Natural Recipes For Skin : 6 DIY Hair and Skin Care Recipes

COMPLEXION LIGHT SCRUB

The strawberry and lemon in this brew are both sources of vitamin C, which help to fade dark spots and strengthen radiation. The brown sugar shakes gently dry skin flakes. Use twice a week on moist skin, then follow with moisturizer. - From Lindsay Ellingson, co-founder and creative director of Hiking Beauty Cosmetics

4 ripe strawberries, pureed

3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

½ cup of brown sugar

Juice of ½ lemon

-----------------------------------------------

COCO-HONEY DEEP-CONDITIONER

Nutrient- and protein-containing coconut oil and hydrating honey ensure an intensive nourishing, repairable hair mask. Spread from roots through clean, damp hair - or, if you have fine hair, only from ear level down. Allow to react for 30 minutes, then rinse. Use once a week or when hair is dry. -From Michele Periquet & Firouze Zeroual of Wellness and Lifestyle Brand Reset Yourself

3 Tbsp coconut oil (for short hair, use 2 tbsp)

1 tablespoon of honey

-----------------------------------------------

CALMING CUCUMBER FACE TREATMENT

Your skin drinks this cooling mask, thanks to the water-rich, anti-inflammatory cucumbers, which contain high levels of caffeic acid to swell swelling and irritation. Slather on the mixture, then kick back for 15 minutes before you wash it off. - From New York City dermatologist Amy Wechsler, M.D.

½ cucumber, pureed

2 Tbsp simple yogurt

-----------------------------------------------

SUGAR & HONEY BODY POLICE

Greek yogurt and brown sugar contain both alpha-hydroxy acids that dissolve dead skin, while the sugar grains also act as a peeling for additional smoothing. Then honey and olive oil clog up moisture. Rub the paste on clean, damp skin for one minute, and rinse. - From Beverly Hills, CA, Dermatologist Ava Shamban, M.D.

1 cup of brown sugar

⅓ cup of olive oil

½ cup of Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons of honey

-----------------------------------------------

REMOVING THE SOOTHING MAKEUP

Both oils in this silky emulsion dissolve stubborn makeup and dirt on contact (no eye rubbing required) and deliver antioxidant vitamin E; Coconut oil is also antibacterial. Blend it together in a small bowl, then wipe over your face and eyes with a cotton ball. Rinse with warm water. - From Clara Williams, a certified beautician and founder of the Skinnyskinny organic skin care line

2 tbsp olive oil

½ Tbsp coconut oil

-----------------------------------------------

GENTLY EXFOLIATING FACE MASK

A combination of salicylic acid from strawberries and lactic acid from Greek yogurt helps to clog the pores for clear, glowing skin, and the brown sugar softens. Leave the mask for 10 to 20 minutes before polishing with a damp washcloth. - By Tata Harper, founder of the all-natural Tata Harper Skincare line

¼ Mug Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon of brown sugar

4 ripe strawberries, pureed
