As collegiettes, we always want to look our best and keep costs at a minimum. With our busy schedules, we can’t always get the beauty rest we need. The upcoming winter months can be tough on our skin. Every now and then, it’s fun to try some beauty remedies that revitalize and rejuvenate our skin. Unfortunately, many of us don’t have cars, and let’s face it, the loop bus isn’t pleasant! Here are some recipes for beauty treatments you can make with free ingredients you can find without leaving campus!

2 table spoons of olive oil (Eickoff salad bar)
First, pour the sugar and the olive oil into a small bowl and stir together. Then, pour into your hands and rub together as if you are rubbing in lotion. Rinse with warm water.
Lemon Sugar Facial Scrub
