I love skin care products, from Clean and Clear to Burt's Bees. I've tried harsh chemicals and natural products. What seems to give the best results for my skin are home remedies. Plus you save money!
I AM A HOME REMEDY FREAK! A few years back I started to look into natural home remedies for my skin, and I have never looked back! There are home remedies for anything you can imagine, while some might not work, others work like magic! I have selected a few that I would love to share with you guys!
For skin care: You have to make sure you know what skin type you have, this will make choosing the perfect home remedy for you much easier.
OILY SKIN
- MASK: Try giving oatmeal a chance! get oatmeal, a tad of lemon juice and enough olive oil to make these ingredients into a mask. Warm this little miracle up and apply all over the face, including all the oily parts. let it sit till dry and wah-lah! it should of sucked all the oil out of your face. Rinse your face with warm water as well as cold to get those pores sealed shut!
- MASK: This involves eggs! You will need the white of the eggs. Separate the whites and beat them until they turn all nice and foamy, you will then want to add a little bit of lemon juice mix it up and apply a thin coat of this all over your face! Then rinse with warm water and then a nice shock of cold water!
- SCRUB: A scrub can do wonders for oily skin! Mix up honey, brown sugar (or raw sugar) and a little bit of lemon juice and scrub it all throughout your face! Make sure that you don't scrub to hard! Then rinse with warm water and cold water to close your pores
DRY SKIN TO NORMAL SKIN
- SCRUB: This is my favorite! Mix honey,brown sugar, and olive oil. scrub scrub scrub! rinse and then pat dry! The olive oil should leave your face feeling super moisturized!
- MASK: Mix together avocado and honey, to get a nice all over moisturized feel!
EXTRAS!
- EYELASHES: This is such an incredible tip I get to share with you guys! get some pure petroleum jelly, other wise known as VASELINE! put a nice thin layer on your eye lashes, mainly at the roots before you go to bed. In a few weeks you should have thicker and longer lashes!!
- LIPS: if your lips are cracked you shouldn't use this, use olive oil and sugar to scrub away all the dead dry skin from your lips! Not only will they be super soft but look bigger as well!
I really hope you guys gives this a go! Just a little warning before hand, if you have sensitive skin avoid the scrubs, instead try using honey all over or just olive oil if you have dry sensitive skin. PLEASE! Don't use a recipe if you are allergic to an ingredient in it. Try substituting! If you have acne try and softer scrub with cinnamon instead of sugar.
-here's to using home products! XOXO Valentina!
wow! this is fabulous! i'm so proud of you valentina! great blog and advice.

Thanks cyndi! Im glad you liked it! It means a lot! :)
ReplyDeleteThis may be a stupid question but, how often do you recommend using these remedies. I know I've read that some people only recommend using a mask once a week because it can be too harsh on your skin but would it be okay to do it more than just once because of the natural at home ingredients? Same question for the scrubs as well. :)
ReplyDeleteFor any sort of hair remedy you can use up to two a week. but for the face remedies you can you three a week as long as you use different ones.
