Milk in your hair and carrots on your face? Now you can too, with your very own beauty recipes.

Face Savers tips:

1. Cabbage (for oily skin). Wrap cabbage poultice in a hanky. Apply to your face. The slight astringent effect is good for blemished skin.

2. Strawberry dream (for oily or blemish prone skin). Crush strawberries in a bowl. Add water. Mix into a paste. Apply to your face, avoiding the eye area and concentrating on blemishes. Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse with cool water. This removes dirt and makeup; strawberry contains salicylic acid which removes dead skin cells.

3. Apple cleans (for oily and blemished skin). Peel an apple and throw away the skin. Make a poultice by wrapping grated or finely chopped apples in a hanky. Press to your face. This removes dead skin cells and leftover cosmetics. Splash off with cool water.

Homemade Scalp Treatments tips:

1. Olive oil protects the hair shaft while aspirin rids the scalp of dead skin cells. Before shampooing and after brushing, apply the mixed ingredients to your scalp, carefully coating the hair. Cover with a shower cap. Wrap a hot towel around your head. Leave on for 20 minutes. Shampoo.
