Still's comment can be taken a couple of ways; with my weird sense of humor, I chose the 'other' way.

My Mom used an egg white on our hair. Fantastic dandruff remover and no chemicals either.

Hey my dear thanks for the recipes and I also heard that a fresh cut pineapple rubbed on your face once a week is a good exfolient as well.

I have question my dear...will these make me look 21 again...lol.

Hugs
Mom

Here is a copy/paste:

Pineapple and papaya, cut into tiny pieces
A tablespoon each of pineapple and papaya juice (squeeze out the juice)
A tablespoon of old-fashioned oatmeal
A tablespoon of honey (look for one with no additives)
Lukewarm water
Steps: Collect the ingredients together.
Crush the pineapple and papaya and squeeze the juice of each fruit into a bowl.
Add the oatmeal and a tablespoon of natural honey.
Mix well.
Wet your face with lukewarm water, (the water acts to prepare and dry your skin)
Gently massage the exfoliant into your skin using circular motions, being careful not to get any into your eyes.
Leave exfoliant scrub on for about 5 minutes.
Moisten a face cloth with warm water.
Gently remove the exfoliant being careful not to get any in your eyes.
Once removed, dry your face with a clean towel by patting your face to remove excess water. And there you have it - super radiant skin- the natural way!
Use a moisturiser to help seal the nutrients, apply sparsely to prevent clogging of the pores.

Tips...By using natural fruit and ingredients, the scrub with give your skin a more revitalised look and smell very yummy!
Try adding coconut flakes instead or as well as the oatmeal to give your body a sweet smelling sensation
For a body scrub mix up an extra large batch, and add sugar and some strong tea (black no sugar) which has cooled down, this helps put natural antioxidants back into your skin.
For a high antioxidant facial, try natural honey all over your face.

Warnings...Before using, apply a small amount to your face where it wont be as noticed (under your chin or on your forehead) to see if you will have a reaction. Remove as above and wait 12 to 24 hours before applying onto your face.
Keep out of your eyes as pineapple juice stings and may burn.

I know of thirty varieties of bananas,
which kinds are the best to use?
.
After this is on your face do
we get to lick it off?
Some sound Delicious!
.
How does it help you beauty?
Does it go into your face through
osmosis and then what if it reacts
the wrong way?

Snoopy says he gets first licks!


Bye for now! Thank you!
