KITCHEN BEAUTY REMEDIES
What we do for beauty. Since the beginning of time, women have made great efforts to hydrate, exfoliate, condition and rejuvenate their skin and hair in an effort to look their best. In ancient times, natural remedies were sometimes little advisable, such that soak hair in urine from camels to make it soft and shiny, or rubbing crushed bugs on the lips to make them wet and pleasantly red. Cleopatra, it is said, used a paste of dung crocodile and donkey's milk to keep her lovely skin.
If natural beauty that precedes the use of leave will leave you just a very little bit woozy, don't worry. There are many others to try are not quite as boring, won't cost you triple figures of high spa treatment range or visit online at Sephora - and are very effective. And you need to go no further than your kitchen to find the ingredients.
The advantage of using kitchen ingredients? It is simple, said Alexandra Catalano, certified coach health and founder of eat cute, a company that focuses on holistic nutrition and wellness. "What happens to give you all the minerals, vitamins and enzymes of a cucumber? A real cucumber, "explains. "These foods were served in thousands of years to heal and nourish our body."
Return to what is natural and organic is not only one of the best ways to give your body what needs it, said Alexandra, but "When you do these remedies at home, you know exactly what you put into it."
This is particularly important when you realize that the long list of ingredients on the back of your favorite eye lab-concocted cream cucumber often includes chemicals that research proves to be carcinogenic, toxic to the reproductive system and disruptive hormones - not to mention some that are harmful to wildlife and flora.
Although there are dozens of wonderful Cabinet cosmetics, here are five that deserve to be supply:

LEMON
