Answer 1

Blemishes On Face?
Grate an apple and apply it as a face mask daily for a week.
Blemishes shall fade away naturally!

Soft & Clear Skin
Take a Papaya and rub all over skin.
This has cleansing enzymes which will leave skin soft and squeaky clean.

Healthy Glowing Youthful Skin
Massage your face, daily, with a combination of fresh cream, lemon juice and honey.
Then do a five-minute scrub of powdered almonds, walnuts and honey mixed with a little fresh cream milk.

Clean and Clear Skin
Take 30-40 Neem leaves and boil in one litre of water until the liquid turns to half.
Drink three-four tablespoons of this syrup daily.

Glowing Skin!
Take 1/2 tablspoon of turmeric powder, 5 tablespoons of sandalwood powder, 1 tablespoon of almond oil and mix with milk.
Apply on face, neck and the back. Let it dry for 15-20 minutes and wash off.

Under-eye Dark Circles!
Mix 2 teaspoons Mint paste with half a cup of Milk.
Freeze to make ice cubes.
Rub daily on the eyes area.

Puffy Eyes!
Use ice cold tea bags as cold compressions to reduce under-eye bags and puffiness.

Honey For Healthy Eyes!
Honey has been used in India for centuries as an ingredient for medicines. The next time consider applying it to your eyes instead of ingesting it.
It's helpful in curing eye ailments like itching of the eyes and conjunctivitis. In fact, regular intake and external application is said to prevent glaucoma in the initial stages of the disease.

Dark Circles!
To lighten dark circles under your eyes, wrap a grated raw Potato in Cheesecloth and apply to eyelids for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm water

Home-made Lip Gloss
Mix one teaspoon Glycerine with half teaspoon Almond Oil.
Glide over your lips for a natural shine!

Face Pack
Take white flour, mix crushed peppermints and lemon juice. Blend them together. Let it set for about an hour, so it will get thick.
Spread a layer on your face that not too thin and not too thick.
Let that set for 10 minutes, then wash your face with warm water.
After that wet a peice of cloth, that is a little bigger than your face, with cold water. Put it on your face for 1 minute. Then pat your face dry.

Answer 2

Saw this from TV. In a 1/2 cup of water put 4 table spoon of brown sugar until its quite thick. Use is as mud pack into your face for 5 minutes and then wash as usual.

Answer 3

Lemon juice helps w/ blemishes and grated cucumber helps as a refreshing face wash and moisterizer. I once tried a teaspoon of ground nutmeg with a splash of milk, mixed together, and dabbed all over my face. When I washed it off my face was silky smooth! It might not work for everyone, but it works for my skin type. I don't really have sensitive skin and my complexion is caramel.

Answer 4

Well I got these two things from Glamour Mag. that really works for me. This is supposed to clear up your skin and help it breathe easier. All you have to do is crunch up like 5 of 6 tablets of asprin and put some water in it and put it on your face till it dries up and then wash it off. For blemishes and pimples and stuff use a mixture of yeast and lemon juice. I use these two treatments often and they work wonderfully!

Answer 5

While I can't provide any lotion ideas, I have often read about using an oatmeal paste to help remove blemishes from a woman's skin.

Answer 6

Not a lot. Get a PedEgg off the local market, about 3.0 pounds and worth every single penny! And cream those feet every night with a good handcream.

Answer 7

hey try this. its really simple, economical and safe:

face cleanser - Cold, plain yogurt
- lather some on ur face and scrub, then rinse off.

toner - rose water (1 cup) mix with apple cider vinegar (one tbsp)
- keep in the fridge

moisturizer - aloe vera gel (sorry, u have to buy this one but its cheap)

face scrub - oatmeal or used tea leaves

body scrub - sugar/salt mix with vanilla flavouring and vegetable oil

skin whitening (elbows+knees) - lemon (scrub on the area) .

I dont have elaborate recipes, i believe u can find them on the net but these are things that u can use immediately and its simple :)

Answer 8

Using a small amount of pure olive oil on your skin will keep it hydrated ... use it on your arms, legs etc and if you want, a very small amount on your face will keep it fresh and glowing!

Answer 9

Olive oil is great mosturiser, but i wouldnt put it on ur face, or go out in the sun with it on :-)

Answer 10

i'm sure there are lots of things to make - my friend's aunt makes soaps of all kinds but her most popular soap has oatmeal in it. oatmeal is good for the skin. i heard milk is too.

try to include milk and oatmeal if you can.

good luck.
