It’s never true! Frankly, I’ve had tremendous success mixing and creating fun ingredients for various remedies at home.

All of my skin care recipes have given me real results in a short matter of time, and most of them only cost $1 to $5 to make!

With all the crazy chemicals they’re putting in our “health” products today, I don’t think I’ll ever use a store-bought skin care product again!

I have created and discovered great natural skin care recipes for almost every skin and hair problem (plus many body and health problems too!) They are far more effective, cheap, and organic than store products. I won’t be looking back! :)

Here are five of my favorite kitchen created skin treatments.

A home remedy to lighten skin

For a long time, lemon has been known for its natural lightening effects on a variety of things, including skin!

Lemon can be used as a facial cleanser and to lighten dark patches to create a more even skin tone. It can also be used to gently fade away freckles and discolored marks on the skin.

While lemon is a great lightener, it can also make your skin very sensitive because of its acidity.

To use on a daily basis, mix 1 tsp lemon juice into 1 1/2 cups of your daily moisturizing lotion. Use this mixture daily to lighten your complexion.

The perfect wrinkle and eye puffiness combo recipe!

Unfortunately, many of us are in need of some good skin care recipes to reduce puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles around our eyes.

Here is something each of us can do about it.

You may have seen on TV or heard from your mother that cucumber is great for reducing puffy eyes. This is true! But, there is a better way.

Using both avocado and cucumber together can effectively eliminate both eye puffiness and wrinkles! Avocado has natural oils that can plump and rejuvenate skin to erase those ugly wrinkles.

Cucumber rehydrates, cools and soothes the skin. This helps both reduce the puffiness, and also adds water to the skin to plump it and help the wrinkles fade.

Begin by using an avocado-honey paste around your eyes to sooth the skin, plump it, and begin erasing those wrinkles. After 20 minutes, gently rinse it off.

Then, try the traditional method of lying on your back with cucumber slices over your eyes. Leave these on for an additional 15 minutes.

After this home spa treatment, you should feel healthier skin and see more beautiful young eyes! :)

Soften delicate skin- skin care recipes

Use 1 to 3 teaspoons of warmed honey on sensitive and thin skin to soften, hydrate and cleanse.

This recipe can be used daily or a few times per week for great results! Delicate areas such as the face, neck, and upper chest bone area will benefit from this home remedy.

Honey is known for its ability to both cleanse and soften skin. It is a good skin facial and face wash follow-up recipe. It’s also a great way to come out looking and smelling fabulous! :)

Skin care recipes for the pesky pimple!

While a preventative acne clearing program is essential for staying pimple free, we all have those spontaneous ones that crop up out of nowhere.

For these, you really just want to have it heal as soon as possible with a home quick fix.

Dab a little toothpaste on any blemish you find has appeared, and allow it to sit for up to an hour.

Don’t use this as a spread on your face if you have many blemishes though! It could really dry out your skin. My free acne eliminating daily program will show you how to completely prevent acne from occuring in the first place, and clear the entire affected area! :)

Got razor burn? Skin care recipes to your rescue!

Razor burn is undeniably annoying, and not so great to look at. This imminent result of shaving can cause sensitive, unsightly skin in the worst of places.

It can also cause painful ingrown hairs from the hair growing the wrong way. Here is a helpful ingrown hair home remedies advice page that can help.

To calm razor burn, blend 1/2 of a banana, two teaspoons of olive oil, and three teaspoons of honey in a blender. Apply generously to the razor burn, and let it heal your skin for 10 to 20 minutes. Repeat daily until it is fully healed.

This recipe will last you for several treatments, so be sure to seal and refrigerate it well.

The Softest Skin Ever Recipe

One of my favorite skin care home remedies is this recipe for soft skin. This dry skin home remedy is practically free, (assuming you have a few standard items in your shower), and is a miracle worker for rough, flaky, or marked skin. (Or even if you have great skin, and want to make it perfect for a romantic night out!)

You will need:

- A shower brush or loofah
- Gentle soap
- A bit of shampoo
- A razor if you need it for the specific area
- A moisturizing lotion
- To be in your shower or bath! :)

The first step in this recipe is to clean your skin and prep it for the whole process. Begin by soaping up the area you’d like to soften, and work it into a nice rich lather to remove oil, dirt and dead skin cells.

After rinsing off the soap, add a dollop of shampoo to your brush or loofah. Work the brush around and around in two inch circles over the entire area. Exfoliating this way is important, so be sure to do this for about two or three minutes.

If you need for this specific area of the body, shave carefully as usual. After you have finished shaving, exfoliate again in small circles for one minute. This will help to completely soften the skin.

Don’t forget this step! After you’ve gone through the exfoliation process, apply your skin moisturizer liberally to the area. Let it soak in for 20 to 30 minutes, and enjoy how soft and healthy your skin looks and feels!

The Closest Shave Ever Recipe

Another of my favorite personal skin care home remedies is all about getting the closest and smoothest shave possible.

It’s really frustrating to spend so much time shaving your legs for a great night, only to find that the stubble has returned within 12 hours. In retaliation of this pesky annoyance, I created a formula to get the closest and longest-lasting shave possible.

Natural Skin Care

To get the closest shave with my skin care home remedies, you must begin with exfoliation to remove skin, dirt and oils. The process is the same as the exfoliation process in the above recipe, using body scrub to remove dead skin.

Start by soaking your skin in hot water for 5-15 minutes.

Add soap or shampoo to your shower brush/loofah, and scrub your skin in two inch circles for a few minutes. Pay special attention to knees, elbows, ankles, and feet as these areas get particularly rough.

Next you will want to turn on cool water. It doesn’t need to be dead cold, but it should be cold enough to give your healthy skin light goosebumps.

Using a good amount of soap or shaving cream, carefully shave the entire area of skin.

When you are finished shaving, rinse with warm water. Then exfoliate again, the same way as above. This process allows your razor to get closer to the skin by exfoliating first, and also gives you a closer shave with the use of cool water.

As the last step, gently dry your skin with a towel, and apply moisturizers to the area you shaved. Allow it to soak in for 10 or 15 minutes. You will notice that you were able to get an incredibly close shave followed up with amazingly silky skin with this home recipe. Enjoy your natural beauty!

Cold Sore Remedies

The first thing you should know is that the bacteria within the cold sore can be killed. This can help your skin begin to heal sooner than it would take for your body to ward it off naturally.

You may try using tea tree oil as cold sores treatment. Tea tree is well known for its antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. However, it will dry out your skin so proper moisturizing will be needed.

Hydrogen peroxide is another item you may have in your medicine cabinet that can help. Dip a Q Tip into the bottle and apply to the fever blister twice per day, following up with a moisturizer.

You can even consider trading off using tea tree oil and hydrogen peroxide as fever blister home remedies. If you are in need of a natural moisturizer, olive oil works well and will promote healing.
