How to Make a Homemade Skin Care Line
-
1
Make a facial cleanser with honey.
Stir 1/2 cup of honey with 2 tablespoons of mild liquid soap, and pour into a clean container. Honey is high in potassium, which clarifies the skin by killing bacteria that causes blemishes and blackheads. -
2
Take a teaspoon of sugar and add a few drops of water to create an exfoliating facial scrub. Sugar is abrasive, yet gentle for even sensitive skin. It has cleansing capabilities and loosens dead skin cells and blackheads so they can be rinsed away.

Mash 1/4 of an avocado and 1/4 of a banana to use as a facial mask. Avocados are rich in skin nourishing vitamins such as A and B as well as protein, and bananas are full of potassium and natural oils that give the skin a healthy and natural glow. Leave on your face for 20 minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water.

Tone skin by making an apple juice skin freshener.
Combine 2 tablespoons of witch hazel and 1/2 cup of apple juice. Apply with a cotton ball. Apples give the skin a youthful glow while the witch hazel tightens the skin and refines the pores. -
5
For an intensive moisturizing night treatment, combine 1 teaspoon of Vitamin E oil with 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Olive oil is clarifying and moisturizing, and Vitamin E oil repairs skin while reversing free radical damage from the environment.

Tips & Warnings
All of these ingredients work with all skin types. Use the cleanser, toner and moisturizer every day. Use the scrub and mask twice a week. Keep homemade skin care products refrigerated. Only make enough mask for one use. If any is left cover, use the next day or throw it out.
Avoid contact with eyes. If anything smells rancid, discard it and make a new batch.
