Natures Cosmetic Bounty   by Allison Saunders of HollywoodMakeupSecrets.com

Not all skin treatments require a trip to the local health and beauty outlet, department store or pricey salon. Look right in your fridge or pantry and you'll find quite a few items which you can use to beautify your pretty self. Consider your kitchen your own natural day spa.

Do you have Oatmeal?

Then you have a great calming mask. Just mix it with warm water and slather it on. When it tightens up, rinse face with warm water and be amazed with the results.

Do you have Honey?

Then you have a softening mask. Add the honey to your oatmeal mask for extra softness.

Do you have Milk?

Then you have Moisturizer. Remember the phrase "milk and honey"? Mixed together they're a vitamin-packed lotion.

Do you have Cucumbers?

Then you have Swelling reducer. All those B-movies from the '60s had it right. Slice them up, place them on your eyes and say goodbye to puffiness.

Do you have Mayonnaise?

Then you have Hair Conditioner. It really is a great skin moisturizer and hair conditioner.

Do you have Potatoes?

Then you have Blemish Treatment. Rumor has it that grated or food processed raw potatoes can be used on blemishes as a curative. The enzymes are said to boost skin's healing powers.

Do you have Strawberries?

Then you have Tooth Whitener. Smoosh them, swirl them across your teeth and smile.

Do you have Garlic?

Then you have Acne Reducer. Well, you may not smell great after this home remedy, but it's worth a try. Garlic juice applied topically is a centuries old treatment for acne.

Talk about natural beauty!!!

Hey, you don't have to trek to the mall or even out your front door. It's stuff you have already. So give them a try.

See if these all natural treatments work for you.
