When
one goes out camping in the wonderful wilds, one does not often have access
to hot water, shampoo, or even running water for that matter. The
following are two corn based remedies that can be used while camping or
even if your hair and face need a quick fix with no time for a full blown
cleansing.
Camping
Shampoo
Taking
a handfull of cornstarch, rub it into your hair and scalp and let sit for
up to 5 minutes. How long you let it sit depends on how oily your
hair has become. After letting it sit, simply brush it out vigorously
until no more powder falls from your hair. This can take a few minutes
of brushing your hair back and forth. Voila! Relatively clean
hair.
Face
Scrub
Take a
handful of corn meal, add water. Scrub your face with this paste.
If your face has become very oily, let the paste dry on your face.
Avoid the eyes and nose as with any cleanser. Rinse throughly.
This recipe is also very good for ridding yourself of stubborn blackheads
at home where you can use warm water.
