Caring for your hair and skin can eventually drain your pocketbook. I know how this economy can drain your finances and leave you without very much to spend on some luxueries. Having a salon facial can be expensive and that's why I am here today, to teach you how you can make your own face, hair cleansers and conditioners with items you have in your own kitchen.
After years working in the beauty industry, I came to realize that the best hair & skin products are available inside your own kitchen cabinets. By cleansing your hair and skin with fresh fruits, vegetables & herbal plants, you can restore, repair and replenish the luster in your hair you have been lacking of for so long. And the ability to restore that young looking skin you've lost through the years is a great thing. For only pennies you can have celebrity looking hair and skin. These homemade cleansers, masks & conditioners will revitalize your skin & hair to maintain you looking fabulous.
In your kitchen you have an amazing amount of foods that can repair, smoothen, and remove many facial & hair soils and the residue left behind from many hair products.
Store bought cleansers are good for you but they can become very costly through time. A jar of one of the most popular face cleansers can take you back from $75.00 to $150.00 dollars depending on the brand you choose. In most inexpensive department stores face & body cleansers can run from $4.00 to $40.00 dollars. As a society full of people that want to always look good but do not want to spend too much money on hair and skin products as myself, just because it says its good for you. Most of the products used in these store bought hair conditioners, hair repair kits, skin cleansers and moisturizers don't have the amazing amount of pure deep ingredients as an avocado, mayonnaise, cloves or eggs have. They use these same foods in very small amounts...but in your home you can get 100% of these plants, fruits & vegetables to make your skin & hair even better for less than $2.00 dollars..
Lets start with vegetables.
AVOCADOS:
An avocado is full of healthy fats, healthy oils, its one of the best foods the body can consume and one of the best hair and skin repair foods we can use. Its contents can restore the elasticity you have lost in your skin. It brings back the shine while also mending split hair ends.
Use one very ripe avocado, mash it well then add to it 1 whipped egg yolk, 1/8 teaspoon of mayonnaise & 1/8 teaspoon of pure honey. Use it as a great deep penetrating hair repair conditioner. In your hands pour some shampoo then pour on that hand some baking soda, shampoo your hair real good with it. This will remove all the soils left behind from hair products like hair spray. gels and mousses. If your hair still feels gummy repeat the baking soda shampoo once again. Then apply the avocado mixture to your hair, leave it on for 1 hour with a plastic bag on it. Then shampoo again before using an instant conditioner, towel dry your hair then use a good glaze to blow dry and style your hair. Glazes is the best thing to use on your hair. They are very gentle to the hair and a good glaze will not leave a pounding redue that will droop your hair. Your hair should feel soft, it should look shiney and very bouncy. Do this procedure every time your hair feels and looks droopy and dull or once a month.
Use this mixture also on your face, leave it on for about 20 minutes then scrub gently with your fingertips before rinsing with warm water, then use as a moisturizer this mixture..
Mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt...mix well then put it all over your face, leave it on your face for 10 minutes, then rinse off with cold water. Your face should feel fabulous and it should look healthy and rosy. Before bed take a small amount of petroleum jelly and rub it around your eyes and face. Use the petroleum jelly on your knees, elbows and the bottom of your feet to soften those rough spots overnight.
For a mask first put petrolleum jelly around your eyes then whip 1 egg yolk and put it all over your face, wait 30 minutes. By then it should have hardened and then rinse your face with warm water. Your face will feel great.
Here are some household products that can cleanse, restore, repair, and replenish your face and hair bringing it back to life again:
