    Smile Homemade Beauty Recipes

    I found some and I'm going to try them out
    Anyone game to join me?

    Aphrodite Apple Mask

    1 T Applesauce

    1 T Wheat Germ

    To Make:* Purée apple in a blender or add applesauce to a small bowl. Mix in the wheat germ to form a paste.

    To Use: *Apply to washed, scrubbed, and steamed face. Allow mask to set for 10-15 minutes. Tone then moisturize.

    Avocado Cream Carrot Mask
    This mask combines avocados, which are rich in Vitamin E, with carrots, which are high in beta-carotene and antioxidants, and cream, which is high in calcium and protein.* These ingredients will rebuild skin collagen, improve tone and texture, and fade age spots.
    1 avocado, mashed
    1 carrot, cooked and mashed
    1/2 cup heavy cream
    1 egg, beaten
    3 tablespoons honey
    Combine all ingredients in a bowl until smooth.* Spread gently over your face and neck, and leave in place 10-15 minutes.* Rinse with cool water and follow with your favorite toner.

    Honey Cucumber Mask

    1 medium Cucumber, peeled and cut up into pieces

    2 tsp. Honey

    Puree cucumber in a blender. Line a sieve with cheesecloth and set the sieve over a glass bowl or measuring cup. Pour the cucumber puree through the sieve and let it stand for 15 minutes for the juices to drip into the bowl. Pour the clear juice into a clean bottle and add honey.

    To use, shake the bottle and saturate a cotton pad with the lotion. Sweep over face, neck and chest morning and night, and let it air dry (about 3 to 4 minutes). Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Makes about 1/2 cup.

    I have heaps more too !!!!!

    Actually, it was supposed to be merged but there was a glitch in the system. Another thread almost exactly the same was posted two days ago. https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...es-146111.html I will close this thread so we don't have two of the same happening
