And they're not the only ones. Did you know, for instance, that the oils in avocados more closely resemble our own skin's oils than any product in the beauty aisle does? Or that the mild acidity in lemon is an effective—and gentler—alternative to chemical-laden products?

To Use: For normal hair, use the entire egg to condition hair; use egg whites only to treat oily hair; use egg yolks only to moisturize dry, brittle hair, Cox says. Photo by Shutterstock.

Five Reasons Why Living Abroad is Good for Your Muse © pedrosimoes7 If you’ve ever slung a pack on your back and headed off to see the world, likelihood is you’ve kept a travel diary.
