Many people suffer from dry skin during the winter months. Here is a recipe for a homemade facial for dry skin. Most of you will remember that I suffer from really bad eczema, so this may be a good natural remedy for me.
This recipe was taken from Now & Zen Bathworks. They also have facial recipes for sensitive or oily skin. Be sure and check out their site for these recipes, as well as their products.
Dry Skin Recipe
1 cup oatmeal, not instant
1/4 cup of banana or avocado, smashed
1 capsule Vitamin E
1 tsp honeyGrind the oatmeal, banana or avocado, and honey in the blender. Pierce the Vitamin E capsule and squeeze into the oatmeal mixture. Blend for 5 minutes. If mixture is too thick, add milk a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is paste like. Apply facial mixture to skin and let dry. Rinse. Unused mixture can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for two days.
Thanks for the tip Darlene.
Interesting recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I have one here too.
To treat dry skin, try to mash a banana and honey together. Apply on the skin and wash off after ten minutes.
