Honey – Believe it or not, honey packs a punch for more than your tea. This sticky sweetener is a powerful natural antiseptic, and can be used in facial masks as a sort of natural hydrogen peroxide, cleaning skin and tightening pores. It can also be used to reduce inflammations from common skin infections or rashes. Finally, it’s high in antioxidants, the same anti-aging free radicals found in fruits like blueberries and raspberries, and can be used as a moisturizing agent for the skin.

Coffee – Instant coffee, though perhaps not preferable to drink, actually contains the same benefits of ground coffee when it comes to the caffeine proportions. One of the most popular DIY spa treatments involving this early-morning staple is actually a cellulite scrub. Mix with olive oil and massage into areas affected by cellulite. The caffeine will absorb into the skin and tighten blood vessels, which will temporarily reduce the appearance of cellulite.

Sugar – With the coming dry air associated with winter months, dry skin becomes a number one nemesis among people with sensitive skin. Granulated sugar can help combat by sloughing off dry, dead skin when mixed with oil and rubbed on to affected areas.

Eggs – Good for breakfast and good for your hair. Eggs, like mayonnaise, are a traditional ingredient used in homemade hair conditioners. Mix the two, leave on hair for several minutes and rinse to restore moisture and sheen to tired hair. Just don’t forget to wash your hands after handling raw eggs.
