Mix equal amounts of baking soda and water and rub onto damp skin for 1 minute, then rinse. The mildly abrasive powder gently whisks away dead, dulling skin cells, leaving the complexion with a gorgeous glow.
Three Kitchen-Scrap Beauty Fixes
Citrus peels and coffee grounds aren't the only kitchen waste you can repurpose for your beauty needs. The last bit of baking soda, oil, or milk? Don't toss it — use it on you.
Baking Soda Restores Radiance
Olive Oil Softens Rough Heels
Rub any bottom-of-the-bottle oil onto heels and wrap them with a warm, damp towel for 15 minutes, then rinse. The oil's fatty acids lock in moisture while its antioxidants repair rigid skin for baby-soft feet.
Milk De-Puffs Undereye Bags
Soak cotton pads with any last drops of milk and place on closed lids for 10 minutes, then rinse. Milk's anti-inflammatory lactic acid nixes swelling, and its coolness shrinks blood vessels to lighten dark circles.
