Do you spend a lot of money on expensive beauty products? Consider the great beauty treatments found in the "kitchen cupboard." Many of these beauty treatments, like the use of olive oil and yogurt, have been around since the ancient world, and the cosmetic uses of these ingredients can be found in ancient literature of the Egyptians, Hebrews, Greeks, Romans, Mesopotamians and Mycenaeans, among other ancient peoples.

For the moderns, use of these household items not only help to save money, but most find that these natural and low-cost ingredients often work better than the cosmetics made from expensive & artificial ingredients. Here are just a few beauty uses of ordinary household products from the kitchen and the garden:

For the hair, mayonnaise, honey, mashed avocado, and egg yolk makes a fine hair moisturizer. Even just mayonnaise rubbed into the hair and let stand for 15 minutes before washing the hair. For more uses of mayonnaise as a hair conditioner go to: http://www.myhouseandgarden.com/tips.htm.

For a facial mask, use a combination of grated carrot, mayonnaise, Epsom salts. A recipe can be found at http://www.pioneerthinking.com/epsomsalts.html. More uses of Epsom salts and recipes are found here. Again, just mayonnaise itself can be used as a facial moisturizer. Put mayonnaise on and let stand for 5 to 15 minutes before washing your face. If you have dry skin, mayonnaise can be used as a cleansing cream.

Takeaways
  • Great beauty treatments can be found in the kitchen cupboard.
  • Homemade beauty products made from olive oil and yogurt have been used since ancient times.
  • There are hundreds of beauty uses for many common household products.
