Facials in your home.

Hey there! dont have all that cool cash to get your forthnightly facial done? Here's a few good tips you could incorporate in your own home!


For Oily Skin
Use some plain Milk of Magnesia, rub it on and let dry, then rinse with lukewarm water. It absorbs oil wonderfully!
First, clean your face with water only. Never use soap. You can open your pores with hot compresses (washcloth) For a facial scrub, moisten oatmeal to a "goo", use it to scrub your face (not around your eyes). Wash off with cool water.
Mix regular clean kitty litter, the clay kind, with water and strain out the grit. It really felt good.
Just beat one egg white until it is frothy. Spread it all over your face. Wait until it dries. Rinse it off. My face feels very clean and "tight" after this application.


Dissolve a teaspoon of baking yeast in a small amount of warm milk, wait until foamy, then apply (best done in the bath tub);


Puree flesh of a tomato and mix with some potato flour to make a paste;


Thinly slice cucumber (it will whiten your skin);


beaten egg whites with a few drops of lemon juice (great for getting rid of blackheads)



Mash carrots (but don't use this one more than about every other week because it can overdry your skin). This one will make you look tanned.


For Normal/Combination Skin

Grapes (just cut a berry in half and rub lightly)


Mash strawberries (test behind your ear first, because many people are alergic to strawberies used this way even thougth they can eat them just fine) smooth on face. Leave on for 10 minutes.


Mix honey and ricotta cheese. Spread on face and wait 15-20 minutes.

For an easy exfoliating mask, mix three tablespoons olive oil or any good oil and one tablespoon kosher salt mix and gently rub into dry skin. Do not use around eye area. This works great on elbows and feet, but it can also be used on cheeks and forehead
Use warm cloth to open pores, smear on honey, leave on 15 to 30 minutes, rinse off with warm water, and then use cold water to close pores. Use for 3 days in a row and then once a week.
Mix one egg and 1/2 cup cooked instant oatmeal and a teaspoon olive oil until smooth. Spread on your face and leave 15 min then rinse.



For Dry Skin
Mix one egg yolk, one teaspoon honey and a teaspoon olive oil and some vitamin E oil if you have it. Smooth on and leave on for 15 min.
Take one raw egg yolk. Apply the raw yolk to your face and neck for 30 minutes and rinse with cool water. Egg yolks are high in vitamin A. The mask is very effective in healing blemishes.
Process oatmeal to a powder in the blender and either skim milk or if you are trying to fade spots lemon juice. smear paste on face. Leave on for 15 minutes.


Smear sour cream on face, avoiding eyes. Leave on for 15 minutes.


Warm plain olive oil. Smear on face and let cool. Rinse with warm water. Rinse again with cool water to seal pores.


Mash one avocado. Apply pulp to clean face. Relax for 15-20 minutes before rinsing.
