Homemade Skin Care Recipes For Vibrant Natural Beauty

Here's a partial list of basic ingredients most often used in homemade facial skin care along with which types of skin they are good for:

Witch Hazel You can find witch hazel at most drugstores. It is often used alone as a gentle yet powerful astringent for oily skin, and it also makes a good ingredient in skin care recipes.

Cocoa Butter Cocoa butter leaves skin soft and supple. It may be used in dry skin or wrinkle treatments.

Olive Oil Olive oil provides moisture without being too greasy. It is most often used on dry or combination skin, but may also be used in small amounts in treatments for oily skin. It contains antioxidants that help protect your skin from the effects of aging.

Yogurt Those with dry or sensitive skin will find a yogurt mask very soothing. It aids in sloughing off dead skin cell and leaves the skin nice and soft.

Honey Honey is used in treatments for every skin type. It adds moisture without being greasy and makes the skin super soft. It is also effective against wrinkles and fine lines.

Tea Tree Oil This essential oil works very well against acne. A small dab works well as an acne spot treatment. Use sparingly in cleansers and toners, because tea tree oil is highly potent and may dry the skin.

Oats Oatmeal is good for dry or sensitive skin. You can also use raw oats to make an exfoliant to remove dead skin.
