DIY:Facial Products

Beauty products these days are expensive, especially if you want something that works. I also no not all home made beauty products are cheap and call for stuff I don't even know where to get it at. So I have searched and found some DIY facial products that work and are actually cheap! You can use these on yourself or have a spa day with some friends and have everyone bring the ingredients to make their own. That way you can all try out different products, but only pay to make one. It'll be a lot of fun and would work great for a bridal shower/bachelorette party, birthday party, or just a girls night in!

Basic dry skin remedy
   2 tablespoons of real mayo or the mayo made with olive oil
   1 teaspoon of baby oil
   Combine the ingredients
   Put on to face, neck, rough elbows, and knees.
   Leave on for 20 minutes
   Rinse with tepid water ( 2 parts cold water and 1 part boiling water)

For tightening and toning
   1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice
   1 egg white
   Beat together for 3 minutes
   Put on face avoiding eyes
   Leave on for 30 minutes
   Rinse with warm water

Revitalizing mask
   1/2 cup chopped cucumber
   1/2 cup avocado
   1 egg white
   2 teaspoons powdered milk
   Combine all ingredients in a blender
   Apply to face and neck in an upward motion
   Leave on for 30 minutes or until dry
   Rinse with warm water and end with a splash of cold

Peach Firming Mask
   1 ripe peach - pealed and mashed
   1 egg white
   Whip together in blender until smooth
   Pat on face and neck
   Leave on for 30 minutes
   Rinse with cool water

Banana and honey mask
   1 Banana
   1/2 cup honey
   Mash the banana and honey together
   Pat on face
   Leave on for 10 minutes
   Rinse with warm water

Eye moisturizer
   1 teaspoon Vitamin E oil
   2 tablespoons Vaseline
   Mix together and apply around the eyes
   Can store in a small zip lock bag, small air tight storage container, or even an old moisturizer container.

Teeth Whitener #1
   1 strawberry
   A little baking soda
   Mix together and brush teeth with mixture

Teeth whitener #2
   1 teaspoon baking soda
   1 teaspoon salt
   Mix together and brush teeth with mixture

Lip balm
   5 - 6 grams of beeswax grated, about a teaspoon or so
   1 teaspoon of Shea butter
   6 ml of Castor oil
   6 ml of almond oil
   5 drops of vitamin E
   Melt the beeswax,(I think the best way is to use a glass measuring cup inside a pan of boiling water), add in remaining and mix together and put into small container. If you want a little color, use an old lipstick or gloss.
   I do understand this one is a little more extensive than the others, but it's all natural and great for your lips. You should find most of the ingredients at a health food store!

I hope you have fun with all of my DIY products for your face, let me know which ones work the best for you and if you have any of your own economical DIY beauty secrets.
