The next time you’re longing for the spa, head to your kitchen
instead. Chances are it’s stocked with the necessities you need to make
many problem-solving beauty and skin-care treatments, masks and scrubs.
All you need are a few minutes and a handful of everyday ingredients.
You may never look at your fridge the same way again!
The problem: Dry hair
The treatment: An avocado hair mask. Thanks to its high fat
and protein content, “avocado is very nourishing, just the thing for
taming frizz,” says makeup artist David Goveia, who's beautified the
likes of Kate Moss and Cameron Diaz.
What you need: Half of a ripe peeled avocado, one egg and two
tablespoons of wheat germ oil. (You can also substitute wheat germ oil
for olive or castor oil.)
Making it: In a small bowl, mash the avocado until it's smooth. Then add the egg and oil and blend well.
