Beauty on a Budget: Effective Products for Less Than $10

[Blackstar*]

Any recommendations or reviews?

African women of all ages here in France have the most beautiful skin and their secret seems to be pure <span style="font-weight: bold">shea butter</span>. I've been using the supermarket brand which is more refined that these ladies get from their respective countries, but it is still great for protecting and hydrating the skin. <span style="font-weight: bold">About $7 for 16 ounces.</span>

juice of fresh limes to remove dark spots

crystal deodorant -- the rock on lasts over a year and is under $10


vicks vapor rub on feet at night to keep them soft

the pure shea butter is good but the reprocessed shea butter (like u buy in the pharmacy) eliminates the scent

Africa's Best - Organic Hair Mayonanisse - $7.99

I washed my own hair for the first time in years and used this stuff to deep condition. My hair has been so soft and retained so much moisture it is unbelievable!

I did give my hairdresser a jar to use when I come in but she keeps forgetting &quot;rolleyes: to use it. Now, I am gonna insist because this stuff works so well at hydrating my hair.
