Hey there gals and gents, today I realized I was in need of a deep conditioner for my waist-length hair and something to lighten and cleanse my skin. I browsed through some things at Sally's and also the organic section of Target, but didn't find anything (reasonably priced) that appealed to me. So I did a search for some at-home recipes to suit my needs.

As we speak, I've got the following on my HAIR:
one ripe avocado +
half a jar of real mayo
(mashed together until smooth)

on my FACE, neck, and arms:
lemon juice
plain yogurt
baking soda
(mixed together into a semi- thick paste, and it will fizzle up so be careful!)

I will definitely post the results of everything lady, but so far I can say that for the skin treatment it seems to have almost instantly faded my freckles & taken some of the redness out (though I'm already fair skinned). I also feel it tightening my skin! LOL.

Lastly, it (the skin mix) smells AMAZING... like a lemon cake batter! I'm not a fan of lemon flavored anything, but that cake-batter smell is making me hungry lol.

So.... share your all natural beauty treatments, whether it's from fruits, veggies, herbs, etc.
