Do you guys have any recipes for at home facials or other skin care at home treatments? That probly sounds stupid but I didn't know what else to call it but recipes. I heard that baking soda and water mixed together is good for a pimple. Is that true?

Yes baking soda mixed with a little water is a great exfolitor, just be careful cause it's a little harsh, I wouldnt use it more than once a week.
Brown sugar and olive oil and/or honey is a great body exfolitor.
Asprin masks for acne. Crush several uncoated asprin into a powder, mix water to make a paste and keep on face until it's dry.
A great treat for your hair is olive oil. (You can also try coconut oil) The longer you leave it in the better. Though you'll have to shampoo several times to remove it all. I made the mistake of shampooing only once and my hair was a greaseball. Though I left it for a couple days and when I finally shampooed it better it was amazingly soft!

Baking soda & water isn't going to do much for a pimple, but it's a pretty good exfoliant. Better home remedies are toothpaste (paste, not gel, it'll help dry it up), or honey (has some antibacterial properties that will help). Milk of magnesium makes a good mask for oily skin, it's great at absorbing oil.

For dry oily dermis,yeah this may occasionally sound gross,however whipped eggs. Just Whip them and positioned them to your face,it hydrates and makes the dermis soft,considering the fact that of the nutrition E within the yoke. -Yogurt and honey is well for dry dermis. Just combine the two in a bowl. Avocados are robust for the dermis as good. If you simply Whip a recent one in a bowl and positioned it to your face,it is exceptional. If you pass on google and simply kind in ''Natural facial recipes'' it'll pull up a number of pages. That's how i learned approximately those i exploit :)

i've heard of using egg whites, just brush it on and let it dry. I've also heard that lemon juice (fresh works best) makes a great toner. As for baking soda. I've heard that making a paste w/baking soda and water helps to reduce swelling (my mom used it on us after a bee sting) I assume it might have the same effect on a pimple.

My favorite "recipe" is greek goddess mask.(1 egg white,1/2 c. lemon juice. mix. apply to face for 15 min. then wash it off and your skin is soft and smooth. Also at barnes and noble they sell a book called "crafty girl beauty things to make and do."

I use natural yogurt mix w/ strawberry for facial mask.
Don't mask w/ strawberry yogurt because it contain more sugar! Your face will be softer and brighter.
baking soda and water mixed together, I have no idea -"-

Eggs is the answer!!!
If you have oily skin, use the egg white
If you have dry skin use the egg yolk.
In both cases you just brush it on(i use a pastry brush) and wait untill it drys or 20 min then rinse it off.
(if you use the white, you can use the yolk in your hair as a conditioner(ones use) just pour in in , massage, wait 2-3min and rinse!
Hope this helps!!!

This is the greatest honey facial mask recipe! It works incredibly well :)

Raw honey works incredibly well because not only is it natural, but it has anti-bacterial properties that works just as good and probably better than any lab-made cream in the market. I Highly recommend honey facial masks.
