Friday, July 6, 1973 THE NEW BERN MIRROR, NEW BERN, N. C. Page Seven Exotic Beauty Aids Often Use Same Food Items Already in Your Home You don't have to look at^ firther than your refrigerator or pantry for the “working” ingredients of some of today’s more exotic beauty preparations. If you don’t believe it, look on the labels of the cosmetics you’re using. Likely to be listed among the ingr^ents, are papaya, lemon, almond, apricot, avocado or any number of other natural foods. It’s possible to create some of your own home beauty aids using these materials, says Harriet R. Tutterow, extension clothing specialist. North Carolina State University. Some of these preparations are very easy to make. keeping fresh lemon, lime, grapefruit or orange peels in a covered Jar by the sink. Use them for a quick treatment on your hands after they’ve been in water. Or throw one or two of die peels into your bath water for a refreshing and fragrant pick-up. Another hand-care idea that uses citrus is a mixture of equal parts honey and orange juice. This should be left on about 10 minutes before rinsing. Then there is the lemon rinse. Oiliness in hair can be reduced by using a rinse of lemon juice after shampooing, says Miss Tutterow. Dilute the juice of half a lemon in warm water and pour it over your hair. Then rinse with warm water. It is hard to imagine the effect some of the more inventive home beauty aids might have. New Bern Loan & Jewelers Your Reliable Diamond & Watch Store. 215 MIDDLE ST.
