While you can
go to
Sephora or
Saks Fifth Avenue and buy the finest products all the
way from
La Mer (the ultimate) to
Lancome (excellent, but affordable), there are
simple personal care products that you can make
yourself. They have worked for me for and let me
share the recipes with you.
Baking soda rinse. To
eliminate product residues in your hair and get a shine,
mix 4 tablespoons of sodium bicarbonate (or commonly known
as baking soda) with water and do the last rinse with this
water. Try to get this water all over your hair and wash
it out completely.

 Natural skin toner. Make thyme tea and use
it as a toner for all skin types. Apply it with a cotton
ball on your face.
Hair conditioner to add shine. Mix an egg
white, one tablespoon of honey and the juice of one lemon
or lime. Apply all over the hair and leave it on for 20
minutes. Wash the hair with cool water. For best results
do at least twice a month.
Hair toner.
To add shine to your hair, you can put
chamomile and
rosemary tea in your last rinse once a week.
Chocolate is not just for eating.
To eliminate rough areas (the ones that refuse to
go away even with a
pedicure) on your feet, mix 5 tablespoons of
chocolate in powder mix with water to obtain a
thick paste. Apply on clean and dry feet and leave
it on for 20 to 30 minutes. Wash away.
Nail care. To eliminate the
yellow stains form your nails, soak them in water
with lemon for 5 minutes and then soak them in a
little bit of milk for 5 additional minutes.
Works great when you can't go to the
nail salon.
