Beauty Secrets From The Kitchen
Recipes For Do-It-Yourself Spa Remedies
(CBS) Many people do not understand that the all-natural spa remedies are just that -- all natural. In fact, many of the ingredients for spa treatments consist of things you might find in your kitchen: flat beer, fresh lemon juice, or sugar.
You can combine a few of these ingredients and create hair tonic, hand scrub or a facial mask.
Shalini Vadhera, celebrity make-up artist and author of "Passport to Beauty," says with a few ingredients and 30 minutes you can transform yourself to a spa beautiful customer. And the best part? It will cost you next to nothing.

Mix in two tablespoons of flour to finish the paste. Apply to face, and allow to sit on skin for fifteen to twenty minutes. Then wash off with warm water and pat dry.
