Beauty Recipes For Your Face |

I have found the following beauty recipes which are designed for you to make and use at home. Using natural ingredients will give you clear, radiant skin. I hope you like them

 ALMOND FACIAL MILK

The herbal waters are antiseptic and toning. Grapefruit seed extract is available in health food stores, and is included in the recipe as a preservative.

1/2 cup rose, lavender, or distilled water
1 teaspoon pure vegetable glycerin
1/4 to 1 teaspoon cold pressed organic almond oil
12 drops grapefruit seed extract

Make the rose or lavender water by placing a small handful of dried organic rose petals or lavender in a pint mason jar and adding boiling water to cover. Let steep overnight, then thoroughly strain. Combine the remaining ingredients in a glass jar and shake to blend. Dab some on your fingers or a cotton ball and massage into your skin. Rinse with warm water. Keep stored in the refrigerator for no more than a month or so. Discard at the first sign of mold.

ALMOND-MAYONNAISE SCRUB Dry Skin Exfoliator

1/4 C. almonds1/8 tsp. mayonnaiseGrind almonds in blender until they form fine almond meal. Whirl in mayonnaise.Gentle rub scrub onto your face, and leave in place 10 minutes. Rinse. Use a toner thereafter.Shelf Life: Refrigerate for 2-3 weeks.

Apple Face & Neck Gelee

Yield: Approx. 2 applications

Ingredients:

4 teaspoons hot distilled water1 teaspoon freshly juiced apple juice1 teaspoon aloe vera gel4 teaspoons vegetable glycerin1 heaping teaspoon powdered pectinAdd the glycerin to the water/juice/gel combination and stir to fully incorporate.Add the pectin while the liquid remains quite warm (if it cools, place it in the microwave or a double boiler to raise the temperature) and use a hand held electric mixer to blend, or stir vigorously to dissolve the pectin. Once the pectin has fully dissolved, a light gel will begin to form.This may take from 15 minutes to 1/2 hour. Once the gel sets, Apple Face & Neck Gelee is ready to use. Apply the gel in a layer to your clean, damp face and neck. Rest for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water and follow with a light moisturizer if desired. Leftover product can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week. Enjoy!! The shelf life of this product is necessarily limited by the fresh apple juice. It should be used within a few days after it is made.

 Apple Cucumber Facial Mask

1/2 cucumber, peeled1 egg white1/2 teaspoon lemon juice1/2 teaspoon lime juice1/2 teaspoon apple mint leaves1 drop lime essential oil

Combine all 5 ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Add the essential oil last and mix well. Refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes.

Apply a layer to your clean face and neck area and leave it on for 20 minutes. Rinse well with warm water. Apple Cucumber Facial Mask is best when used immediately as the ingredients are perishable. The leftovers can be refrigerated in the coldest section of the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days but should be discarded after that

Apple-Pear Anti  Wrinkle Cream

Using a cotton ball, dab mixture on areas around the eyes and wherever wrinkles have developed. Let dry, then rinse with warm water. Use no more than 3 times a week. Follow with a moisturizer. Cover and refrigerate immediately.Shelf life: 4 days.

APPLE SKIN TONER

Intended for slightly oily skins, we're told by our skincare team that Apple Toneris an excellent substitute for rubbing alcohol (a real no-no, as it actually stimulates the oil glands to produce more oil).

Combine 2/3 cup witch hazel, 1/3 cup of apple cider vinegar, and several drops of Lavender Essential Oil (or essential oil of your choice). Mix, and add to clean bottle. Shake bottle well before using, and then dampen a cotton ball or pad saturated with your toner, and swab over face. Witch hazel is a gentle astringent, apple cider vinegar will help restore your skin's natural ph balance, and lavender soothes sensitive skin.
