1. Natural cleanser ( cleans and moisturises)


What you need:

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (yes i know oil sounds kind of scary but extra virgin oil is totally natural and does not block pores)

blend everything together until it becomes a liquid.


2. 


What you need:

1 tablespoon of honey (cleans and attracts moisture)
1 tablespoon of milk or cream (soothing)

warm honey in the miscowave for a few seconds or place you cup/carton of honey into a bowl of boiling water. you want the honey to be a warm liquid not too hot.
Mix honey and milk or cream together, this should be made fresh


3. stimulating and rejuvanating


what you need:

1 teaspoon of green tea
2 tablespoons of cornmeal
1 tablespoon of natural yogurt
1 teaspoon of chopped mint leaves


mix tea and mint and leave it steep and cool down
mix well with yogurt and cornmeal.
This can be put in the fridge for a few days



4. cleanser for oily skin:


what you need:

 2 tablespoons of baking soda
 lemon juice or tomato juice.
