Beauty Solutions

Lips

Minty Lip Gloss
1 tablespoon petroleum jelly
3 drops peppermint oil
Mix petroleum jelly and peppermint oil. Apply to lips as often as necessary for a minty-fresh lip gloss.


Nails

Cuticle Softener
1 bottle of vitamin E oil
Rub the vitamin E oil on the cuticles of both feet and hands after bath or shower daily and at bedtime.


Skin Cleanser
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 tablespoon sunflower oil
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Great for all skin types. Mix all ingredients together and place in a sealed container. Store in the refrigerator. Use 1 teaspoon morning and night to cleanse face.


Mild Face Scrub
2 tablespoons oatmeal
2 tablespoons cornmeal
2 tablespoons wheat germ
Perfect for exfoliating normal to sensitive skin. Mix all ingredients together and store in an airtight container. Make a paste by adding a splash of warm water to one tablespoon of the mixture. Use once or twice a week.

Serious Face Scrub
1 teaspoon sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon
ideal for dry, flaky skin. While washing face with your regular soap, add the sugar and scrub gently. Splash face with the lemon juice and rinse with cool water. Do at least once a week.

Astringent for Normal Skin
1/4 teaspoon borax powder
3 tablespoon distilled water
3 tablespoon rose water
1 tablespoon vodka
Dissolve the borax powder in the distilled water. Stir well. Add the rose water and vodka. Bottle in a container with a tight lid to prevent the alcohol from evaporating. Apply to clean face with a cotton ball after washing skin.

Toner for Problem Skin
A few drops of tea tree oil
1/4 cup distilled water
The best tonic for combating pimply skin. Mix the tea tree oil and water together and store in a sealed bottle. Shake well before using. Soak a clean cotton ball with the potion and apply to just-cleansed blemished skin. The tea tree oil is both a natural antiseptic and antibiotic. Use after washing skin whenever you have blemishes.


Moisturizer
6 tablespoons jojoba oil
1 tablespoon vitamin E oil
2 tablespoons grated beeswax
1 tablespoon pure aloe vera
2 tablespoons rose water
8 drops sandalwood essential oil
4 drops rose essential oil
In a small bowl, combine jojoba oil, vitamin E oil, and beeswax. Place bowl in a shallow pan of boiling water and heat, stirring occasionally until the beeswax melts. Remove the bowl and allow to cool to room temperature. (The mixture will thicken and become cloudy as it cools.) In a blender or small food processor, combine aloe vera and rose water. Add the cooled oil and blend on high until the mixture becomes thick and cloudy (about two minutes). Add sandalwood and rose essential oils and blend mixture into colored glass jar. Apply a small amount ( a little goes a long way with this skin softener) to face every evening in lieu of your usual moisturizer. For very dry skins, use also in the a.m.


Face Mask for Normal Skin
1 tablespoon whiskey
1 whole egg
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder
juice of 1 lemon
Combine all the ingredients. Keep the mixture in the refrigerator. Spread the compound over the entire face, avoiding eye area. Allow to dry. Remove with a wet wash cloth. Use once a week.

Face Mask for dry skin
Same as above, except use the egg yolk.


Face Mask for oily skin
Same as two above, except use only the egg whites.

My sister is a teenagere with problem skin, and those are two things we have lying around the house :)  I'm gonna have her try it out, cause so far nothing else has worked for her!

Thanks for the ideas! :D Much Love and Hugs!
