- Lemon juice. Added to water, this makes a great facial toner.
- Vegetable shortening. This is great for eczema. Heat it in the microwave for 10 seconds, then slather it on.
- Egg whites. For an instant facelift, dab egg whites over your face, sit stock still until it dries, then apply makeup.
- Avocado. Mash one up, mix in a little lemon juice, and apply to face and neck and let it dry.
- Rice flour. This is an "old-timey" secret. Put some in a compact. It is the best face powder money can buy.
- Pumpkin. Out of the can, hold the sugar and cinnamon. It is a great conditioner for the face or whole body.
- Parsley flakes. Put a few spoons in an ice cube tray section, add water, and freeze. Rub it on a pimple and it takes down swelling in a few minutes.
- Coffee grounds. Actually, these are for the whole body, especially problem "rear" and thigh areas. Rub the grounds into your cellulite with a veggie brush. Then wrap with plastic wrap and sit for 15 minutes. Make sure you use full-octane coffee -- no decaf.
- Eggs, honey, lemon juice. This is a mask for rough skin, not dry. Combine one egg, one tablespoon of honey, and a half teaspoon of lemon juice, apply with your fingers and leave it on 20-30 minutes, then rinse and apply freshener.
- Beets. Cut the top off a beet and carry it in her purse as a lip stain.
