Eggs make a good mask, as well as adding shine to hair (just washing hair with a raw egg... It sounds really weird, but I know a girl who used to do it. Although I suppose that is the same concept as using mayonnaise on one's locks.) Supposedly eating Jello will strengthen your nails, but I'm not entirely sure if this is true... Cucumbers reduce swelling on eyes, oatmeal and sugar can be used in lotions and scrubs to exfoliate, (oatmeal adds nutrients to skin, as well). Essential oils such as lavender, chamomile, patchouli, along with hundreds of others each contain their own healing and rejuvination properties, and milk and honey baths have been used for thousands of years to smooth skin (even the Egyptians used them!) Epsom salt or sea salts dissolved in a warm bath are good for relaxing aching or tired muscles.
With so many more household items, there are just as many tricks and home remedies.

Epsom salt: bath salts
Apple cider: add to bath water to soften it
Sensitive Skin Gentle Exfoliant
By Beverly Smith
For a gentle sensitive skin exfoliator, mix 1/2 cup cornmeal, 1/4 cup milk, two teaspoons baking soda, one tablespoon olive oil and five drops of tea-tree oil in a bowl, then apply to your skin.
Wrinkle Removal Recipe
Banana is wonderful as an anti-wrinkle treatment.
Mash 1/4 banana until very creamy. Spread all over face and leave for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water followed by a dash of cold.
Gently pat dry.
Castor Oil
Applying pure castor oil to your eyebrows and lashes, particularly those who have scanty growth, will make them grow thick and long. For tired or puffed eyes, place a cotton pad soaked in chilled rose water. Keeping thin slices of cucumber ready in the refrigerator beforehand is ideal.
