How to Make Skin Care Products At Home

Many women are interested in making their own skin care products from natural ingredients. This is because there's a rising interest in organics. Here's how you join the trend and make natural skin care products at home.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• Almond meal
• Water
• Cheesecloth
• Bottle
• Honey
• Milk
• Olive oil
• Violets
• Orange calendula marigold petal
• Half-and-half
• Pumpkin
• Egg whites
• Peach
• Instant coffee

1. Create an almond milk natural cleanser for oily skin. Combine 2 tsp. almond meal with 5 fl. oz. water, and whip the mixture in a blender for 2 minutes. Strain the whipped mixture through cheesecloth to make it smooth, and store your almond milk cleanser in a bottle. Apply the product to your face and wipe it off with soft tissues daily.
2. Make a honey cleanser, which is appropriate for any skin type. Mix together 1 tsp. honey and 2 tbsp. warm milk. Rub this thin lotion over your face and neck, and massage it with your fingertips. Then, rinse off the cleanser.
3. Wash with an olive oil cleanser by combining 2 tsp. olive oil and 1 tsp. honey. Apply the product to your face and neck, and wash it off.
4. Design a lotion to enhance your complexion. Blend together 2 tbsp. almond meal and 5 fl. oz. water for 2 minutes. Pour the mixture into a non-metal pan, add 24 violet flowers and heat gently. Allow the natural lotion to cool, then strain and bottle it.
5. Use a natural pimple remedy. Take an orange calendula marigold petal and squeeze it between your fingers, causing it to bruise. Hold the bruised petal to your pimple for 2 minutes, and the spot heals overnight.
6. Concoct a conditioning body mask that's suitable for all skin types. Combine the following ingredients in a blender: 2 tbsp. half-and-half, ½ cup chopped pumpkin flesh, 2 tsp. honey, 2 egg whites, ½ a peach (with skin) and 1/8 tsp. instant coffee. Mix on a low-medium setting for 45 seconds, and spread the mask on your skin. Let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse off this skin care product with warm water.
