Kitchen beauty fixes

I don’t know what it is about summer but it seems to bring out the homemade remedy in us in attempts to make our hair and skin glow in the sunlight. Do you remember when girls would lighten their hair by spraying lemon on it? And then there’s putting cold teabags on our eyes to freshen us up. Most of these home remedies have dubious results and many of them are harmless. But some of them can actually hurt you. For example, oatmeal is great for the skin but you need to be careful when using it as an defoliant that it isn’t so abrasive that it scratches the skin. And be careful that lemon juice doesn’t strip essential oils from your hair. One of the best ways to achieve that sun kissed look is with a self tanning cream (Guinot uses caramel in their product and it has an immediate effect). Just don't go overboard and end up with that orange look. Don’t be afraid to discuss your kitchen beauty experiments with your skin care specialist to find out the safest way to feed your skin.
