HACKS<br />

Make this easy seven-step<br />

homemade zesty body scrub<br />

to give your skin a boost:<br />

1. Get rid of the sugar in the cupboards<br />

– Mix one cup with half a cup of virgin<br />

coconut oil – in its solid state.<br />

2. Add some orange zest for a citrus<br />

zing... pop it in the fridge for ten<br />

minutes.<br />

3. Remove the mixture from the fridge<br />

just before you take a warm shower –<br />

Wash as normal.<br />

4. Gently rub your homemade zesty sugar<br />

scrub into areas prone to dry or rough<br />

skin... commonly the bottom, hips,<br />

upper arms and upper thighs.<br />

5. Rinse off thoroughly with warm water.<br />

6. Close your pores; increase circulation, and<br />

firm skin with a blast of ice-cold water.<br />

7. Pat your skin dry.<br />

(Remember to store the remaining scrub<br />

in the fridge for use every other day).<br />

1. Use up<br />

to three<br />

raw eggs<br />

(depending<br />

on your hair<br />

length) – and crack them in a bowl.<br />

(Ensure they are room temperature.)<br />

2. Whisk, or stir together, and add olive oil<br />

(so if you are using two eggs then two<br />

spoons full will be enough) – you can<br />

use coconut oil as well as or instead of<br />

olive oil – and then mix it all together.<br />

3. It is advised to stand in the shower or<br />

sit in the bath and apply to dry hair –<br />

as it can be a little messy!<br />

4. Leave the mixture on for ten to twenty<br />

minutes – maybe with a shower cap to<br />

keep the dripping to a minimum.<br />

5. Rinse with cool water.<br />

6. Then shampoo as usual.<br />

7. Pat hair with a towel and<br />

allow to dry naturally.<br />

There are some<br />

fantastic products<br />

available on the<br />

market, but not<br />

every beauty<br />

answer requires<br />

spending out...<br />

Don’t leave your hair out –<br />

try this seven-step mask<br />

And for<br />

to give a natural shine:<br />

added hair-care<br />

use this avocado<br />

conditioner:<br />

1. Mash a soft avocado up in a bowl.<br />

2. Add a splash of either coconut oil or<br />

olive oil, and mix again.<br />

3. Smear the simple mixture onto your<br />

hair, making sure you get a full<br />

coverage. (You can put a shower cap<br />

on to keep it from dripping – but it<br />

isn’t that messy!)<br />

4. Set your alarm for thirty minutes and<br />

enjoy an episode of your favourite series<br />

or read a few chapters of a book.<br />

5. Once the<br />

time is up, rinse<br />

with warm<br />

water.<br />

6. Pat hair with<br />

a towel and<br />

allow to dry<br />

naturally.<br />

Your hair<br />

will feel<br />

silky and<br />

nourished.<br />
