    Most people throw away egg yolks when only the white is needed. Do not do this because egg yolk can be a great face mask. Beat the egg yolks to a runny liquid and apply it on your face. Let the egg yolk mask remain on your face for at least fifteen minutes. When the egg yolk hardens, rinse with cool water.

    Grapefruit juice can be a great remedy for tired, tense feet. Squeeze a couple of grapefruit in a bucket full of water. If it is winter, the water should be warm whereas it should be cold in summer season. For at least half an hour, leave your feet immersed in the grapefruit-water mixture to smooth and soften your tired tootsies.

    Prepare a cup of tea but do not throw away the tea bag because it can work wonders on your eyes. After you have squeeze dried the tea bag, chill it in a refrigerator.

While the tea bag is still warmed after you have squeeze dried it, apply the warm tea bag to the cyst for approximately ten minutes.
