On my quest to not only find great beauty products but also to find the best things for my skin, I discovered an array of skin care products that are very affordable AND can be made from simple ingredients that you probably already have in your home. Ever since I quit nursing nine months ago, my skin seems to have gone crazy. I suddenly have the skin of a 16-year-old again and not in the "youthful, smooth, wrinkle-free" way. Rather, the "my hormones are going buck wild and my face looks like a connect the dots game". I stumbled upon some interesting recipes that I want to try. The first is a yogurt, honey, lemon facial cleanser that you can use daily. It is a great cleanser for sensitive skin. One of the best things about it is it's simplicity. So far I have been using it for two days and my skin feels way better than it ever has when using a store bought product. Bonus: the cold yogurt feels great on my skin during the summer!
What do these ingredients do for your skin?
Lemon- has anti-aging power (I mean, it preserves food, right?). As well as the power to rid your skin bad bacteria that is known to cause outbreaks.
Yogurt- contains probiotics that infuse your skin with healthy, good bacteria as well as moisturize.
Honey- is a great cleanser and also very moisturizing to the skin.
Recipe:
1 tablespoon - yogurt
- 1/2 tablespoon - honey
- 1/2 teaspoon - lemon juice
Mix all three ingredients together in a bowl. Apply to face by rubbing in a circular motion for 1-2 minutes. Rinse with water and pat dry.
*Make sure to discard any remaining cleanser as it does not keep.
