Don't spend tons of money on skin care products this summer.

1. Skin Cleansers: Found in your own fridge is the best chemical-free cleanser…milk! It does a body good, and it helps clean your summer skin. All you need to do is dip a cotton-ball in milk and wipe your face with it. It'll clean unseen dirt and it gets down into your pores, too.

When you have lemons, don't make lemonade-make a cleanser. Once a week, squeeze some lemons and rub the juice on your skin. Rinse off when you're done, make sure not to get it in your eyes.



2. Skin Conditioners: An easy conditioner for your face is simply mixing 1 tablespoon of honey with 2 tablespoons of cream (of milk). Leave it on for a few minutes and wash off with warm water.

What's up Doc? Grate a carrot and boil it in water. Let cool and then massage the mixture on your face for a few minutes to get super-smooth skin.

3. Skin Facial: Cut up small amounts of avocado, oatmeal, honey and milk and then mix them in a blender. Apply to your face, and then place cucumber slices on your eyes. Sit back and relax for 15 minutes while letting it dry. Rinse off with warm water.

4. Skin Masks: Mix two tablespoons of honey with two tablespoons of plain yogurt. Leave it on and let dry for around 20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

No steak with this meal-all you'll need is two tablespoons of sour cream, mixed with a grated raw potato. Leave on for 15 minutes and then rinse off with warm water.

5. Skin Moisturizer: For normal skin-take 1 cup of yogurt, 1 tablespoon of orange juice and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and mix into a paste. Apply on and let stand for 15 minutes, and wipe off with a wet tissue. For dry skin-use a mixture of cooked oatmeal and honey and apply to your face. Leave on for 10 minutes and wipe off with a wet wash cloth. For oily skin-cut beet root into small pieces and grind them. Squeeze juice from beet root and massage to your face for 5 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

 
I have done some of this...but it so great to buy it in cute little packages.LOL

 
For the milk as a cleanser, what about spoiled milk? Milk that's already passed the expiration date. Can you use that too?

 
Thanks Kim!

I really like to try that Skin Facial one, but I might have to spare some of the Avocados after mix them though because I love Avocado specially when it mixed with milk and chocolate yummmm.lol

 
LOL yes, it's my fave Juice since I was a kid lol.

I usually mix it with milk and chocolate liquid or something to make it sweet yumm yummm......okay, I must stop now lol.

 
Lol, it's more like smoothie Kim.

You can also put the liquid choco after you mixed it or when it's ready to serve.

It'll more delicious when it's cold or with ice on it.

I'm drooling for Avocado juice now lol.

We're hijacking your skin care thread to Juice recipe LOL.

 
Thank you for the info Kim!

I never know that, not until now!

I'm glad that I've been taking care or body/skin since I was a kid.

I drink the avocado juice sometimes here but without the choco, only milk and a bit of sugar and it's still yummy tasty for me lol.

 
Thanks!!

But what about allergic reactions? I am always scared of that.:icon_eek: Also have you ever tried warm oatmeal on your face? Its suppose to scrub away dead skin, provide moisture and softens the face!!

 
Yes, watch out for any recipes with strawberries and test them on yourself first. They can be wonderful, but a lot of people have found that they are allergic to them when applied topically, even if they are able to eat them.

Oatmeal is a lovely ingredient to use in face masks and other skin care recipes. Try this one too:

You need:

4 tablespoons of cream cheese

1 tablespoon of finely ground oatmeal

lemon juice

Mix everything together to form a paste and use on a clean face. Leave on for about 15 - 20 minutes.

This is great for making you skin smooth.
