Forget buying yourself a bouquet of flowers for your dining room table and instead, turn the fruit that's produced on rose bushes, known as a 'rosehip' into oil. Jackson says this 'accessory' is nature's star student for skin and hair. "It is extracted from the seeds of different wild rose species and is positively loaded with omega-6 fatty acids, which makes it a natural antioxidant with endless healing properties," she explains. Among them: Rosehips help heal sunburns, reduce dandruff, nourish dry hair and give your skin a beautiful glow.

If you have a slow cooker and access to a rosebush, pick the berries and wash them thoroughly before chopping them into small pieces. Then let them simmer for 4 to 6 hours, along with a carrier oil (like coconut or almond). Strain the mixture using a cheesecloth. Keep in your fridge to keep it fresh.

Your day might not start without turning to your old coffee mug from college, but have you considered putting those grinds on your skin? Dermatologic surgeon, Dendy Engelman, MD, says coffee is a natural, safe exfoliant that battles cellulite, too. The key skin-care ingredient of these beans? Caffeine! "Caffeine aids in the lymphatic drainage to smooth out the appearance of skin by increasing circulation. By exfoliating with a scrub, dead skin cells on the surface are buffed away and the caffeine adds some actual shrinkage to the fat cells. Skin is left looking and feeling smoother," she explains.

At home, making a coffee scrub is a no-brainer: just mix together ground coffee, sugar and coconut oil. Apply to your face or derriere and leave on for five minutes before washing off, giving you smoother, cleaner pores or a smoother backside.
