\"Kitchen<\/a><\/p>\n

Next time you run out of your favorite beauty product, see if you can find a replacement in your kitchen cupboards. It\u2019s true\u2014some of the most effective and revered beauty remedies are hiding out in the same place you make dinner. These remedies are long-standing because they\u2019re healthy, they\u2019re natural, and (most importantly!) they truly work. Want to give your beauty routine a kitchen makeover? Check out your six essentials:<\/p>\n

OLIVE OIL
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

Your favorite (and most healthy) cooking companion happens to be an all-star on the beauty front thanks to a high concentration of antioxidants, vitamins, nourishing monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids.<\/p>\n

As a makeup remover: <\/b>Many makeup removers are full of pore-clogging oils or\u2014even worse\u2014drying alcohol. Skip the chemicals and use a few dabs of olive oil on a cotton ball to gently remove stubborn eye makeup. Its expert emollient skills break down mascara and eyeliner while nourishing your delicate eye area after each swipe.
\nAs a hair treatment: <\/b>If your hair is feeling the drying effects of winter\u2019s cold air, apply some olive oil to dry hair and wrap in a warm towel. Relax for 15 minutes, then rinse and shampoo for stronger, softer hair.<\/p>\n

COCONUT OIL
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s natural, it\u2019s antibacterial, and it smells like the beach\u2014all reasons enough to deem coconut oil the year\u2019s beauty superfood.<\/p>\n

As shaving cream: <\/b>Dreaming of a shave that\u2019s good for your skin? Many of the most well-known shaving creams contain alcohol, which can dry out\u00a0your skin and cause that signature post-shave burning. Go the natural route and use coconut oil. The naturally antibacterial emollient will leave your legs hydrated and smooth without a greasy aftermath.<\/p>\n

\"6<\/p>\n

HONEY
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

This sweetener really is the bee\u2019s knees when it comes to beauty. Numerous studies have found honey to hold anti-inflammatory and wound-healing properties, making this the perfect base for any detoxing or revitalizing DIY face mask.<\/p>\n

As a sunburn remedy: <\/b>Apply the sticky stuff to overheated skin as soon as you realize you overdid it on the sun exposure. You\u2019ll feel a reduction in pain, reduced redness, and notice quicker healing time.<\/p>\n

PLAIN YOGURT
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

Your favorite smoothie starter is just as good for you skin as it is for your gut.<\/p>\n

As a calming mask: <\/b>Mix two parts full-fat plain or Greek yogurt with one part honey, smear on your face and neck, and sit back for 10-15 minutes. While you sit, the lactic acid is sloughing off dead skin cells while the probiotics reduce redness and inflammation. After you rinse with warm water, you\u2019ll reveal brighter, calmer, and more moisturized skin.<\/p>\n

SUGAR
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

Scrubs are a great way to get rid of dead skin cells that can clog pores and leave your complexion looking dull. However, there are two problems with many commercial exfoliators: they are full of chemicals, and they use beads or nut husks that are far too rough for sensitive skin or delicate areas. Brown sugar is the perfect consistency for a gentle, yet effective scrub.<\/p>\n

As a full body scrub: <\/b>\u00a0Combine two parts milk to one part brown sugar (it should be a bit soupy!) and add a few drops of honey. Toward the end of your shower, turn the water off and\u2014starting at your feet\u2014gently scrub away the day! Rinse with warm water until you reveal seriously smooth skin.<\/p>\n

BAKING SODA
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s one of the best home remedies around\u2014and now you can add it to your beauty arsenal.<\/p>\n

As a whitening agent: <\/b>There\u2019s a reason your grandmother used it on all her pots and pans\u2014it\u2019s great at removing stains! The same goes for your nails and your teeth. Try dipping a small wet brush into some baking soda and scrubbing yellowed nails. Do the same with a damp toothbrush and brush, rinse, and follow with toothpaste for a noticeably whiter smile.
\nAs an acne spot treatment: <\/b>This is perfect for anyone who finds acne medication too harsh, or if you\u2019re in a pinch. Make a quick paste out of baking soda and water and apply to the offending spot overnight.<\/p>\n
