Caring for our skin is something men and women both worry about. It’s never enjoyable to deal with dry or oily skin that can cause conditions such as acne and overall itchiness. If you really care about what you use on your skin, you should follow the rule of thumb that anything your put on your face or skin should be safe enough to eat. With different perfumes, synthetics and other ingredients present store manufactured products, making our own beauty products might just be the best alternative. Here we offer you a few ideas for skin masques that are made from natural ingredients that can be found in your own home and that will not cause your skin any problems. These are skin care beauty treatment you should try on a regular basis.
Let’s start with excessively oily skin. Most of the time manufactured products are too harsh on the skin and don’t absorb the oil like it should. If you do find a product that works, you could be left with extremely dry skin. Trying to find a happy medium with store bought products can be difficult. Make a masque of honey and one egg white and apply it to the problem areas. Leave it on for 10 minutes than wash off with a mild cleanser. Papaya pulp with lemon juice, fruit juice with vitamin C and cooked carrots with honey can also be used to make a masque that will soak up the excessive oils.
We all know that cucumber slices are great to lighten dark circles from your eyes and make them feel cool. You can also use grated raw potato wrapped in a piece of cheesecloth. By applying both of them to your eyes for about 15 to 20 minutes at a time, you’ll notice that the dark circles have faded. This technique also reduces eye puffiness and can be a pleasant and relaxing experience. Apply a restorative eye gel that contains COQ10, brown algae, vitamin E, and other ingredients that will nourish the eyes.
Dry skin can be handled with a masque made of 1 tablespoon of olive oil mixed with 2 tablespoons of fresh cream. Apply it to your face and leave it on for ten minutes to hydrate and nourish your skin. You should make sure that the two ingredients are as fresh as possible and do not have any flavoring or preservatives in them. To control dry skin, you should use this masque once a week for the best results possible.
Finally, honey makes a great facial masque for any type of skin. If you can get your hands on active manuka honey, then you will have the most effective skin care product nature can provide. Before smearing the honey all over your face, open your pores up by applying a very warm and damp towel to your face. Apply the honey and leave it on your face for twenty minutes for the best results. Rinse the honey off with warm water and then splash cold water over your face to make sure your pores are closed before gently patting your face dry. You can add plain, natural yogurt to the honey for a more nourishing masque. Apply this once a week to your face and you’ll notice your skin is smoother and softer than before.
Natural skin care products – either ones that are 100% natural from a manufacturer or ones that you make yourself – are the best items to use on your skin. Try to stay away from harsh chemicals and ingredients. They will do more damage to your skin than you can imagine. By taking care of your skin now, you will be thankful in the future.

that looks dry and really harsh.
avon anew is formulated for antiaging purposes, and any skin lightening ingredient is in its smallest concentration..
skin lightening treatments should not rely on products alone.. here's what i found out after years of suffering from pigmentations and uneven skin color –
1. use safe and effective skin lighteners (no hydroquinone, mercury or steroids).. stay away from fair and white because it HAS hydroquinone.
2. wear a high spf (at least 30 or better) sunscreen
3. use your favorite moisturizers
4. vitamin C
only the above regimen will give that rosy fair skin glow… if you need more info, let me know.
your really hot…do u have a boyfriend?
when i lived in the U.S. and had a job (i'm an exchange student so i can't get one here) i spent about $400 every month on shampoo, conditioner, hair products, mostly makeup from sephora, skin care, and a manicure. here i only have the resources to spend about $50 then again everything is cheaper here.
none
under 50, mostly under 30 or so or sometimes none at all
none
i have good skin.. so i just buy lotion, which lasts me a while, so i don't buy every month. i bought some like a year ago at a good sale and i still haven't used it up.. and that was like five bucks worth (bath and body works) – havent bought any lotion since
im in high school and the pe im taking this year takes place in the weight room..so i dont go to the gym
under 20
none
none.. but im getting new glasses soon but this is like every two years lol..idk how much
&no cosmetic surgery. not in a million years.
Here are my favorite homemade hair and skin treatments.
Hair Conditioner
Lola B. (above) mentioned coconut oil. I use virgin coconut oil on my hair whenever it feels dry or damaged, and it works better than any professional product I’ve ever tried. If the coconut oil is solid, warm it up in the palms of your hands. Spread it through your hair, leave it on for at least 10 minutes, shampoo, and continue with your usual routine.
