Alicia commented on Jan 03 12 at 5:00 pmOlive oil for deep conditioning your hair. Just apply, starting at the ends, until it’s all of the way through your hair, then let sit for about 30 minutes. Wash with shampoo, then condition as normal, and your hair is really soft for several days.
Louise commented on Jan 07 12 at 11:16 amQueen Helene Mint Julep Masque is the original natural home treatment, developed by a dermatologist that will actually dry up acne pimples, rinse away blackheads and even help shrink enlarged pores. Simply apply Mint Julep Masque to your face and neck. Within minutes it firms and hardens, as its suction action draws out waste matter from pores. Minutes later, rinse the masque away with warm water and a washcloth. After the masque is removed your skin will feel clean, refreshed, and smooth. Even for people who are fortunately free of skin problems, Mint Julep Masque is a refreshing facial treatment that relaxes tired muscles and eases tension lines on the face and neck. Its the best stuff for acne….
