Yahoo! Shine

Brown Sugar and Honey Facial Scrub. The brown sugar exfoliates, scrubbing off dead skin cells and unclogging pores, while honey (a natural antibacterial) cleans skin.

Lemon Sugar Hand and Foot Scrub. Lemon has many amazing properties, including lightening, exfoliating, cleaning, toning, and brightening skin. This lemon scrub is made with granulated sugar, almond oil, and a heavy helping of lemon.

The Miracle Mask. Nutmeg, honey, and cinnamon work as natural anti-inflammatories and exfoliators ... coming together to create a calming, soothing face mask.

Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch Scrub. This homemade body scrub uses simple ingredients that couldn't be more accessible, including: brown sugar, honey, extra virgin olive oil, and lemon juice.

Mellow Yellow Nail Rinse. If your nails are turning yellow from either sun exposure or excessive nail polish, all you need is some lemon for cleaner-looking nails.

Beer Rinse. Ah, the magical properties of beer. Did you know that beer's yeast and hops actually plump the hair shaft and cuticles (naturally adding volume), while the beer's acidity removes any product build-up? Bottoms up!

Avocado Hair Mask. The ladies in the SELF beauty department claim that the cucumber and aloe in this mask cools and soothes, while the avocado nourishes the scalp and gives a healthy shine to your hair.

Aloe Vera Eye Cream. This is a must-try recipe for any girl who finds her eyes wishing they had a couple more hours of sleep.
