1
Epsom salt. An excellent base for a coarse body exfoliating scrub, Epsom salt can tighten and purify skin when dissolved in a warm, relaxing bath.
2
Cocoa. Organic, fair-trade cocoa makes a nerve-soothing drink and a color-reviving mask for dark hair. Add a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of olive oil for a truly nourishing salon hair pack at home.
3
Lemons. Rub them to correct self-tanning mistakes; squeeze them into your palms to make a super-quick rinse for light hair.
4
Witch hazel. A gorgeous multitasker available from any grocery store will refresh your senses in a traffic jam, will sanitize your hands after any contact with germs, zap zits when applied directly onto skin, and will combat body odors.
5
Extra virgin organic olive oil. This is an ultimate green skin treatment. Use it as massage oil, with an added drop or two of your favourite essential oil.
6
Brown sugar. Brown fine sugar makes a cheap, effective, and non-irritating body exfoliating base. With sugar, you can rub the scrub into your skin really hard without fear of damaging the outer skin layer.
7
Vegetable glycerin. This is a commonly available humectant that locks up moisture in your skin by attracting water molecules from the outside environment.
8
Green tea extract. If you choose just one skin cancer preventative, make it green tea extract. Catechins from green tea are proven to ward off free radicals that cause DNA mutations in skin cells and they work well when applied topically and taken internally.
9
Yeast. Simply mix some with water to make a paste and apply to your face for a lifting, nourishing, purifying dose of all-natural vitamin B6.
10
Castile soap. Saponified olive oil makes a versatile face, body, and hair cleanser.
