Home Remedies for Skin Care

I always remember saying that when I get to a certain age I will focus on my skin. Seems I'm at that age. Not wanting to use chemicals to preserve what nature gave me, I found a few home remedies for natural skin care.

These are anecdotes I've found on the web so take them with a grain of salt.

For skin blemishes:
-- Exfoliate using oatmeal. Mix with water and scrub on skin. Will remove dead skin
-- Toothpaste with baking soda to clear up skin. (I know people who do this and it works.)
-- For pimples -- mix ground nutmeg with milk and boil. Cool and apply to area letting it dry overnight.
-- For spots -- Peel tomato and potato and cut into small pieces and boil. Strain liquid. Apply to face for 20 min. Use once weekly


Facial Mask: Combine honey and oatmeal. Leave on for 10 min.

Moisturizer: Use a small amount of sweet almond oil
