Ready to Bare Those Pale Winter Legs?

With soaring temperatures and harsh sunlight, the approaching summer can throw humidity-clogged pores and sunburned skin at you, but there are natural solutions in your very own home that may help with achieving a healthy look for many seasons to come.

Changing your look usually has something to do with gaining more confidence about how you appear to yourself and to others, so when winter comes to a close, it’s time to take inventory! Lisa Blau at ABCNews’ Vital Juice Daily blog provides some tips and “recipes” for tackling dry skin, scaly legs and arms, unsightly nails, and weather-teased hair.

Many of her suggested remedy ingredients are straight out of the kitchen pantry—sugar, lemon juice, buttermilk, coffee—so, there isn’t a huge monetary commitment involved in trying a homemade banana hair conditioner or an egg-and-honey hand scrub. Keep a log of positive (and negative) effects and decide which solutions are worth repeating. [Abcnews.com]
