There’s no need to drop hundreds of dollars on skin care products at a high-end beauty store. All the premium skin treatments you need – face washes, scrubs, toners, masks, moisturizers, even acne treatment – can be done right at home with common ingredients. These natural products found in your pantry are free of harsh chemicals and simply excellent for your skin.
Raw Honey
We’re not talking about the thin, light-colored table honey that comes in a bear-shaped bottle. If you haven’t already, get your hands on a jar of “raw,” “unpastuerized” or “unfiltered” honey. This stuff is a bit pricier than the filtered honey, but it is liquid gold for your skin. Raw honey is an ancient remedy for infencted wounds, according to a study published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine. Its antimicrobial activity fights bacteria, while enzymes and antioxidants lock in moisture.
Spread raw honey on clean, dry skin with your fingertips like you would a facial cleanser. Leave on for 10-20 minutes for extra moisturizing. Rinse with warm water.
Mix 1 teaspooon of ground cinnamon with 3 tablespoons of raw honey for a (literally) killer acne-fighting mask. Spread the mixture on clean, dry skin and leave for up to one hour before rinsing with warm water.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Olive oil is good for you inside and out. If it’s not already in your makeup bag, it should be. It may sound odd to use oil on your face, but extra virgin olive oil is non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog your pores. Extra virgin olive oil contains antioxidants like vitamins A and E that combat aging, repair skin and moisturize, according to LiveStrong.com. It’s an inexpensive, gentle way to remove your makeup.
