Oatmeal

Your Skin Type

For trouble-prone skin, mix oatmeal with water to form a paste.

For normal to oily skin, use an egg white.

For dry skin, use an egg yolk.

In all cases, spread mixture on face and allow to dry. Rinse thoroughly with cool water.

For oily skin, witch hazel makes an inexpensive toner.

For dry skin, you may want to add moisturizer while skin is still damp.

The cheapest and best facial mask I have ever come up with is oatmeal processed to a powder in the blender and either skim milk or if you are trying to fade spots lemon juice. Really works well for me and I have dry skin. Jan

The kind of the mask you want to use depends on your skin type.

For dry skin, try:

· an egg yolk mixed with olive oil and warmed honey

· sour cream

· plain olive oil

· avocado

For oily skin:

· dissolve a teaspoon of baking yeast in a small amount of warm milk, wait until foamy, then apply (best done in the bath tub);

· puree flesh of a tomato and mix with some potato flour to make a paste;

· cucumber (it will whiten your skin);

· beaten egg whites with a few drops of lemon juice (great for getting rid of blackheads);

· carrots (but don't use this one more than about every other week because it can over dry your skin). This one will make you look tanned.

General refreshing masks:

· grapes (just cut a berry in half and rub lightly)

· strawberries (test behind your ear first, because many people are allergic to strawberries used this way even though they can eat them just fine)

· honey and ricotta cheese

Many fruits and vegetables can also be used to good effect. Anything acidic (lemon, strawberries, etc) will tend to whiten and refresh your skin, but you need to be careful if your skin is dry.

In general, don't apply masks more often than about twice a week, and try to vary the ingredients.

It is a good idea to test the mask first. Apply a small amount behind your ear, wait 20 minutes, then wash off. Then wait 24 hours. If the skin behind your ear is normal, then go ahead and use the mask. Marzena

Egg Yolk and Honey

A reader recently asked if anyone had a recipe for homemade facial masks. I often use an egg yolk and honey mask. Just mix one egg yolk with a little honey and spread it on your face and neck. When it dries, rinse it off. Your skin will feel so fresh and soft!

I was almost in tears. I had spent a lot of money to buy a facial masque that claimed to be all natural and would improve my skin. I spent $100.00 on it and it didn’t work. Not at all. I just wasted $100.00! And boy was I mad! Never Again! I told myself. Ever!

Today, there are a wide variety of cosmetics available everywhere you look. You can find them on the shelves in department stores, health food stores, on internet, tv etc. But what to buy? Not every product works well for you and gives you satisfying results.

A lot of cosmetics are labeled "Natural", but they contain artificial ingredients. And the price marked is extremely high, making them impractical or uneconomical to use for the vast majority of people.

Wanting to get the very best results at the most economical price with real true *Natural* materials at home, is something that is applicable to everyone. I knew there had to be a way to do this. Simply and easily.

So I started researching and experimenting. I found the perfect recipe. 100% natural, blending a Traditional Chinese skin care product together with other natural ingredients. It’s not expensive to make. It’s not hard to do. Just follow these 10 simple steps for your own facial care and get amazing results. Remember to tie up your hair before starting.

1. Use both hands to hold warm water, spread the water evenly over your face. Then gently massage your face. Repeat this several times. Let the air dry your face. Do not use a towel.

2. When the water is running off your face and your face is drying naturally, put Vitamin E (oil form) or baby oil on your face.

3. Let the oil (Vitamin E oil or baby oil) seep into your facial skin for five minutes. Then, repeat step one, **except** use a mild soap to clean off the oil from your face.

4. When your face is clean, cup both hands and fill with room temperature tap water. Splash on your face. Do not rub. Let your face air dry. Repeat 3 times.

5. Take 1 egg white (use carefully in case of salmonella) or a similar amount of fresh pure aloe vera juice; 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil; and 1 teaspoon of pure apple juice.

6. Add 1 teaspoon of pure pearl powder to the mixture. Pearl powder has a long history throughout Asia and in Traditional Chinese Medicine for its anti aging properties and for making the skin softer, smoother, and more elastic. It was originally made famous by the Empresses and Emperor’s Concubines renowned for their flawless, soft beautiful skin. Only 100% pure pearl powder works.

Put contents into a clean bowl, and mix them evenly to create your own natural face mask. Once blended, your natural mask is now ready for use.

7. Once you are finished blending the ingredients together, wet 2 clean cotton balls, or you can use 2 pieces of fresh cut cucumber. Set them aside for later use.

8. Dip both hands into your natural facial mask and apply the mask to your skin.

[ note: The best method to use to apply the mask is to start from your chin and apply bottom to top inside to outside] making sure to skip the eyes and mouth area.

For the nose area, apply the mask solution from the upper part of the nose to lower part following the nose line.

9. Now it is time to relax. Go ahead; lay down on your back with your face up. Put a towel under your head to catch any of the mask than runs.

Cover your eyes with cucumber or the wet cotton balls.

10. Wait 15 minutes to 1/2 hour. Make sure the mask is entirely dry.

Once you are sure the mask is dry, cup both hands to hold warm water, spread the water evenly over your face. Then gently massage your face. Repeat this several times. Let the air dry your face. Do not use a towel.

Try this and you will find that your face will feel very fresh and look younger. Do this twice a week, and you can have a much younger looking face all the time.
