Sun, 5 Oct 2014 Source: The Sun Newspaper

1. Egg white mask Refine your pores and tone your skin with an egg white face mask. Beat one egg white until it is frothy, this takes about three minutes. Spread evenly over clean skin. Leave on for 15 minutes before rinsing off.

2. Olive oil makeup remover Apply extra virgin olive oil to a clean cloth to easily wipe away makeup at the end of the day. This homemade beauty tip doesn’t just make your life easier; it is good for you too! Olive oil is moisturizing. It is rich in vitamin E and it has antibacterial properties.

3. Egg and coconut mask for limp hair Egg adds body and fullness to your hair. Whip together one egg and three tablespoons of conditioning coconut milk for a powerfully nourishing hair mask. Coat hair and then cover with a shower cap. Let the mask set for half an hour, then rinse and shampoo.

4. Avocado mask for dry hair Restore softness and shine to dry, damaged hair with half of a ripe avocado and a vitamin E rich oil like olive or sweet almond oil. This is an amazing replenishing beauty treatment to use if your hair has been damaged from over styling or from colour treatments.

5. The wash cloth lip scrub Do you have chapped, flaking lips? Gently scrub away dry skin with a warm, wet cloth. After exfoliating, coat lips with your favourite lip balm or any other moisturizer that you may have in your home.

6. Moisturize with coconut oil Rub virgin coconut oil into dry skin and chapped lips for soothing relief. Not only does coconut oil quickly absorb into the skin, but it also has a lovely smell!

7. Honey for acne Raw honey is excellent for improving blemished skin. It has antibacterial properties and it is soothing. Use it as a spot treatment for pimples or apply it over your skin as a face mask.

Remember, looking good remains good business!
