HOTEL ROOM BEAUTY

Sugar packets mixed with water as exfoliate and toner; salt works but NOT on the FACE! Mash fruit such as orange, banana or apple from fruit basket for a masque and remember white wine from the mini-bar helps with sunburn; Beer is a great rinse for hair! Mayo and honey from room service- both used for hair. Use my dry hair, mix into hair and cover with hotel plastic shower cap; wait 20 minutes and then shampoo out.
