"Natural" beauty regimen

When i am on budget, i try to scrimp on my facial wash, so i used milk w/ lemon on my face. I also make a my own body scrub by using 1 cup Virgin Coconut Oil and 1 cup refined sugar. I also use Honey on my face. I also found out that Calamansi (native lemon) is good for removing stains on my fingernails, it leaves ur fingernails looking clean and polished.

Yes, I still do that. I use mashed banana to mask my face sometimes, eventhough not very often. For my hair, I still use coconut oil to moisturize it.

I do use natural honey once in a while to cleanse my face. Its wonderful, makes my skin feel soft and supple. I just rub it onto my face and then rinse it. Removes impurities and dirt like nothing else.

I like to include some natural, homemade stuff in my skincare regime. I make a variety of face masks from scratch, they're much better than commercial products because the ingredients are fresh and I can alter them depending on what my skin needs on a given day. If my skin is oily or starting to break out, I'll make a mask with fresh strawberries and blueberries for their antioxidant and toning properties. Or if my skin feels dry and flaky, I'll make a mask with more ground oatmeal and honey to exfoliate and moisturize. Slices of chilled cucumber are great to cool and soothe the eye area. And natural pure shea butter moisturizes my dry hands much better than any commercial product on the market! I also like to grow and dry my own herbs, I use the dried spearmint and rosemary leaves to make a fabulously relaxing bath oil mix.

I use both commercially available stuff and common kitchen stuff like honey and oats for my face. Ocassionally I use egg whites too.

Yes I do. I rely on commercial products for my daily face like makeup remover, cleanser, moisturizer, essence, spf base. But when it comes to masks, I love to use natural ingredients from time to time. I do yogurt facial masks from time to time and I use almond oil and butter for my hand masks. And if I find my foot very dry, I mix almonds, dry oatmeal, food grade cocoa butter and honey to do my overnight foot masque! I find the natural recipes are very effective somehow and I love using them when I do my skin "treats" during weekends!
