Homemade Recipes For Skin Care

Home made recipes are the alternative to skin care products.
Not only are they completely natural, but it won't cost the
earth. Most of this skin care recipes can be done from the
comfort of your own home, mainly with ingredients that we
already have in our kitchen.

The only inconvenience about homemade recipes for skin care, is
that any leftovers can be kept in the fridge for no longer than
twenty four hours, so try to make only the necessary amount and
you will be saving some money.

Here is a selection of homemade recipes for skin care

1- Avocado skin care mask

Avocados are very rich in vitamin e and c, protecting cells
from external factors. Mix half ripe avocado with a spoon of
olive oil. Apply it over a clean face, leave it on for twenty
five minutes and rinse off with warm water.

2- Lemon juice exfoliator

Lemons are rich in vitamin c, which is a potent antioxidant.
Mix one spoon of sugar with some lemon juice. Rub it gently over
the face, avoiding the eye area. Cleanse with warm water. Don't
use if you have sensitive areas on your skin.

3- Grapes to diminish sunspots

Grapes contain up to twenty antioxidants, and are a good source
of vitamins and minerals. To diminish sunspots, rub half grape
over the skin, before bedtime. Rinse off with warm water the
next day. Use sunblock with at least SPF 15 every day.

4- Tomato skin care mask.

Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, which are antioxidant red
pigments that helps to prevent some forms of cancer. They are
also a good source of vitamin c and alpha-lipoic-acid. Mix a
mashed ripe tomato with two teaspoons of natural yogurt. Apply
it over the face, and leave it on for twenty five minutes. Rinse

5- Strawberry cleansing milk.

Strawberries are very rich in vitamin c and ellagiac acid,
which helps to activate the body's natural defences. Put in the
mixer some strawberries with a little bit of milk. Cleanse your
face with this mixture and a cotton. Throw away any remaining
product.

6- Carrot rejuvenating mask.

This is another great homemade recipe for skin care, that will
rejuvenate the skin. Carrots are rich in carotenoids, which give
them their orange colour. Boil two carrots, mash them and add
one spoon of honey. Use the carrots while they are still warm.

Hey Dion,

Easy to make and wonderful effective home made recipes for skin care...thank you for sharing and introducing a lovely website too ...

I would like to add one more home made remedy for dandruff...The best dandruff home remedy using household products is curd and lemon paste.

For this, take some quantity of curd (depending on the scalp) and add lemon juice (half or one lemon depending on the length of your hair) to it.

Apply this mixture evenly on the scalp and hair. Allow this for more than half an hour and rinse with a mild shampoo. Repeat this for good results.
