Funeral services were held Beauty Aids Often Use Food Items You don’t have to look i any further than your refrigerator or pantry for the “working” ingre dients 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 ingre dients 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 Uni versity. Some of these preparations are very easy to make. Try 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 the 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.

Then rinse with warm water. It is hard to imagine the effect some of the more inventive home beauty aids might have. Take the treatment for puffy eyes. Home beauty enthusiasts suggest put ting a slice of avocado or cucumber, or a cold tea bag on or under the eyes for a few minutes while resting. Two recipes for facial masks might well vie with commercial prep arations in their pore tightening effect. The first is for a lemon mask using one egg white, a half cup of lemon juice and dry oatmeal. Mix the egg white and lemon juice with enough oatmeal to make a paste. Apply this to your face and neck and allow it to dry. Then rinse with warm water. And here is a recipe for a cucumber facial mask. Combine one-half cup cucumber pieces, with peel, one egg white and two tablespoons of dry milk powder in a blender. Blend at high speed until smooth. Spread the mask on your face and let it remain about 30 minutes. Rinse it off with lukewarm water. Social Security Questions And Answers By D. H.
