Home-made natural face care

Who wants to spend $20-30 on facial masks, cleansers, and exfoliators? NOT ME! So, head to your kitchen and whip up some face love!

Blend equal parts yogurt, orange peel and lemon peel; use as a mask to help acne prone skin.

Lightly beat an egg white. Add lemon juice. Use as a mask to tighten pores.

Grind up some blue cornmeal into superfine powder. Add a little to the palm of your hand. Mix with water and use as a scrub or a mask to remove blackheads.

Grind up brown rice into a superfine powder. Add a little to your palm, add water, use as a scrub or a mask to help ease oily skin and detox large pores.

Grind colloidal oatmeal, oat bran, and oat flour (or any mixture of 1 or more of these ingredients) into a powder. Add to your palm, add water, and use as a skin buffing wash or mask.

Grind sea salt and colloidal oatmeal to a fine powder. Add to your palm, add water, and use as a skin detoxifier and hydrating scrub.

Make a tea with chammomile, peppermint, and sage or basil (you can add rose water and honey for hydration) and use as a natural toner.
