Skin Care Recipes

I promised to give you more budget friendly do-it-yourself tips to maintain that overall beauty that is YOU! When it comes to beauty, there is never short of things or ingredients to be had, natural that is. As I said, everything is available in your kitchen or garden. It is all organic and natural with great results and most of all easy on the budget. You may already have them so it wouldn't cost you a dime.

Here are some simple Homemade Skincare Recipes you can try:

Yogurt face mask

1 tsp. natural yogurt (not non-fat or lowfat)

1 tsp. runny honey (heat up hard honey to smooth up)

This recipe is a great cleanser that moisturizes as well, you should opt for plain yogurt. You add a little honey to the mixture and spread it right onto your face. Avoid your eyes, just in case they are sensitive to the mixture. Leave it on your face for about ten minutes and then wash off with water. You will love the silky way your skin feels after using your yogurt cleanser. You can even use this several times a day. Be sure to store it in the refrigerator.

Egg mask

2 eggs

2 teaspoon water

2 teaspoon honey

Raw eggs are wonderful for fast face masks. Simply beat two eggs, a little water, and some honey into a bowl. Rub it onto your face and let it dry for fifteen minutes. After it dries, wash it off well. Be sure to keep it away from your eyes and mouth. Raw eggs can contain bacteria and you don't want to eat them. This is a great way to lightly exfoliate your skin as well.

Oatmeal Face Cleanser Oatmeal is nourishing to the skin and is used in many parts of the world as a beauty aid.

3 tablespoons oatmeal

2 teaspoons witch hazel

And a few drops of water

Dampen the oatmeal first then add the witch hazel. Then add the water to make it moist. Apply to your face with an upward and outward circular motion. Rinse with lots of warm water. This recipe is good for all kinds of skin. If you have dry skin add a little olive oil. You can also add mashed banana for more nourishment.

Note: a witch hazel is the "baking soda" of skin care: It's a simple, all-purpose, old-fashioned product that's been used for generations.

They are popular ornamental plants grown for their clusters of rich yellow to orange-red flowers which begin to expand in the autumn as or slightly before the leaves fall, and continue throughout the winter, sometimes called "winterbloom". The bark and leaves are astringent; the extract, also referred to as witch hazel, is used medicinally.
