"These Natural Skin Care Recipes
are so easy to make...Great Ideas!"

Making quality natural skin care recipes requires quality ingredients. Everything from carrots, apples, strawberries, bananas, peaches, walnuts, oats and honey can be used to make your very own, hand made skin care recipes.

You too can create your own natural skin quenching lotions, moisturizers and toners.

These recipes are simple in technique, quick to make and since you are making them, you'll enjoy the freshness of the ingredients that commercial products can't offer.

Natural Skin Care Recipes for Facial Cleansers:

Oatmeal & Yogurt
1/2 cup oatmeal or cornmeal
plain yogurt (add enough yogurt to form a paste)

Avocado Facial Cleanser
1 egg yolk
1/2 cup milk
1 avocado
Beat the yolk of an egg until it is light and frothy, add a half cup of milk and the mashed half of a ripe peeled avocado. A blender is handy here, but if you don't have one, beat the mixture with a fork until you have a thin cream or lotion-like consistency. Apply on squares of cotton as you would any other cleanser. Rinse.
