Homemade Skincare Products

Skin-care products can benefit all types of skin.

The first thing people see when meeting you is your face. Facial creams, lotions, masks and scrubs can be expensive. However, you don't have to spend a lot of money to have good skin. The ingredients you need to make some simple skin-care products are right in your pantry.

Things You'll Need

• Bowl
• Spoon
• 1 cup oats
• 2 tbsp. honey
• Knife
• Blender
• 1 peach
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp. yogurt

Instructions

Exfoliating Oatmeal Scrub

1. Place 1 cup of uncooked, plain oats in a mixing bowl.

2. Mix 2 tbsp. of honey into the oats to form a thick paste.

3. Apply the mixture onto your face using a circular massaging motion while avoiding the eye area. The scrub, which can be used on all skin types, will remove dead skin cells and promote blood circulation. It also prepares the skin to better absorb any follow-up skin-care products.

4. Wait 15 minutes and allow the scrub to set on your face.

5. Rinse the scrub off your face using lukewarm water.

6. Pat your face with a towel until dry and continue with your normal skin-care routine.

Firming Facial Mask

1. Cut the peach into small pieces and place them in the blender.

2. Remove the egg white from the egg and place it in the blender. You will not need the egg yolk for this recipe.

3. Add 1 tsp. of yogurt to the ingredients in the blender. You want to use full-fat, plain yogurt.

4. Blend all the ingredients until a smooth paste is formed.

5. Apply the mixture to your clean face while avoiding the eye area. The mask, which can be used on all skin types, will help tighten the skin and make it glow.

6. Rinse the face with lukewarm water after 15 minutes.

7. Pat the skin dry and continue with your regular skin-care routine.
