1. Oatmeal
If you’re looking for a quick pick-me-up that will leave you
feeling and looking better, give yourself an oatmeal facial.
Combine 1/2 cup hot — not boiling — water and 1/3 cup
oatmeal. After the water and oatmeal have settled for two or
three minutes, mix in 2
tablespoons plain yogurt, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 small
egg white. Apply a thin layer of the mixture to your face, and
let it sit for 10-15 minutes. Then rinse with warm water. (Be
sure to place a metal or plastic
strainer in your sink to avoid clogging the drain with the
granules.)
2. Powdered Milk
Here’s another way to give yourself a fancy spa facial at
home. Make a mask by mixing 1/4 cup powdered milk with
enough water to form a thick paste. Thoroughly coat your
face with the mixture, let dry completely, then rinse with
warm water. Your face will
feel fresh and rejuvenated.
3. Mouthwash
An antiseptic mouthwash makes a wonderful astringent for
cleansing your face. Check the ingredients to make sure it
does not contain sugar, then use as follows. Wash your face
with warm, soapy water and rinse. Dab a cotton ball with
mouthwash and
gently wipe your face as you would with any astringent. You
should feel a pleasant, tingling sensation. Rinse with warm
water followed by a splash of cold water.
Your face will look and feel clean and refreshed.
4. Lemons
Clean and exfoliate your face by washing it with lemon juice.
You can also dab lemon juice on blackheads to draw them out
during the day. Your skin should improve after several days of
treatment.
5. Epsom Salts
Here’s a surefire way to dislodge blackheads: Mix 1 teaspoon
Epsom salt and 3 drops iodine in 1/2 cup boiling water. When
the mixture cools enough to stick your finger in it, apply it to
the blackhead with a cotton
ball. Repeat this three or four times, reheating the solution if
necessary. Gently remove the blackhead and then dab the area
with an alcohol-based astringent
