DIY skin care? You bet! There are quite a few simple ways to take care of your skin using the ingredients you likely already have at home in your pantry or fridge. Here are a handful of some that are included in my book The Age Fix!
Alpha-Hydroxy Acid Facemask
3 Tbsp orange juice
3 Tbsp apple juice
3/4 cup plain, unsweetened yogurt
Mix the ingredients together until combined. Apply to the face, avoiding the eye area, and let it sit for 20 minutes or until dry. Rinse off with warm water. Save excess in air-tight container and refrigerate.
Sweet Potato Vitamin A Facemask
1 sweet potato
4-5 Tbsp plain, full-fat yogurt
Boil the sweet potato for 30 minutes, or microwave it for 10 minutes. After it cools, remove the skin and mash the potato with the yogurt. Apply the mixture to the face and let it sit for 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Save excess in air-tight container and refrigerate.
Coffee Skin Tightening Scrub
3 Tbsp fresh or used caffeinated coffee grounds
2 Tbsp olive oil
Mix the ingredients to make a thick paste. Gently massage the paste into the skin for a couple of minutes, then let the mixture sit on your skin for five minutes. Gently rinse with warm water.
Pineapple Scrub
1/2 cup of cubed or chopped pineapple
1/4 cup warm water
3 Tbsp corn meal
Puree the pineapple with the water, then add the cornmeal until fully combined. Gently apply the scrub onto the face and lightly massage for a couple of minutes, making sure to avoid the eye area. Rinse with warm water. Save excess in air-tight container and refrigerate.
Apricot Vitamin-A Face Mask
1/2 cup dried apricots
1/2 cup warm water
1 Tbsp raw honey
Blend all of the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth. Spread the mixture on your face and let it sit for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water. Discard any excess.
Try these out at home and and enjoy natural skin care!
