Forget hair masks, mayo is the go-to for freshening up hair. Mayonnaise is an easy, affordable alternative to hair moisturiser as it controls frizzy hair and fights dandruff, yet it’s also a secret weapon for locking in the colour in dyed hair. Add this to your hair when damp, starting at the top of the scalp and smoothing down to the ends of your hair. Rinse after 20 minutes for the best results.
A mushy avocado is a game changer when it comes to achieving flawless skin in seconds. Avocado is full of fibre and vitamins that will treat sensitive and dry skin in the colder months. If you want to help tighten and balance your skin tone, add apricots into your mask for additional vitamin A and vitamin C.
Green tea bags are a go-to for reducing undereye puffiness and dark circles. Soak the bags, let them cool, and place them under your eyes, letting the antioxidants soothe and revitalise the skin.
Coffee and cinnamon are the perfect combination for a face and body scrub, particularly if you are suffering from acne. This is because sugar can exfoliate dead skin cells, while the caffeine in the coffee keeps your skin looking vibrant by increasing blood flow. If you have sensitive skin, replace the cinnamon with brown sugar to avoid a red flush. Mix the combination of ingredients together and keep in a sealed container. Use this scrub sporadically as an exfoliator - once every week or so - and rinse off with hot water followed by cold water to ensure you close up those pores.
This one might break the budget, but if you have some bubbly left over in the coming weeks after a Christmas party, comb through a bit of champagne onto your damp hair and gently blend it in from top to bottom to revitalise blonde highlights. Champagne highlights the golden shine and glow in your hair. A can of beer will make your hair silky and soft.
