Five Natural Ingredients for Amazing Skin!
Written by Four Green Steps.com
You don't have to spend extravagant amounts of money to have gorgeous skin. Use these five natural ingredients that you probably have in your pantry!
Honey: For a simple skin lotion, mix one teaspoon honey, one teaspoon vegetable oil, and ¼ teaspoon lemon juice, rub on dry skin, and rinse off after ten minutes.
Sugar: The glycolic acid in sugar serves as an exfoliant while giving skin a healthy glow. Make a body's worth of sugar scrub by combining ½ cup sugar, two tablespoons of cream or whole milk, five drops of orange oil and one cup of olive oil. Leave on for 10-15 minutes and then rinse off.
Olive Oil: The vitamin E and antioxidants in olive oil are great for providing moisture. Soak your nails in a cup for a shiny, at-home manicure; apply it to your hair, leave on half an hour and then shampoo for gleaming locks; or rub it onto hands and feet for soft skin.
Eggs: The protein in eggs is especially good for your hair. Add one to one ounce olive oil, one tablespoon lemon juice, and ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar for an easy shampoo-or combine one teaspoon of baby oil, one egg yolk, and one cup water for a quick conditioner.
Applesauce: Apple sauce tastes delicious but it is also great for healthy skin. Take 1 tablespoon of wheat germ and 1 table spoon of applesauce. Purée apple in a blender or add applesauce to a small bowl. Mix in the wheat germ to form a paste. Apply to washed, scrubbed, and steamed face. Allow mask to set for 10-15 minutes. Tone then moisturize.
