3;Refreshing Fruit Facials





Facial Mask with banana, honey.


1 ripe ripe Banana


1 T Honey


1/2 teaspoon Jojoba oil


1 T Yogurt


1 egg white


1 T Kaolin (white) clay











In a small mixing bowl, whisk the egg white, then blend in the Yogurt, Jojoba oil, Honey and then the Kaolin clay until it becomes a smooth creamy mixture. In a separate bowl, mash up the banana until it is smooth, then blend into the first mixture.





The best way to use this masque is while sitting in the tub because it is a bit messy. Apply to the entire face, neck and shoulder area. As it sits, keep applying more while you build the masque up as well as massage it in. Let sit for at least 10-15 minutes and then remove with a warm washcloth. Finish with a tonic or hydrosol on a cotton ball to remove any excess product from the skin, then moisturize as usual.





This is a wonderful softening and firming treatment


3;APPLE MASK FOR NORMAL SKIN


1 Apple, cored %26amp; quartered


2 T Honey


Drop the apple pieces into a food processor and chop. Add honey and refrigerate for 10 minutes. Pat the mixture onto your face with a light tapping motion, tapping until the honey feels tacky. Leave it on for 30 minutes and then rinse.





4;STRAWBERRY DRAWING MASK


1/2 c Strawberries, very ripe


1/4 c Cornstarch


Mix strawberries and cornstarch together to make a paste and apply it to your face, avoiding the delicate area around your eyes. Leave it on for 30 minutes and then rinse it off with cool water.





5;BLEMISHED SKIN MASK


1 Tomato, ripe, chopped


1 tsp Lemon juice


1 T Instant style oatmeal or old-fashioned rolled oats


Blend everything until just combined. Apply to skin, making sure the mixture is thick enough to stay on blemished areas: cheeks, forehead, or chin. If necessary, add a bit more oatmeal to thicken the mask. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then scrub it off with a clean washcloth dipped in warm water





6;Orange Mask


For this you need half a cup oatmeal, juice of half an orange, glycerine and a little egg white to make a paste.


Beat the egg white and then add the oatmeal and juice to it.The glycerine is to moisturise the skin.The egg white gets rid of wrinkles and the orange is just to feed the skin.With this mask, open pores and greasy complexions are miraculously rejuvenated.Normal skins can also be treated with these masks.





7;Cucumber and Honey as Toner.


1 medium Cucumber, peeled and cut up into pieces


2 tsp. Honey


Puree cucumber in a blender. Line a sieve with cheesecloth and set the sieve over a glass bowl or measuring cup. Pour the cucumber puree through the sieve and let it stand for 15 minutes for the juices to drip into the bowl. Pour the clear juice into a clean bottle and add honey.


To use, shake the bottle and saturate a cotton pad with the lotion. Sweep over face, neck and chest morning and night, and let it air dry (about 3 to 4 minutes). Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Makes about 1/2 cup.

For the Face: Plain yogurt makes a good, soothing mask. You can add some ground oatmeal for a little extra exfoliation and honey for a little moisture.

Or you can crush up 6 plain, uncoated aspirin tablets and mix it w/ a little water to make mask.

Milk of Magnesia - apply in thin layer where needed %26amp; allow to dry 5-10 mins. Will absorb oil %26amp; tighten pores.

Mix half a teaspoon of crushed tablets with Queen Helene Mint Julep mask and aloe vera gel.





Held 6 aspirin in palm, and slowly dripp water onto them until they fizzled and dissolved! Once dissolved, add 2-3 drops of honey into it and mixed it around with my finger. Apply to face. Keep it on 15-20 mins.

Use about 6 uncoated tablets, witch hazel, tee trea oil, and aloe to make a thin paste.

You can use olive oil or vitamin E oil to moisturize your nails %26amp; cuticles.





You can make a paste of white sugar or Epsom salts mixed with olive oil to make a body scrub.

Bananna and honey, plain flavored yogurt, and sugar and honey. CAUTION! Rinse your face well after the sugar mask, or it will create pimples.
