pam Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Now before you think this is all about eating...it's not. I was searching lds.org this morning for an answer to a question one of our members was asking and I found this article.It's about natural ingredients we can use to help with our "beauty."Things many of us have in our pantry right this minute.LDS.org - New Era Article - Feeding Your Face the Natural WayWhat are some "natural" things you do or use?

siouxz72 Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 What a great article! :) I see a couple of things I want to try. One that my girls and I use quite often is mixing olive oil and granulated sugar as a "scrub" for our feet and hands..It feels wonderful when being massaged on and leaves skin super duper soft!

Pintail Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I'm not quite sure if this pertains to beauty but it pertains to health I guess. Whenever I'm clogged up, instead of taking a laxative or a chemically produced pill, I make nacho cheese with velveeta and put cubes of spam in it. After eating that I have no problems going #2.

pam Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 So you just rub mayo through your hair and then wash it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moksha Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 So you just rub mayo through your hair and then wash it out? Or leave it in, add some croutons and you will have a salad.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefche Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 I wanted to talk about eating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Then start your own thread. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefche Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I just discovered white vinegar. I use it on my hair to get rid of gunk like product build up and hard water deposits (if I get hard water deposits on my shower wall, I'm sure I have some in my hair).

Churchmouse Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Come on. Don't you people realize beauty is only skin deep. On the other hand, of course, ugly goes clear to the bone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gwen Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 i found the egg white thing for tightening and toning skin interesting. lol i was talking to a lady that her kid split their lip open, she was afraid it would need stitches and a friend told her to put egg whites on it and it drew it up and made it close. so i guess that's the same principle?

Wingnut Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I use white vinegar to clean the inside of my fish tank when I empty it out completely (which is like 2-3 times a year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADoyle90815 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 I also use diluted white vinegar as a hair rinse, combined with lavender essential oil to reduce the smell. Hard water isn't too much of a problem, but the white vinegar does remove product build-up. As I'm not LDS, I've been using white vinegar to clean the coffee machine once a month.
