Today when we want to try out a skin care product, we immediately
think of 'which one will I buy'. It wasn't that long ago when the only
option available was to make your own skin care treatments. Of course
there are many excellent commercial skin care products who have
thousands of adoring customers. If you wanted something different,
something more holistic or even organic, there are companies who
produce these items as well. What if you wanted to go an even more all
natural route and create your own skin care regimen at home?
Well, obviously, to do that you would need to manufacture all the skin
care products yourself. A typical skin care regimen consists of first
exfoliating your skin, followed by a nice cleanser. Next, applying a
toner helps really condition and clean the skin. Lastly, a good
moisturizer helps leave the skin smooth and silky. So, knowing that,
all one needs to do is find recipes for each of these steps in the
process. Note: If you prefer an organic option, make sure all the
produce in the following recipes is organic.
Home Made Lemon Exfoliator:
Take one lemon and cut in half and juice it. Save the lemon halves to
rub on your elbows, knees and bottoms of your heels (anywhere you have
thick skin). Combine the lemon juice with 1/2 to 2/3 cups of
granulated sugar. Take this mixture and rub it all over your body
while standing in the tub or shower. Once you have completely rubbed
the paste all over your skin (take care on your face and avoid using
it near your eyes), rinse your body.
Home Made Facial Cleanser:
Take 1 cup of roll oats or oatmeal and add it to a blender. Process it
for a few seconds to soften the flakes. Do not process it to a powder.
In a bowl, add the processed oats and 1 tablespoon of granulated salt
or sugar. To this mixture, add 1/4 cup of farina. To use it, splash
your face with lukewarm water. With your wet fingers, take the mixture
from the bowl and rub it on
