It will condition your hair (you only need a small amount). Elmer’s Glue - paint on your face, allow it to dry, peel off, and see the dead skin and blackheads. Shiny Hair - use brewed Lipton tea. Disclaimer: I copied this from a newsletter and haven’t tried any of it, so proceed at your own risk, ha. And by the way, I tried the old may on n a is e -o n -th e -f a ce- overnight routine as a moistur izer and all I did was gain weight - I had to get up and make myself a tuna sandwich every night.