SCRUBS
Scrubs are good for deep cleaning and exfoliating. I like these:
Sugar Scrub
Combine:
1 cup olive oil
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons cream or whole milk
5 drops orange oil
Makes enough sugar scrub for the entire body.
Leave on for 10-15 minutes and then rinse off.
The glycolic acid in sugar–and the rough texture–makes it ideal for exfoliating and giving the skin a healthy glow.
Coffee Scrub
3 tablespoons coffee grounds (Organic and caffeinated coffee is best.)
1 tablespoon salt
Brew a pot of coffee. Combine 3 tablespoons of the grounds with the salt in a small bowl. (Make this scrub within 20 minutes of brewing the coffee to avoid oxidation.)
While in the shower, work this treatment over the entire body.
Caffeine is often used to combat cellulite.
Corn Meal Cleansing Scrub
½ cup corn meal
½ cup finely grated facial soap
Mix the ingredients together, and store in a closed container until ready to apply. To use, put about 2 tablespoons of the dry scrub in the palm of your hand, add just enough water to make a paste, and smooth onto your face. Massage lightly in small circles. Rinse off with water. Follow with a toner or astringent, if desired.
This scrub is recommended for oily skin with large pores.
MASKS
Masks are nourishing and can help with many issues. Here is one I use:
Easy Kitchen Cream
2 tablespoons fresh dairy cream
1 teaspoon honey
Stir ingredients together well. Put the mask on your face, allow it to dry, and then gently wash off.
Use this preparation for softening the skin and reducing fine lines.
ACNE / BLEMISH HELP
When an occasional blemish shows up, I like to use these spot treatments:
Aspirin Paste
3 aspirin tablets (uncoated)
enough water or aloe vera juice or honey to produce a paste
Put the aspirins into a small bowl. With a pestle (if you have one) or the back of a spoon, grind the aspirin tablets into as fine a powder as possible. Then add the liquid, a drop at a time, until you have a mixture with a paste-like consistency. Use this as a spot treatment for blackheads, pimples, and other acne blemishes. It can be left on for at least 15 minutes or overnight, if desired.
You can make a larger quantity and use it as an overall facial mask on clean skin. Avoid the eyes and mouth. When using aspirin as a mask, wash it off after 15 minutes.
Aspirin paste has an excellent reputation for its effectiveness. Like many other topical treatments, results are most noticeable when the product is used on a regular basis. Apply the treatment at least 3 times a week in addition to your usual skin care routine.
Baking Soda Paste
2 teaspoons baking soda
½ teaspoon water or aloe vera juice
Add the baking soda to the liquid in a small bowl. Stir to a paste-like consistency. Apply enough to a blemish to cover it well. Allow the paste to remain on the skin for at least 30 minutes. Wash off with cool water.
A baking soda paste gives soothing relief to red, inflamed areas, and it is a traditional remedy for bee stings. Many acne sufferers have used this paste for its soothing, anti-inflammatory properties.
I like homemade recipes because they’re inexpensive and you have total control over the ingredients that go into them. You can find dozens more natural and/or homemade recipes on http://www.oldenbuzz.com/beauty-cosmetics-skin-recipes.html . Have fun!
son de lavanda
First i wouldn't buy any skincare products from Walmart no offence second, drinking a lot of water and eating fruits and vegetables is a start for clearing up your skin. also a lot of the products http://www.cosmeticsurgeoninajar.com seem to work great for anti aging. I'm sure you'll find something good there
Good vid
Grape fruit oils are very good at exfoliating
i hear lemon is good too
1. lavender essential oil
2. patchouli essential oil
3. grapefruit essential oil
Am I the only one who thinks that essential oils -although they smell divine- are irritating to your skin, and therefor not suitable for a facial srub? .. just a thought
Not all oils are irritating you just need to be cautious of what oils you use, and only in very small amounts 1-2 drops max. You should seek advise from a professional aromatherapist if you want to make your own as some oils can be phototoxic and will cause discolouration of the skin if you go out in the sun with them on!
You do have some pretty good tips, so why not use your knowledge to help others and answer questions! It's really fun and you can earn points, instead of losing them. Try it out!
As long as you dillute them you can safely use essential oils on the skin. Some you can apply directly, without irritation, i.e. lavendar and tea tree.
Mine:
some times i have a big RED zit (it's not even a zit it's just big red spot at the middle of my face….)
so i take eye drops (for allergies exc….) and i dip a q-tip inside..
then i press on my red zit for about a minute…and the zit heals..
it is not red anymore and you put some concelar on it, and it's like i never had it!!!!
thank youu!!
