An easy and recession friendly solution straight from your kitchen cupboard...

Sometimes the best beauty solutions can be found not in your bathroom cupboard, but in the kitchen pantry. If you suffer from constant dry hands, try massaging olive oil into them every night - the condition should improve after a week or so.

Other recession friendly uses for the humble bottle of olive oil:

• Massage into your hair at night and wash out in the morning for a nourishing treatment that is great for dry and brittle hair.
• Get hubby, boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, bestie to give you an hour long back and neck massage
• Use as an eye makeup remover
• Apply an all over body moisturiser - especially great on summer evenings as it gives your skin a sexy sheen
• Add a few drops to your bath water to soften your skin
