In Other Ways

2. I find it fascinating to explore new
ways to use food as part of the journey
of creating a new relationship with it.
This has become a random hobby of
mine, to learn recipes for making body
scrubs, lotions and soaps using all-
natural ingredients. It’s a fun hobby to
make gifts. I also find that the all-
natural products I create work just as
well, if not better, than the expensive
products I have poured money into.

3. Here’s a list of 34 different
foods and alternative ways to
use them:

4. 1. Oatmeal can be used for a facemask and
scrubs. Oats contains gluten that whisks away
dead cells making skin smooth and supple.

5. 2. Banana peels can be useful in many ways because they
are full of antioxidants. Applying the inner portion of banana
peels to your face alone can help you brighten and tone your
skin. Dry skin? The vitamins and minerals in banana peel can
help you get rid of dry and dull skin by locking in moisture.
Acne? The enzymes in banana peel can help get rid of not
only acne, but dark blemishes as well. Wrinkles? No problem!
The antioxidants in banana peel will help hydrate and promote
supple youthful skin.

6. 3. Lemon with its citrus smell can be used as
deodorant because it keeps the skin smooth &
germ-free. It can also be rubbed over areas of rough
skin to remove dead skin cells.

7. 4. Use Salt for exfoliation. It can be combined with
other extracts like coconut or olive oil to lessen it’s
rough texture, then rubbed on the skin.

8. 5. Have you tried applying Mayonnaise on your hair
as a moisturizer? (I also like coconut oil…it just feels
a little better to put coconut oil on my hair instead of
mayo.)

9. 6. Baking soda added with a teaspoon of water can
be mixture of an alternative whitening toothpaste as
well as an exfoliating scrub for your face, especially
if you have oily skin.

and eye puffiness is reduced.

13. 10. Orange peels can be used as a raw
material for making biodegradable plastics. A
little grounded or dried peel can also be used

a peel on your skin before going outside to
