Ideas for at home facial?

I kinda just wanted to give myself a facial so i was just wondering what were some good at home easy facials?
honey with oatmeal and natural yogurt is really good :)

helps with acne too
honey on for about 20 min(:
You can make a scrub out of raw sugar, mixed with warm water.

A nice relaxing and toning face mask out of mashed avocado, mashed banana, a few drop calendula oil. Wash off with warm water, then pat face dry with a face cloth.
The best facial mask that i have found is honey. Use warm cloth to open pores, smear on honey, leave on 15 to 30 minutes, rinse off with warm water, and then use cold water to close pores. Use for 3 days in a row and then once a week. Sometimes I mix a little ground oatmeal with the honey, which makes a great mask.





The Best Ingredients For Your Skin



The skin is composed of many layers and tissues, and each of them needs certain requirements according to age.



The first requirement for all the cells and tissues is energy, and this is supplied by sugars in honey and fruits, and medium chain triglycerides present in milk and coconut oil.



Certain vitamins play an essential part in the health and integrity of the skin, like vitamin A which acts like a hormone on the skin cells , vitamin B complex which is necessary for all the metabolic processes when the cells are active, and vitamin E which acts - as far as we know- as anti-oxidant to guard against the harmful effects of oxidants.



An important component of cell membranes is Lecithin (phospholipid) present in Egg yolk and vegetable oils.



Fruit acids (alpha hydroxy acids) requirement appears with age, when the superficial layer of dead cells is required to be shed off more quickly, and this is done by fruit acids when they reduce the stickiness of the cement material that holds the dead keratinized cells on the surface of skin.



There are some phytochemicals (present in plants) that have specific effects on enzymes of the skin cells, and will be discussed separately.



You guessed it, the better masks for your skin are those that supply energy, vitamins, and membrane components, more than doing any thing else.
