Marisa Sung’s Homemade Beauty Remedies for Ladies on a Budget

Hair
1 cap full of apple cider vinegar added to any shampoo for natural shine.
1 cup of shea butter for hair; massage into the hair and wear a plastic cup for 40 minutes
1 cup of mashed avocado with 2 tsp. of olive oil; mix together in a bowl and apply to hair and/or face for 35 minutes before rinsing off

Teeth Whitening
Mash 4 strawberries with 1 tsp. of baking soda. Apply to the teeth with a toothbrush and rinse off after 5 mins.

Nails
To make the whites of your nails look much whiter; buy denture cleansing capsules. Follow directions and dissolve the caplet in water. Soak nails in the solution for 10 mins.

Face
Use the Avocado mask for hair on face as well
Mix one cup of Greek yogurt with 2 tsp. of raw honey and 2 tsp. of olive oil, then apply to face and neck with a wooden stick and leave on for 35 minutes before rinsing off with warm water.
ROC is a great product because it contains the most retinol. I use ROC anti-aging moisturizer and night cream.

Eyes
To tighten the area around the eyes, use Hemorrhoid cream! It works so much better than Clinique’s Bestselling “All About Eyes Serum” at nearly $30.00 for a little roll-on.

Body
Mix Epsom Salt with olive oil and scrub on your body to exfoliate
Buy oils like grape oil at the Health Food Store and apply to your skin right after you step out of the shower! You do not need Bio Oil or any other bullshit products out there.

I cannot believe how much money I used to throw away on expensive bullshit beauty products! After going through the toughest time in my life during our past recession, I was forced to cut back and as a result created my own products and guess what?? They actually work much better!

Either the Health Food Store or your own Kitchen has so many wonderful and effective products for a much lower price than major cosmeceutical companies!
