Here are Part 1 and Part 2 of  Dr. Oz Beauty Secrets, if you haven't already read them.

Home Remedy for Dry, Cracked Hands and Feet
Method: In a large glass jar, add 2 cups of olive oil, 1 cup sea salt, 5 drops of lavender essential oil and 5 drops of lemon essential oil. Stir well. Scoop out 1/4 cup and massage well into affected area. Rinse well with cool water; pat dry.  
Verdict: It works! The olive oil and lemon oil supplement the natural oil your skin produces to seal in moisture. Sea salt has a high magnesium content that helps to fight inflammation. Finally, lavender oil helps to moisturize and has anti-inflammatory properties because it contains eucalyptus, which can work to prevent eczema.

Kitty Litter Cleansing Mask
Method: Fill a cup with clay-based kitty litter and add water so it's an inch or 2 above the kitty litter. Put in microwave for about a minute. Remove from microwave and put on your face for 10 minutes.
Verdict: The jury is still out. Cat litters contain bentonite clay, which works to draw out toxins. The absorptive quality of the kitty litter sucks out a lot of the oils from the pores that could be causing acne. However, it is not made for your skin and the effects have not been tested. If you do decide to try this remedy, make sure you use an unscented brand to prevent allergies and keep it away from your eyes and lips.

Chapped Lips Home Remedy
Method: Mix a tablespoon of fine sugar, a tablespoon of baking soda and a tablespoon of water together. Dip a tooth brush into the mix and brush your lips. Rinse off with water for a smooth and exfoliated lip!
Verdict: It works! The sugar is abrasive and helps to remove dead skin that accumulates from chapping, while the baking soda helps the mixture to lather. To make this a perfect treatment, you need to bring moisture back to the lips. Try adding some olive oil to the mixture!

 
Egg Whites (Egg White Facial Guide) for an Instant Facelift
Method: Mix egg whites together in a small bowl; apply to your face. Let dry and wash off.
Verdict: It works! Egg whites contain proline, an amino acid that serves as a building block for collagen. Egg whites contain more proline than most foods we eat, making this facelift a winner.

Yogurt Facial Cleanser (recipe and guide) for Flawless Skin            
Method: Combine plain natural yogurt with some sunflower oil and a little lemon juice. Blend well; apply to face with a clean towel. Rub it into the skin; gently wash off and pat dry.
Verdict: It works! Yogurt has lactic acid, a type of alpha hydroxy acid that functions as an effective skin exfoliant. Sunflower oil helps seal in your skin's moisture. Additionally, lemon juice is a natural whitener, and it inhibits melanin production, which causes age spots.

Homemade Glue Mixture for Preventing Wrinkles
Method: Put a bit of white school glue in your hand and rub it all over your face. Let dry and peel off. Rinse your face with warm water. Next, apply honey all over your face. Leave on for about 5 minutes; rinse with warm water. Lastly, mix some apple cider vinegar with water. Apply with a spray bottle or cotton ball.
Verdict: It does not work. Honey is a humectant and will pull moisture to the face. Apple cider vinegar does work as a natural exfoliant. However, the glue is not a wise addition. While it does remove old skin cells, it can go deeper, causing uncontrolled removal of the skin. Additionally, glues contain many allergens, including latex. The potential side effects outweigh the benefits of this mixture.
