All Natural Skin Care

Olive oil, coconut, mayonnaise, eggs, yogurt, honey, oatmeal, and fruits – these are probably all in your kitchen, and it takes a little time and imagination to use them as your skin care products.

Face cleansers

Honey

Rub honey onto your face with smooth circular movements. Dip your fingers in hot water and repeat. The warm water helps soften the skin and helps shift embedded dirt and dead skin cells. Massage for a few minutes. Rinse off with warm water and pat your skin dry.

Sweet Almond Oil or Wheatgerm Oil

These are effective cleansers, for all skin types. Just massage gently on your face, then remove with a damp cloth.

Yogurt and Grated Orange Peel

• 4 tablespoons yogurt
• 2 tablespoons grated orange peel

Yogurt can act as an exfoliant, while the orange peel removes dirt and oil. Mix the yogurt and grated orange peel together. Massage into skin for minutes, then rinse with warm water.

Face Scrubs and Masks

Ripe Papaya

Slice large pieces of the papaya and remove the skin. Cleanse your face then rub the fleshy inside part over your face and neck for a couple of minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cool water and pat dry. The enzyme found in papaya, literally dissolves keratin – which is the hardened protein found in dead skin cells.

Honey and Sugar

Mix equal amounts of honey and sugar. Apply to face and neck, then rub gently in a circular motion. Leave on for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.

Oatmeal and Yogurt Mix

• 2 tablespoons oatmeal
• 4 tablespoons yogurt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Mix all ingredients into a paste. Gently apply to skin, leave on for five minutes, and rinse with cold water. Air your face out to dry.

Oatmeal and Apple Concoction

• 1 tablespoon finely ground oatmeal
• 1 tablespoon yogurt
• ½ freshly grated apple
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Mix the oatmeal and yogurt to a paste then add the apple and lemon juice and stir well. Apply to clean, dry skin and leave on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water and pat the skin dry.

Oatmeal and Fruit

• ½ cup soaked oatmeal
• ¼ mango for normal skin
• Strawberries for oily skin
• ¼ avocado for dry skin

Soak oatmeal in a bowl. Mash in the mango, strawberries, or avocado – depending on your skin type. Mix together to form a paste. Leave on for five minutes then rinse.
