They are delicious and nutritious, but they also have other uses. Here are some ingredients that, in addition to being great in the kitchen, can help you with your beauty routine:
Honey
Honey is a delicious natural sweetener, but that's not all. It turns out this exquisite golden liquid is an excellent antibiotic, which is why it is recommended for treating throat or skin infections. If you have pimples, put a little honey on them to dry them out.
Egg
Egg whites are the main ingredient for some of the most famous desserts, like meringues. However, when applied to the skin, they have a botox-like effect, smoothing it out and reducing wrinkles.
Avocado
Besides having a delicious taste, avocado is a very versatile ingredient, as it works as a
substitute for some fats to make recipes healthier. But it can also help improve the appearance of your skin and hair. If you suffer from dry skin, apply an avocado mask once a week.
Olive oil
Not only is it one of the healthiest fats in cooking, but olive oil is also an excellent ingredient for personal care. Combine a few tablespoons of olive oil with brown sugar to gently exfoliate your skin.
Yogurt
The favorite of quick breakfasts is also a spectacular remedy for burns on the skin. If you've been exposed to the sun for too long, apply a little natural yogurt to the affected area and let it sit for 15 minutes. The yogurt will relieve the burning sensation and help your skin recover faster.
Baking soda
Many baking recipes include a teaspoon of baking soda because when combined with yogurt, lemon, or vinegar, it has the same effect as yeast. However, baking soda also helps control stomach acidity. Take half a teaspoon diluted in a glass of water if you have digestion issues.
Lemon
Save a little lemon juice when you're making lemonade. Citric acid is excellent for treating skin spots and open pores. Mix a bit of ground oatmeal with lemon juice and apply it to your face. This mask is perfect for acne-prone skin.
Cucumber
It tastes delicious in salads, but it also cares for your skin. Cucumber provides a lot of vitamin E, in addition to hydrating it and making it look more revitalized. Combine half a mashed cucumber with clay to make a detox mask. Apply it and let it sit for 25 minutes to release your skin from dead cells.
