By on Healing Blog

It is summer which means gorgeous, glowing skin – or maybe not. Is your skin flaky, dry or sunburned? These powerful at-home recipes can change that fast. Grab your apron and head to your kitchen. It is time to whip up some natural, beautifying skin treatments. I like my ingredients to be sustainable and organic, which is why these treatments work.

Green Machine – Avocado Facial

  • 1 avocado
  • 1 TBSP of olive oil
  • 1 TBSP of Jajoba oil

Preparation: Mash together ingredients in a bowl until creamy smooth.

Blend the mixture into hair and skin and leave on for 15+ minutes Rinse off in shower

 

Benefits: This will leave your face and skin super silky smooth and pumped up on vitamins and essential nutrients.

 

Lavender Sweet Honey Facial

  • 100% raw, active Manuka honey or lavender honey

Preparation: Put a tablespoon of the honey into your hand and spread on clean face and neck.

Rinse off with warm water and pat face dry with a clean towel.

 

Benefits: Manuka honey is Australia and New Zealand and is known for its antibacterial and healing properties. It’s also the purist honey in the world. You can add kiwi fruit to this facial for a zest.

Turmeric Powder Power Facial

  • 1 TBSP of turmeric powder
  • 1 TBSP of honey or 1/4 Tsp of water

Preparation: Mix all ingredients until it makes a paste.

Apply mask with your fingertips until your entire face is covered.

Leave on for a min. of 10 minutes.

Rinse off with warm water and pat face dry on a dark colored clean towel.

Benefits: Anti-Inflammatory properties.

Have fun and enjoy the working properties of these three wonderful masks. If you’re allergic to any of the ingredients or you feel uncertain about using them on your skin, consult with your physician.

Lavender toothpaste

If you are sick of commercial toothpaste or you are looking for little ways to cut back finically, making toothpaste can be a fun project.

 

  •  1/2 cup of baking soda
  •   1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide
  •   1/4 cup of warm water
  •  Lavender drops (4-6)

Mix together until it is a paste. Store in an air tight container for future use. Keeping your mouth clean can be fun when you make toothpaste yourself.
