love love the aspirin mask! i get acne during that time of the month and this always gets rid of them fastü i usually mix the powdered aspirin in cetaphil though.

Thanks everyone! I think I'm gonna try the aspirin mask tonight... I wanna try the strawberry tooth whitener, but since I live in New Zealand strawberries are out of season... I'll have to wait till our summer, when our garden is filled with strawberries... But thanks!

Regarding the "PuffyEyes" if you use Green Tea bags the delicate skin under your eyes seems to tighten as well!!!

[magosienne]

that's interesting, but i find green tea bags just gross.

i found this recipe in a natural cosmetics book (so expensive btw, too bad) :

face scrub :
2 tbsp yogurt
2tbsp almond powder
2 teaspoons honey
2 drops of your EO depending on your skintype (optional)

mix the ingredients and apply on your face. let sit for 10 minutes, then scrub in gentle circles with your fingertips. rinse, tone, hydrate as you would normally do.

i'm gonna try this right now !

Oh my goodness! Do I love this thread? Yes, yes, yes! I JUST found this thread today and I broke out my handheld and started typing so much of this stuff into it...ingredients, procedure, etc. I sure hope this stuff works for me. I'm going shopping for items tomorrow and plan to try at least one of these things this weekend. I think my first choice is the aspirin mask. I want my acne gone like yesterday!

Thanks to you all for such an awesome thread. I will keep checking back for more.

Here's one that i found, hope it hasnt been posted before:

Normal Skin - Day Moisturiser

Blend together 30ml Sweet Almond oil, 15 drops of rose, 5 drops of Chamomile Blue, 5 drops of Lavender and 5 drops of Lemon oil.
Apply daily to a damp face, then pat away excess with a clean tissue.

Rich moisturiser

* 3 tablespoons apricot kernel oil
* 3 tablespoons avocado oil
* 3 tablespoons sweet almond oil
* 3 tablespoons beeswax
* 3 tablespoons rosewater

Melt the oils and wax slowly over heat until melted, stirring all the time. Take off as soon as it is melted. Add rosewater and beat well until cool. It should be nice and soft.

Peaches & Cream Moisturizing Lotion

Peel and mash one very ripe peach. Strain through a sieve to extract all the juice. Mix peach juice with an equal quantity of fresh cream. Keep refrigerated.

Coconut moisturiser

* 1 teaspoon organic safflower oil
* 1/3 teaspoon vegetable shortening
* 1 teaspoon lemon juice
* 1 teaspoon lime juice
* 1/3 teaspoon coconut oil

Over low heat, heat all ingredients until warm. Pour into a non-metallic container and stir or shake well before each use. Can be used over the entire body. Apply to face in a circular motion. Makes 2 tablespoons. Store at room temperature. Discard after 3 days
