Answer 2

One good mask recipe:
1/3 cup plain whole milk yogurt, 2 tbsp. honey & a bit of ground oatmeal. Apply a layer & leave it on for 10 mins. Rinse off w/ tepid water.

Yogurt - loosens dead skin cells
Honey - humectant w/ anti-bacterial properties
Oatmeal - optional; soothes & helps remove dry skin

Face mask recipe for oily skin are: crush up 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water, aloe or Queen Helene Mint Julep Mask and apply. Let dry for 15-20 minutes. Rinse w/ cool water & face cloth.

For combination/oily skin: apply thin layer of plain milk of magnesia. Let dry for 15 minutes or so. Rinse w/ tepid water & face cloth. This helps tighten pores & get rid of excess oil.

Shiny Soft Hair Treatment
In a small bowl, mash and combine: 1 avocado (1/2 for shorter hair)
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon olive oil

Apply to hair and allow to remain 30 minutes or longer, then shampoo and condition as usual. Amazingly silky, shiny, soft hair!

For your hair, adding a penny-sized amount of honey with your shampoo once or twicwe a week will make it shine.

For your face, the best thing to do is simply wash it thoughout the day.
