Re: Homemade beauty tips

I use bicarb of soda on my face as an exfoliant as well, mixed into a paste with water-I find salt grains a bit too harsh..

Avocado is great mashed up as a face mask , especially if you have dry skin.
If your skin isn't so dry, oatmeal mixed with agave nectar and blended works good as well. Honey is more commonly recommended but I don't buy honey so I use agave nectar, similar properties for skin.

Tea tree oil cures almost anything I find. My partner had verrucas on his feet from the gym and it got rid of those, they've never recurred..I've used it on ingrowing hairs and bumps caused by shaving as well.
(Come to think of it though, I'd rather he went back to the gym and had verrucas, than gave it up altogether like he appears to have done... )
