Today's Top 9 Edible Beauty Secrets
1. Egg Yolks
No one eats them anymore, but egg yolks work wonders on face and nails. Whip up a yolk and spread it on the face for a firming, refreshing mask. Soak fingertips in an egg yolk for 10-15 minutes to soften your cuticles and add shine to your nails.
2. Strawberries
Mash a handful of strawberries into a paste and apply to the face for 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water. You're so berry beautiful!
3. Cucumbers
Cucumber eye pads are nothing new and that's because they're simply the most wonderful and natural eye pads around. Chill and apply them to the eyelids to reduce swelling and dark circles. What hangover?!
4. Grapefruit
Had a long day at work? Squeeze a grapefruit or two and see what it’ll do for your tense, tired feet. Soak in a bucket of grapefruit juice and warm water for 30 minutes or more to get that hat relaxed, spa feeling without the expense.
5. Tea Bags
Raccoon eyes are no bueno. After preparing a bag of tea as usual, squeeze tea bags dry and place on the eyelids for an easy eye-brightener.
6. H20
Most of us don’t remember to drink 8 glasses of water a day but we should. Water hydrates, revitalizes, and oxygenates the entire body - which results to glowing, healthy skin.
7. Mayonnaise
Don't hold the mayo when it comes to your hair. Sure, the smell isn't pretty, but mayo can bring life to dry, brittle ends. Apply a thin layer mayo to hair, cover with plastic cap. Allow to penetrate for a few minutes, then rinse with cold water.
8. Coffee Beans
Cellulite is annoying, unattractive and something that we all wish would disappear. Grind coffee beans into fine powder and mix with everyday lotion for smoother looking skin.
9. Olive Oil
For very dry hands and feet: before bed, apply a thin layer of olive oil and cover with cotton gloves and socks. Uncover soft, moisturized skin the next morning.
