Homemade Facial Cleansers

August 11th, 2009

Making your own natural home made facial cleansers is quite easy and all you need is a few ingredients which can be sourced cheaply from your local supermarket. This is a great natural alternative to expensive store bought facial cleansers.

With all these facial cleansers mix all of the ingredients into a thick and smooth paste. Apply the paste onto your entire face and slowly massage with slow circular motions then leave to dry naturally before rinsing it off.

Oily skin:

1 tsp lemon peel
1/2 tsp milk powder
1 tsp barley meal
2 tsp of warm water.

Use lemon peel in a home made facial cleanser

Dry Skin:

1/2 tsp milk powder
1/4 tsp of sugar
1 tsp almond meal
1 tsp of warm water

Almond Meal is a great ingrediant in home made facial cleansers

Sensitive Skin:

1/2 tsp of ground orange peel
1 tsp almond meal
1/2 tsp milk powder
1 tsp rose water

Rose water is great for sensitive skin

Making Your Own MSM and Aloe Vera Lotion

February 8th, 2009

You can either go out there and purchase your MSM lotion from a health food store or you can easily make your own providing you have pure MSM flakes on you and Pure Aloe Vera Gel.

There are so many creams out on the market that claim to do all types of things, anti ageing, scar removal, acne fighting, etc. To me the best crem I have ever put on my face and body has been this cream that I made myself. It is cheap and effective especially when combined with the internal consumption of MSM.

MSM and Aloe Vera Gel Lotion

The easiest recipe is to combine MSM with Pure Aloe Vera gel. Keep in mind that 3 x rounded teaspoons of MSM Crystal Flakes is about 15 grams of MSM.

What you will need:

MSM Crystal Flakes - 15 grams for every 100mls of Aloe Vera Gel
Pure Aloe Vera Gel - 100mls (or more if you want to make more)

Process:

Mix 3 rounded teaspoons of MSM for ever 100 mls of pure Aloe Vera gel in a bowl.
Mix it well and let it sit for about 30 minutes so the MSM flakes dissolve into the Aloe Vera gel.
Don't add more MSM than the amount stated as it will become saturated and go clumpy.
Pour the mixture into a suitable container (an old washed out cream tub is good).
Use is as frequently as you feel is necessary.

Olay Definity To Repair and Reflect

Collagen reflects light like a mirror, making the complexion appear bright and even. Hormones, UV exposure and stress affect how your melanocyte cells produce and distribute melanin. The Olay Definity range was formulated to promote collagen and block melanin overdrive. Not too bad for a cheaper cream.
