MAYONNAISE
Good For More Than Just a Sandwhich!
I have actually tried all of these, and must say #1 and #2 worked best for me! Remember to use the Real Mayonnaise, not Miracle Whip.1. Remove Dead Skin - Slather Mayo on rough areas such as feet and elbows to remove dead, dry skin. Rinse off using warm water.
2. Make hair Shine - Apply Mayo just as you would a hair mask, wrap hair in plastic wrap or bag, cover with warm towel and leave on for 10 - 15 minutes. Rinse and wash well.
3. Deep Clean Face - Apply a thick layer of Mayo just like a face mask, leave on for 20 minutes then wipe off and rinse well with cool water. The whole egg in Mayo will leave skin feeling clean, fresh and soft.
4. Strengthen Finger Nails - By soaking finger nails in a bowl of Mayo for 5 minutes every so often will make them stronger.
OLIVE OIL
A Must Have Item
Get a close shave - Massage Olive Oil onto skin for a close shave, be careful as it can be slippery.1. Moisturize Cuticles - Massage Oil into cuticles or mix together water and Olive Oil and soak hands before a manicure.
2. Tame Frizz - A small amount of Olive Oil combed into frizzy hair can help smooth and tame fly aways and add shine. Careful not to over do it as you will end up with oily locks.
3. Hand & Foot Scrub - Massage Oil into hands along with sugar or coarse salt to exfoliate and soften skin. Rinse well with warm water and follow with lotion.
4. Moisturize Dry Skin - apply Oil to dry areas such as heels and elbows after a shower or bath.
5. Bath Oil - Add 2 -3 tablespoons to running bath water for smooth and soft skin.
