  • Stretch marks: mix in a blender the peels of five beetroots, five peaches and a carrot’s core. The result will be paste you will have to place on the stretch marks.  
  • Body skin hydration: pour in the bathtub’s water one cup of honey with one liter of milk and eight teaspoons of salt. 
  • Breast enhancement: apply a slight darker shade of powder between your breasts. In summer, use translucent powders and to give it a tanned look, use self-tanners.  
  • Dry hands: blend the juice of half lemon with sugar and massage your hands with this paste for five minutes, and then wash your hands.
  • Softer and longer waxing: right after you wax, pass the exfoliating gloves along your legs and apply a generous amount of body cream.
