   I aint quadrupling the ingrediants for you. Do it your self!
   You know that your skin needs a little TLC, but unfortunately, you have run out of your favorite mask, so what can you do? Wait another week until you can stock up? Actually, you probably have the makings of a good mask right in your kitchen.

   *Oatmeal Scrub for Pennies

   Add just enough warm water to loose oatmeal to form a paste and then massage into your skin for a quick exfoliating facial. Rinse off and your skin will be soft and free of those nasty dead skin cells that results in muddy looking skin.

   *Your Face Will Love It

   Time for a smoothie… a facial smoothie. Every kitchen should have a container of plain yogurt. It can be used in place of sour cream in most food recipes, saving you tons of calories, but for this particular recipe, you aren’t going to eat it, you are going to wear it.
   Blend 3 tablespoons of yogurt and 3 large strawberries, apply it and then relax for 10 minutes. The yogurt cleans and nourishes and the strawberries helps exfoliate those dead skin cells. Now isn’t this a good reason to plant yourself a strawberry plant next spring?

   Summer Fruit Facial

   -strawberries
   -fresh nectarine
   -fresh papaya
   -1 egg white
   -1/2 an English cucumber

   Puree all in a blender, apply to face and relax with a good book for 15 minutes. If there is any stinging sensation, remove the mask immediately. This reaction will allert you to the fact that you have a sensitivity to one of the ingredients.

   Homemade Face Mask for Oily Skin
   The juices in strawberries & lemon contain natural astringents.
   1 tsp lemon juice (have a real lemon? Include a teaspoon of the lemon pulp)
   2 egg white
   2 tsp honey
   1 cup strawberries
   4 drops eucalyptus oil or jojoba oil (optional)
   Blend the above ingredients, apply and leave on for10 minutes. Rinse. Recipe works for 2 people, so invite a friend, or cut recipe in half for just you.

   Homemade Clay Mask for Normal Skin
   Clay masks are hydrating while toning your skin.
   You can pick up clay from any health-food store.
   A basic fuller’s earth clay (if skin is sensitive, try a green clay)
   1 tsp honey
   water (for a richer mask, substitute whole milk)
   your favorite essential oil (lavender, rose, geranium)
   Mix 2 parts water to 1 part clay, mixing in a bit of honey. Add more water if clay is too dry. Add a few drops of the oil. Keep mask on for 15 minutes. Rinse off with a warm washcloth.
   Homemade Face Mask for Dry Skin
   Avocados and honey are particularly moisturizing.
   ½ avocado (you can also substitute 2 teaspoons avocado oil)
   ¼ cup honey
   Mash these together. Apply to skin and leave for 5-10 minutes. Rinse with a washcloth drenched in cool water.

   Homemade Face Mask for Combination Skin
   A rose-based mask is perfect for balancing out the oily and dry areas of your skin.
   6 rose petals
   2 tbsps rosewater
   1 tbsp natural yogurt (go for full-fat & skip the flavored ones)
   1 tbsp naturally runny honey (you can warm honey in a microwave for 8 seconds to get it runny. Plus, we find the warmth is particularly soothing for this mask).
   Soak rose petals, then crush them in a bowl. Add the rosewater, yogurt and honey.
   Don’t have the rose petals? No problem. Mix well & apply to the skin. Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse.

   Homemade Face Mask for Sensitive Skin
   This soothing mask is great for chapped, sunburned or irritated skin.
   1 cup natural yogurt (we like it just-out-of-the-fridge cold)
   ½ cup oatmeal (any type of basic oatmeal works here)
   Mix the ingredients together & apply to the skin for 15 minutes. Wash off mask with a warm washcloth. Extra tip: This mask works well for other skin types as well. For oily skin, add a couple drops of lime juice. For dry skin, mix in a couple tablespoons of honey.

   Homemade Face Mask for Aging Skin
   See ‘Is Your Skin Prematurely Aging’ to find out if your skin fits this category. This mask works well for maturing skin, since sugar is a natural exfoliant and will help soften the lines your skin creates as it ages.
   3 tbsp sugar
   4 tbsp warm water
   Melt sugar in warm water. Make sure granules are dissolved, otherwise they may tear your skin. Apply to the face and leave for 5 minutes. Gently massage around the skin. Rinse.

   Honey Mask Recipe

   The best facial mask is honey. Place a cloth in warm water and apply to your face to open the pores. Smear on honey, and leave on for 15 to 30 minutes. Rinse off with warm water, then use cold water to close the pores. Use once a week.

   Miracle Whip Exfoliator

   (By Victoria, Anti-aging Beauty Tips)

   “Yes, I am talking about the same Miracle Whip your Aunt Mable uses in her macaroni salad. Apparently, women all over the US are using this salad dressing ingredient on their faces to remove dead flaky skin.

   I have not tried it myself, but supposedly, KRAFT MIRACLE WHIP Exfoliating Facial makes an amazing treatment for normalizing over-oily skin.

   Here is how you apply this “miracle cream”:

   Make sure all your hair is pulled back from your face. Apply a thin layer of the KMW all over your face, up to the eyelashes and make sure to also put some on your neck. The “fumes” from the vinegar may bother you so walk around the house to try to escape them. LOL!

   Leave on for 10 minutes, then massage gently. The dead skin cells on your face will roll off in rubbery little balls. Rinse your skin with tepid water, then cleanse as usual following your regular beauty regime. If you apply the KMW every day, in 6-8 weeks your skin should be completely renewed.

   I cannot help but wonder if this Miracle Whip eats away at the dead skin cells on your face, what does it do to the inside of the body when someone eats it?? Pretty scary!!! One person believes that the vinegar in the Miracle Whip is what causes the exfoliation and rejuvenation. If that is true, why not try a mixture of organic apple cider vinegar with some olive oil, apply that and see what happens? One could whip together the olive oil and apple cider vinegar, apply it to their face and then use the leftovers on their salad!

   I think I will start experimenting with some ingredients and try to come up with a facial recipe to rival the KRAFT MIRACLE WHIP!”

   Special Note from Lucie (site owner):

   “After reading Victoria’s email about the Miracle Whip beauty trick (the above is an excerpt from that email), I bought a small jar of Miracle Whip. I applied a slighter thicker layer than was recommended and the vinegar smell was unpleasantly strong.

   After a minute or two, the Miracle Whip ‘melted’ and my face was very shiny and oily (yuck!). After 10 minutes, I washed the Whip away and I couldn’t believe the results. All the flaky dry skin was gone and my skin felt tight and smooth. Very strange!”
