Many commercial skin care products have very few beneficial ingredients. These products also contain harmful ingredients. These harmful ingredients can actually reduce the benefits of these products. Making your own skin-care products can help you maintain quality control and save money.

Take Note

  • Mineral oil can dry the skin and is not what you want. Mineral oil coats the skin, preventing it from “breathability”. It’s similar to putting a plastic cover on your skin. Mineral oil prevents Vitamin D absorption and prevents skin toxins from being released through sweat.
  • Dioxane, a synthetic coconut derivative, has been shown to cause cancer.
  • Fragrances have also been shown to be problematic.
  • Parabens, which are used to preserve foods, have been linked to problems in the endocrine systems.
  • Alcohols can dry and irritate the skin. They also strip the skin’s protective acids mantle, making it more vulnerable to bacteria, mold, and viruses.

Makeup remover

  • Avoid using soap and water as they can dry out the skin and leave a soapy residue. Instead, mix 2 to 3 tablespoons warm milk with 1/2 teaspoon castor oil. Use a cotton ball to apply the solution in upward or outward strokes. This is supposed to be more effective than regular soap and water at removing dirt and grime.
  • To seal in moisture, you can finish the routine by applying a thin coating of castor oil on your face. Castor oil should be purchased from a health food shop to ensure that it is a cold-pressed virgin grade.

Beauty Mask

Puree 1/2 cup of fresh pineapple and 1/2 cup of fresh papaya. Mix the mixture in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons honey to it. Apply the mixture to your freshly washed neck and face. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, then rinse off with cool water. You’ve just received an alpha-hydroxy facial.

Your face will be firmer thanks to collagen production by the papain enzymes and bromelain enzymes found in pineapple. This mask removes dead skin cells, evens skin tone, and makes lines less obvious. Honey moisturizes the skin. This mask can be used once a week, but it is not necessary.

Avocado Treatment

Use the inside of an avocado to massage your freshly cleaned skin and neck in gentle upwards and outwards strokes. This is a great treatment for dry skin.

ACV Remeiner

Mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with 1 tablespoon boiled water to restore the acid mantle on your skin. Let the mixture cool down before using cotton balls. You want to avoid the eye area. This mixture can be left on for approximately 10 minutes. This treatment can be used every other day. It is very refreshing, but a little bit sour!

Conclusion

These recipes were found in an old Bottom Line book. I find them very effective. I think I have a rule for what I put on my skin. If I feel safe eating an ingredient, it’s okay to put it on my face. If it’s not, I won’t. Remember that your skin is your largest organ. You must support it so it can support yourself.
