Spring Cleaning: How to Pamper Your Skin.
Brown sugar/olive
oil/ginger body scrub: Mix 2 cups of brown sugar with 1 cup of olive oil
and add a small amount of ground ginger. Mix well into a paste. Using
circular motions, rub your entire body, paying special attention to
elbows, heels, and knees. Rinse with a body wash and wet washcloth and
towel dry. The result: Softer, suppler, and less dry skin.
Milk and honey foot treatment: Pour 2 cups of milk per one cup of honey into a basin
large enough to hold both feet. Soak for 15 minutes, lightly massaging
the mixture into skin. Results: Softer, smoother skin without harsh
exfoliation. You can also use the milk/honey combo to soak elbows or
hands, or pat gently onto the face and massage in. Always rinse with
tepid water.
Egg white and
citrus face masque: (normal to oily skin) -- Mix 2 raw egg whites with
1/4 cup of fresh orange juice. Apply to skin and let rest for 15 minutes
until dry. Rinse well with warm water. The result: Tighter pores and a
brighter, less dull complexion.
Oatmeal face masque: (sensitive
skin) -- Mix oatmeal with boiling water according to package
instructions. Let cool, then apply to skin and let rest for 15 minutes.
Rinse well with warm water. The result: A radiant, moisturized glow.
