**TOTW:: **Home-made Recipes/Tips!** :)

I have seen many posts regarding any homemade recipes, so I thought, why not?

Treatment for Dark Under Eye Circles

Grated potatoes can lighten under-eye circles. Potatoes contain an enzyme called catecholase, which is used in cosmetics as a human skin lightener.

Run one spud through your food processor and stuff the raw mash into a piece of cheesecloth.
Apply to the area directly beneath your eye — don't let the potato juice come in contact with the eye itself — and leave for 15 to 20 minutes.

Wipe away the starchy residue

Make Your Own Hair Perfume

It is pleasant to perfume the hair after washing it when the hair is half dry. The following ingredients are required to make this fragrant perfume.

• 6 tablespoons powdered charcoal
• 5 tablespoons powders myrrh
• 1 tablespoon powdered benzoin
• 1 tablespoon potassium nitrate
• 2-3 drops oil of bergamot
• 2-3 drops of sandalwood
• mucilage of tragacanth

Mix the powders together and sieve, and then add the oils. Add the potassium nitrate, and then sufficient mucilage of tragacanth to make a stiff paste.

Heat the mixture over a water bath and then make into little cones and dry. Just light one of the cones and let the smoke go into the damp hair.
The smell is highly aromatic and exotic.
