Think Cheap part deux


We all want good skin. So we go to extremely overpriced stores like Bath and Body Works and the Body Shop or LUSH to get their ORGANIC SKIN CARE LINE. Oh yea, I would LOVE to pay $30 for some SALT in a fancy container.


Eff THAT!


Home remedies are the best because 1) they're cheap 2) you KNOW what you're putting on your skin.


Recipe #1 - Honey scrub


Ingredients: Honey, salt (preferably any fine sea salt, or dead sea salt powder)


Method: Mix honey with some salt (so you feel it being grainy) and then rub all over your face / skin. Stay put for a few and then rinse with warm water.


Your skin will super soft.



Recipe #2 - Honey + Avocado


Ingredients: Honey, Avocado, few drops of olive oil


Method: Scoop out some avocado with a spoon, and add a few drops of honey and olive oil to the mixture. Mix and apply all over the face. Soak for about 20 minutes, and then rinse with warm water.


As long as you refrigerate the avocado, one whole of that veggie will last you quite a few facial scrubs.


Should I even total this recipe? it seems like a no-brainer to me.


Recipe #3 - Honey + Milk


Ingredients: Honey , powdered whole milk (1 tsp) , refined sea salt (1 tsp), Jojoba oil (can be found at whole foods)


Method: Mix the ingredients together so you get a nice consistency (it should be sort of creamy and you should feel the powder and salt on your face so not too much honey or oil) and apply onto face. Soak and rinse with warm water.


Jojoba Oil - It's a great moisturizer. It can be found at your local Whole Foods, or Trader Joe's. I also highly recommend Sweet Almond Oil. Just a few drops into your facial scrub will be enough! You can also use these two oils as a daily moisturizer and makeup remover!



In toto: Less money, more value, awesome skin, and CHEAP.


DO IT PEOPLE!
