NATURAL CURES FOR YOUR BOD!

Recently, over on AOL, they featured some really neat natural “cures” for your bod. Most of them looked really neat, and seemed to be worthwhile. So we give the best of their tips:

Put beer in a spray bottle. When you have finished washing and conditioning your hair, spray your hair thoroughly with the beer. Comb it through carefully. Blow dry as always. The beer yeast is rich in protein and vitamin B, which help flyaway hairs stay put and add shine.

Apple sauce deep cleanser:

  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons applesauce
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

    • Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and stir well. In the bathtub or shower, apply the scrub in a circular motion to the areas below the neck where breakouts are most common (back, chest and neck). Rinse.
    How it works: Apples are high in malic acid and amylase enzymes, which slough away dead skin and dirt that can clog pores and cause breakouts. Sugar polishes away rough spots. And olive oil helps leave skin feeling soft and smooth.

    For minty fresh, soft feet, try:

  • 15 fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sweet almond oil

    • Crush mint leaves (don’t chop; crushing brings out oils in the leaves) with the back of a spoon. In a bowl, combine mint, sugar and almond oil. Scrub feet with mixture, paying special attention to rough spots. Rinse.
    How it works: Brown sugar exfoliates, sweet almond oil moisturizes and the mint leaves give your soles and senses a refreshing lift. And when you take off your shoes at day’s end, won’t you be pleasantly surprised?!
