Dr. Oz Beauty Secrets Part 2

Mayonnaise, Egg and Vinegar Hair Mask
Method: Beat separately 5 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 2 eggs. Whisk them together and add in 1 capful of vinegar. Apply evenly through your hair. Leave in for 20-30 minutes for youthful, shiny hair.
Verdict: Beauty potential. All of the ingredients are hydrating. They will coat the cuticle of your hair, allowing your hair to reflect light and create shine. The problem is that this could leave a very significant reside. Try working in shampoo before you add water to wash it out; this will help to remove all of the product.

Shave Your Face
Method: Shave your face to exfoliate dead skin.
Verdict: It does not work! Shaving your face can cause dry patches, eczema flares, acne-like bumps and discoloration. Try a gentler way to exfoliate.

Expresso Mask for Tighter Skin
Method: Combine equal amounts of dry expresso and honey. Mix together and apply to your face for 10-15 minutes.
Verdict: True beauty! Honey hydrates the skin and caffeine can improve circulation and creates a taut, supple look.


Olive Oil as Shaving Cream
Method: Lather legs with olive oil, and then shave your legs as usual.
Verdict: True beauty! Olive oil is a very effective moisturizer and lubricant.

Olive Oil for Healthy Hair
Method: Massage olive oil into hair and cover with a shower cap. Leave for 10 minutes and then rinse clean.
Verdict: True beauty! Olive oil conditions your hair and adds shine. The monounsaturated fatty acids help to protect your hair and make it softer and more manageable.

Coffee Grinds Scrub for Cellulite
Method: Combine 1/2 cup coffee grinds with 1/4 cup brown sugar. Place olive oil over areas of cellulite and then rub the rub mix into skin in a circular motion. Scrub for 5 minutes to exfoliate.
Verdict: True beauty! Caffeine can enhance fat metabolism, especially right beneath the skin. It's easily absorbed when applied directly on the skin. It's also a diuretic, so it gets some of the fluid out of the fat beneath your skin so that cellulite is less visible. Olive oil is a moisturizer and an emollient, which softens the skin. The brown sugar works as an exfoliant. Although this is not permanent cellulite fix, it's an effective temporary solution.

Earwax for Pimples
Method: Use a Q-tip to get ear wax from your ear, apply directly to pimples.
Verdict: It does not work. Earwax can trap dirt and debris which can clog your pores. It's not sanitary. Also, you should never put a Q-tip in your ear; it's too small and can traumatize the ear canal. Anything smaller than your pinky finger should not go into your ear.

Aspirin and Lemon Juice for Flawless Skin
Method: Take 6-12 non-coated aspirin and crush them up into a powder. Combine with fresh, real lemon juice. Let it dissolve into more of a paste for about 5-10 minutes. Lightly apply to a breakout or blemish. Remove with a cotton ball dipped in a solution of baking soda and water.
Verdict: True beauty! Aspirin contains salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid which acts as a chemical peel to reduce acne and lesions. Lemon juice contains vitamin C, with acts as an antioxidant to nourish your skin if you've had some sun exposure. It also acts as an exfoliant because it's acidic, and baking soda neutralizes that acid.

 Pina Colada Bath for Extra Soft Skin
Method: Add 1 can pineapple rings, 1 can coconut milk, 2 cups powdered milk and 1/2  cup soy milk to a bath of warm water.
Verdict: True Beauty! Pineapple contains bromelain, a natural anti-inflammatory to calm your skin. The soy milk has vitamin E, which prevents free-radical damage to the skin caused by the sun. Finally, the coconut is a natural antioxidant, which also reduces free-radical damage.
Beauty Bonus: Make yourself a healthy smoothie from extra ingredients. Combine the juice that remains from the pineapple rings, along with 4 tbsp of coconut milk and 1/2 cup of soy milk. Blend with ice and bring it with you into the bath to sip on!

Hair Thickening Beer Shampoo
Method: Boil 12 oz. of beer until it reduces to about 1/2 cup. Cool the beer and add to 1 (15 oz.) bottle of baby shampoo. Lather through hair thoroughly and rise.
Verdict: It does not work. Although, initially, beer may make your hair plumper, for long-term use it's not beneficial. Beer contains ethanol, which actually inhibits biotin, the basic B vitamin that serves as hair's building block.

Mango, Sweet Potato and Honey Anti-Aging Face Mask
Method: Combine the ingredients (recipe here) together and apply to your face. Rinse thoroughly.
Verdict: True beauty! The mango and honey combat free radical damage caused by the sun to help fight off wrinkles. Sweet potato is one of the best sources of natural anti-inflammatory products.
