The world is facing the worst meltdown in the recent history and as usual we have all cut down the cost of beauty and care and the results are quite visible in the skin and the eyes. Spa, saloon is a sure no no. So what shall we do? Chill gals there are several items available in our pantry that can give the spa like treatments with no additional costs at all. So what are these lost miracles? Read on to find them out:

The creamy mayonnaise:

Yes you have read it correctly, the delicious mayonnaise, the breakfast delight is a deep moisturiser for the rough and coarse hair. Apply half a cup of this creamy mayonnaise on the hair and make sure to cover each strand. Leave it on for half an hour. Wash and style as usual. See the glow and the softness of the hair.

Vinegar:

Mix equal amount of vinegar and water and prepare a rinse. After washing and conditioning the hair  rinse the hair with this water and see the smoothness of the hair that can compete with any spa treatment.

Peach:

Black spots, dark circles around the eye? Take refuge in the tasty fruit called peach. Cut the fruit into slices and cover the eyes with it. Then cover it with a cool compress to facilitate the penetration of the nutrients. After 15-20 minutes you will be amazed to see the freshness of the eyes.

Milk:

The magnesium of milk is a sure way to control oily skin. Dab it on with cotton and then let it dry on the skin for 20 minutes. Then wash off and moisturise as usual.

Mint and Milk:

Want instant glow on the skin try the milk mint combo. Blend a few mint leaves with a cup of milk and wash the face with it. Feel the freshness.
