Recipes for Your Face
Keep your face clean, soft, and baby-smooth with these quick and easy
facial recipes. You`ll find that most of the ingredients are already in your
pantry!
Milk Wash
For dry or sensitive skin, this recipe can`t be beat. Make a thin paste out
of skim milk powder and water and wash your face with this mixture instead of
soap. Rinse well and apply Herbal Milk Toner.
Honey
Purifying Scrub
Mix 1 tbsp. of honey with 2 tbsp. finely ground almonds and 1/2 tsp. lemon
juice. Massage gently onto face and rinse well with warm water. Apply toner.
Herbal Milk
Toner
This is a terrific toner for sensitive, sunburned or chapped skin. Combine
2 tbsp. dried or 1 tbsp. fresh chopped herbs (we recommend lavender,
calendula, lemon balm, or mallow) and 2/3 cup boiling milk into a bowl or
pitcher. Cover and leave until cool. Strain through muslin or cheesecloth and
store in a sterilized bottle or jar in the refrigerator.
Mint Skin Toner
To create a refreshing skin toner that will hydrate and clean your pores,
mix 1 cup witch hazel, 1/4 cup white vinegar and 1/4 tsp. mint extract. For
good measure, drop in a couple of fresh peppermint leaves. Dab on your face
with a cotton ball and apply moisturizer.
Rosy Skin
Toner Recipe
For a rosy glow that lasts all day, combine 1/2 cups witch hazel, 1/2 cup
dried rose petals, and 5 sprigs of rosemary. Mix ingredients until blended
well, then strain with cheesecloth or muslin. Splash onto skin or dab with a
cotton ball and apply moisturizer.
Frankincense
Facial Mist
A favorite to erase wrinkles is made with ten drops frankincense in 4 oz.
of water. Pour into a mister and spray onto skin throughout the day.
Anti-Wrinkle
Honey Rose Lotion
Mix 2 tbsp. glycerine, 2 tbsp. rosewater, 2 tbsp. witchhazel, and 4 tbsp.
honey in a small jar. Refrigerate: apply nightly to a clean, dry face after
toner.
Soft Skin
Lotion Recipe
Steep 1 cup dried chamomile in 1 cup milk for 2-3 hours. Strain, keeping
liquid, and add 4 tbsp. honey and 8 tsp. wheat germ. Blend, pour into a bottle
and refrigerate (keeps up to a week). Apply to clean face after toner.
