试试这些家庭常见食物的美容用途吧。你也可以把你自己的秘诀贴在下面跟大家分享。
Avocado
1.鳄梨
* Scott-Vincent Borba, the author of “Skintervention: The Personalized Solution for Healthier, Younger and Flawless Looking Skin,” suggests mashing an avocado with the oil from one vitamin E soft gel, a dash of cayenne pepper and a tablespoon of honey. Apply the anti-aging mask in a thick coat all over face and neck for 20 to 30 minutes. Rinse with damp washcloth.
“肌肤护理：打造健康、年轻、无暇肌肤的个性化解决方案”一书的作者Scott-Vincent Borba建议，将一个鳄梨捣碎，配上一枚维生素E胶丸中的油液、一点辣椒粉和一汤勺蜂蜜，可以自制抗衰老面膜。将它厚厚地涂在脸上和颈部20-30分钟后用湿毛巾洗掉。
* Gently rub the inside of an avocado peel on your face, says Morgan. Leave the residue on for about 20 minutes for a moisturizing mask.
摩根也说过，将鳄梨皮的内侧在脸上轻轻涂擦，让残留物保留大约20分钟，可以起到保湿面膜的作用。
Baking soda
2.小苏打
* Pour a quarter-cup of baking soda in a cold bath to relieve sunburn, Morgan says.

Brush mixture onto face and let dry for eight minutes, and then gently wash off with warm water. “Egg yolks are high in skin-nourishing vitamins A, D, and E as well as firming protein,” he says. “Baking soda will tighten and kill bacteria.”
Borba还说了一个用蛋液混上一汤勺小苏打做肌肤紧致面膜的办法，将混合物涂在脸上，等待8分钟使其干透，然后轻轻地用温水洗去。“蛋黄中对皮肤有滋养作用的维生素A、D、E和紧肤蛋白含量都很高，”他说，“而小苏打则帮助面膜绷紧并起到杀菌作用。”

Coffee

Brunettes can give their hair color a lift with coffee, says Sheri D. of Sé Mō Hair. Make a strong pot of black coffee, then let cool. Shampoo your hair, and then pour the warm coffee on. Work it through and leave in for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water, condition and style as usual.
Se Mo发型公司的Sheri D.说，黑发姑娘们可以用咖啡给你头发染色。煮一壶浓浓的黑咖啡，晾凉。用洗发水洗发，然后将温咖啡倒在头发上，让它均匀渗入头发并保留10到15分钟。用冷水洗净，和平常一样进行头发的护理和造型。

Eggs
5.鸡蛋
To remove hard-water deposits from hair and add shine, Sheri D. uses an egg-oil mix. Separate one egg, and pour an ounce of olive oil over the yolk. Mix.

Shampoo your hair again, condition, rinse and style as usual.
Sheri D提供的用鸡蛋和油的混合物去除头发上的硬水沉淀并使头发焕发光泽的方法。打一个鸡蛋，在蛋黄中倒入一盎司橄榄油，混匀。用洗发水洗发，然后将混合液倒入头发中，用宽齿梳子帮助分散开。保留5到19分钟。再次洗发，护理、漂洗和造型都和平时一样即可。

* To add oomph to light-colored hair, Sheri D. suggests making a strong pitcher of lemonade – water and lemon only, no sugar or honey. Shampoo your hair, and then pour the lemonade on. Work it through and leave in for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse with cool water, condition and style as usual.
想要为浅色头发增添活力，Sheri.D 建议做一壶较浓的柠檬水——只用水和柠檬，不加糖或者蜂蜜。用洗发水洗发，然后将柠檬水倒在头发上。充分渗入并保留10-15分钟，用冷水洗净，如常护理和造型即可。
Oatmeal
8.燕麦片
* Fill a mesh bag full of dry oatmeal, Morgan says. Rub your face with the bag for a gentle exfoliation.

* For Borba’s clarifying mask, stir together a cup of lukewarm water, a tablespoon of honey, a tablespoon of chocolate syrup and a cup of oatmeal. Apply the mix to face for 15 minutes. “Lightly scrub the mask off is circular motion to ‘buff’ away dead surface skin cells,” he says.

It’s a bit oily, so I wear comfy clothes I don’t worry about.”
女演员Vida Ghaffari说她经常用橄榄油作为护发素。“我需要经常做发型，这是唯一能在洛杉矶恶劣的天气中给我的头发提供护理的东西了，”她说，“我在洗头前几小时将橄榄油抹在头发上作为洗前护理。它有点油，所以我用的时候一般穿着我不心疼的舒服的衣服。”
* Mix a quarter-cup with a cup of vanilla sugar for a body scrub, says Megan Moriarty of Savor: The Food Agency.
