating foods that help with this problem. Bananas and raisins are known for helping to relieve bloat, and will reduce swollen eyes.
Another thing way to help is to make sure your body is properly hydrated. Commit to drinking eight glasses of water per day and consume electrolytes during and after your daily workouts. Lastly, avoid eating too many salty foods as this can drain the water from your body.<\/p>\n
