Home Remedy--Facial Cleanser

Hey ya'll. Here are a few recipes for homemade facial cleanser.

Facial cleanser
*Mix 2 Tbls. cornstarch, 2 Tbls. glycerin, and 1/2 cup water until smooth. Heat in a small pan placed in a water bath inside another pan. Heat until thick and clear; it will have the consistency of pudding. Do not boil. Cool completely, Use in place of soap to cleanse your skin. (If mixture is too thick, you may thin it by adding a little water, 1 Tbls. at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.)

*For a gentle facial cleanser mix 1/2 cup oatmeal or cornmeal and plain yogurt (add enough yogurt to form a paste). Smooth over entire face avoiding eye area. Wash off with warm water.

*Oat and Brown Sugar Scrub- Mix 2 Tbsp. ground oats, 2 tsp. brown sugar, 2 Tbsp. aloe vera and 1 tsp. lemon juice in a clean bowl until you have a smooth paste. Gently massage onto damp skin, and rinse off with warm water. You can triple the recipe for a fantastic smoothing body treatment. **Ground Oats: use rolled oats and a clean coffee grinder or blender to grind the flakes to a fine powder.

Well, I've been tearing our bedroom apart, cleaning, washing curtains, etc. and I suppose I better get back and finish putting it all back together. Woohoo! Too much fun, all in one day, for this gal to handle. LOL
