Solutions for 3 common skin care problems

[Guest guest]

DRY AND/OR SENSITIVE SKIN

Dry and/or sensitive skin will benefit from:

Bananas. Mash a whole banana and apply. Leave on for no

more than 5 or 10 minutes, then rinse off completely.

Be careful. Don't slip on the peel!

Bees, bears, and slices of warm bread aren't the only

ones who appreciate honey. Honey is also great for dry

skin. A tablespoon of honey, a lightly beaten egg white

and a teaspoon of glycerin, mixed together with finely

ground oatmeal to make a paste, is a great moisturizer.

Apply, rinse off thoroughly after about 20 minutes.

Half a cup of canned coconut milk, warmed until runny

and then mixed with two tablespoons of honey, smells

like summer on the beach. Massage the mixture into your

skin and rinse off after about 10 minutes.

Honey is also believed to be a natural antiseptic.

Useful if you have any pimples or cuts on your skin.

 

 

OILY SKIN

A good skin toner can be made out of one teaspoon of

cider vinegar and two tablespoons of water. The cider

vinegar does smell rather strong, though.

Tomatoes are beneficial for oily skin because they

contain natural exfoliants and acids. Skin a ripe

tomato and puree briefly, then apply, washing off after

15 minutes. (It's a bit difficult to get it to stay on

the face, though, because it tends to slide off).

Some raw oatmeal, mixed with half a cup of lemon juice

and a lightly beaten egg white to make a paste, does

wonders for oily skin. Rinse off once the paste has

fully dried out.

Oily skins can be balanced out with strawberries. Crush

a handful of strawberries and apply for five minutes.

Like tomatoes, you'll find it a little difficult to

keep on the face.

Honey is not just good for dry skins. A mixture of a

pureed ripe peach and a teaspoon of honey is great for

oily skins, too. Rinse off after five minutes.
