Here are skin care recipes that will have you glowing from top to toe:

Facial Cleanser

½ cup cornmeal or oatmeal

Plain yogurt (enough to make a paste)

Mix both and apply to skin. Rinse with warm water.

Toner

½ cup lemon juice

2⁄3 cup with hazel

1 cup distilled water

Mix everything together. Pour into a clean container. Shake well before using and apply to skin with a cotton ball.

Moisturizer

5 tbsp aloe gel

1 tbsp pure glycerin

3 to 10 drops essential oil of your choice

Pour in a container and shake well to combine. Massage gently on skin.

Milk Bath

Combine two parts of non-fat powdered milk to one part cornstarch. Add a few drops of essential oil. Use ½ cup per tub. Milk will exfoliate the skin.

Lotion Blocks

With a double boiler, melt equal parts of beeswax, coconut oil and cocoa butter. Pour into small containers and take them out when dry. Place one in your purse and use it whenever skin care is needed. Just rub them on dry skin to moisturize.

Body Mists

Prepare a sterilized spray bottle. Pour distilled water and your favorite essential oil. Skin care should include a touch of fragrance. Spray on for mildly scented skin.

Foot Soak

½ cup white vinegar

5 tbsp Epson salts

1 gallon warm water

Soak your feet in the mixture to soften skin and deodorize.

If you're on a roll and have made a lot more recipes than your skin could use, why don't you try spreading some good old skin care around? Your friends will love it, and so will their skin.
