I'm all about finding natural, CHEAP, skin care. I came across a couple of natural treatments that someone could make from ingredients they probably already have on hand. Enjoy!
Skin Lightener
The natural whitening properties of lemon and yogurt help fade acne marks, annd the egg white protein boost the skin's natural defenses against future wear and tear. Honey holds antibacterial benefits and soothes the skin.
Yeild: 8 applications
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons of honey
4 teaspoons of lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
3 teaspoons plain or Greek yogurt
1 egg white
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk until the mask thickens. Apply to your clean, dry face and let set for 15 minutes. Gently wash off with warm water.
Oatmeal Onion Face Mask
Oatmeal clears clogged pores. Onions, and anti-inflammatory, help heal acne scars.
Yield: 8 applications
Ingredients:
1 ounce of water
3 tablespoons of plain oatmeal
1 medium onion, peeled
Boil water and pour over oatmeal, letting it steep for five minutes.
Finely grind the onion in a food processor, making a smooth puree. Add the oatmeal while its still warm.
If the mask is not thick enough, you can add some honey.
Apply to your clean, dry face and let sit for10-20 minutes. Wash off with warm water.
Last one week in the refridgerator.
