DarkDesire23 answered Saturday May 13 2006, 11:13 pm: Dry/Damaged Hair Remedies- Don't hold the mayo. "Mayonnaise makes an excellent conditioner," a regular mayo bath--once a week or so. Put a dollop in the palm of your hand, then work it into your hair for at least five minutes before washing it out. (The preferred time for a full-blown mayo treatment is an hour)
If mayo is a little too messy for your taste, you can still get help from the flip-top section of your refrigerator. "Beer is a wonderful setting lotion that gives a crisp, healthy, shiny look--even to dry hair," Pour some of the brew into an empty pump-bottle. Then spray it onto your hair after you've shampooed and towel-dried but before you blow-dry or style. And don't worry about smelling like a lush-the odor of the beer quickly disperses.
If you must shampoo daily, use a brand that's labeled "for dry or damaged hair," Among the shampoos recommended are DHS, Neutrogena, Pert Plus, Ionil and Purpose.
2.Greasy Skin-1) Make a puree of fresh tomatoes, apply to the skin 2) Beat together 1 egg white, 1 tsp spirits of camphor, 1 heaping Tbsp skim milk powder and a scant drop of essential oil of mint. First apply a thin film of odorless castor oil to the skin , then apply a thick layer of the egg white mask. Lie back for about 15 minutes. Wash off with warm water, then rinse with an apple cider vinegar and water solution or witch hazel.
3.Sorry...you mean age spots?or...?sorry,i dont understand.
4.Basically the same thing as #2.Greasy skin ties along with the whole visible pore thing.

AskAndy answered Saturday May 13 2006, 7:02 pm: I know some things that might help but they arent scrubs but you can get them at home!
1 banana and 2 tablespoons *more or less depending on the size of the banana, mashed up and spread on the face will take away oil. Baby powder rubbed on the rest of the body will suck up oil. Flour will too if you dont have powder. Harsh soap will de-grease skin. Mix 3 drops *or a couple grains if its dry detergent* of detergent to your soap if you dont use harsh body soap.If you wash with harsh soap it tightens pores too. Sugar and oil mixed together makes a great scrub for feet. Rub lotion on feet and wear socks to sleep. Rosemary or peppermint oil increases circulation anywhere. For good nails, rub oil on cuticles, use hand lotion, hen wear gloves to sleep. Cut them regularly. for dry heat damaged hair, use conditioner then blast your hair with a dryer, or air dry your hair. Air dry hair after washing in the summer to prevent more damage. Use gel and style your hair. Wash hair with conditioner at night, then the next morning wash normally. Put sunscreen on your hair before using heat. Adding bronzer to sunscreen and appling to skin will prevent sunspots [ AskAndy's advice column | Ask AskAndy A Question ]
