Facial scrub for oily skin:

This scrub helps to get rid of the dirt and the superficial dead skin but it should not be used more than once a week and never on dry skin. Mix 2 teaspoon of fine bran with a quarter of dried yeast and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice along with a table spoon of water. Gently massage the thick paste so formed in the skin, particularly on and around the nose and the chin area, using a soft brush; avoid applying around the eyes. Wash off after 1-2 minute using warm water.

Homemade Red Algae Clay Mask

1 part Red Algae powder (found in health food stores)

1 part Kaolin clay powder

Mix with a few drops of water and smooth over face.

Allow to dry and rinse off with warm water.

Out of all of my experiments THIS left my skin the smoothest.

I've never seen my face look so healthy!

You girls MUST try this if you can find Red Algae powder.

Note: Red Algae powder is coarse and could be too much of an exfoliant for some with sensitive skin or acne. I have very sensitive skin and no acne but the texture could have easily irritated my skin. It did not and the results were great but I just wanted to let you know beforehand. You know your skin - if you cannot handle most exfoliants, do not try this as this is much coarser than mainstream facial exfoliants.
