Apple cider vinegar naturally neutralizes oil. Use a little in your hair to remove unwanted greasiness. Use on your face with cotton balls as a toner to reduce unwanted shine and make a better base for your makeup. If you have a fresh apple around make thin slices, apply it to your face, sit back and let the apples do their work. You will get an oil-free face plus extra vitamins from the fresh apple.

An easy way to get soft feet is to soak them in an even mixture of  warmed milk and warm water. This is really nice for those who don't want to take a full bath in milk. Be sure to exfoliate with a scrub and you are good to go!
