deep conditioner for dry hair? Use olive oil, on hair, heat it a little, whack it on, wash it off after an hour.
dry skin body scrub: cooking oil (any cheapo will do) and ordinary caster sugar: makes a great body scrub. Whack it on, wash it off, soft skin for pennies.
greasy skin? gram flour (or cornflour) a few tablespoons and teaspoon of turmeric with a little turmeric made into a paste makes a good face mask.
want to tighten facial pores? use egg white, a brush, whack it on, wash it off with cold water.
mashed cucumber: great hydrating mask for face.
mashed papaya: applied to face, works like a mild chemical peel. It's used to tenderise meat, in some cultures. Don;t leave it on too long, though.
red wine in the bath: good antioxidant, relaxing. Cheap bottle you'd use for cooking is fine.
beer rinse: use beer (preferably a brown ale, stout or guinness type) as a final rinse after washing/conditioning hair. Makes hair shiny. Best on brown hair.
vinegar rinse: watered down, vinegar rinses help with greasy scalps.
blonde hair? steep 3 or 4 chamomile teabags in warm water, use as a final rinse on hair.
sheesh, I have loads of these... haha
