Honey

Honey facial moisturizer -- this definitely works very well. It left a natural glow to my skin rather than the shiny, wet look of store bought moisturizers. Everyone should try it out.
Oatmeal Scrub

I used an oatmeal scrub for my skin. It works wonders, and after reading more of this lovely site (unlike all ignorant 16-year-olds, I always was a hippie, so I love to try natural recipes for curing myself from various diseases) I shall try the baking power one too (we buy baking powder more frequently than oatmeal in this household :D) Peace, love and so on

oh my god. that was the most amazing thing i've ever put on my face. i didn't have rolled oats, but i just used regular kind and it's just as good i think. i have about 4 zits on my chin. they're kind of big too. they look HORRIBLE. :| my skin is rrrrrrreally dry around those areas and my nose, so whenever i put my makeup on, it shows the dry skin so well and it looks terrible. i used your scrub, and i swear it already took so much dead/dry skin off my face. i have a date tomorrow, and i really don't want my face looking HORRIBLE. so hopefully this'll make my skin a bit better. thanks a ton=]

Hi Anjeanette,

Luv nina.

honey mixed with organic sea salt cures acne and makes skin very smooth. Mixed together and applied to your face or other area to the body. Rub in the mixture to the desired area and let sit for 5 to ten minutes what ever you can stand. You will feel results immediately.
Water Cleanse
Posted by Yera (Springfield, VA) on 09/07/2006
★★★★★
I use only water to clean my face. And once in a month, I use facial soap. Some time ago I used to use the daily, and I found out especially in the summer that I could not resist sunburn. My natural skin oil is my sun block. Especially those who don't have an oily face skin can benefit from this advice.
Tomatoes
Posted by Nature Lover (Grand Rapids, MI) on 06/19/2006
★★★★★
Tomatoes have improved my skin. They also cure my low-intensity digestion problems. Whenever our skin does not look healthy-- pimples, etc, I and my wife found this very useful: First thing in the morning, take half a tomato. One full if it is small or a Roma tomato. Cut into 4 to 8 pieces. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper powder. Eat it. And do not eat anything for next 30 to 45 mins. That's all. Within 2-3 days, you should notice a change. If you do, continue for next 2-3 days. Make sure you eat it in the morning on an empty stomach. I guess is that it removes certain bacteria/ worms from the stomach and directly improves the skin. Hope it helps you too
Apricot Scrub, Drink Water
Posted by Matt (Columbus, Georgia) on 06/13/2008
★★★★★
I use an Apricot Scrub for an exfoliant every morning and night. I also wash with soap and HOT water, then a splash of cool water. I am 30 but people mistake me for being under 20.
Cantaloupe
Posted by Breah (Seattle, Washington) on 06/09/2008
Actually cantaloupe doesn't cure anything specifically, water does. Even with at least eight glasses a day, you most likely are not getting as much of the vitamins and minerals as you could. Drink truly filtered water, not Brita water. I use water filtered by a gravity filter which is guaranteed to remove all harmful chemicals and bacteria and more. I then water my organic vegetables and fruits with it, and they do wonders! No aftertastes, bigger, healthier plants, and cantaloupe so juicy it may seem to be a cure.
Baths, Aloe Vera, Water

Hi Joe how much acv do you take daily?
Mayonnaise
Posted by Louise (Sydney Australia) on 02/04/2006
★★★★★
I use whole egg mayonnaise as a facial once or twice a week. Just smooth it onto face, neck, hands, leave for 20 minutes and then rinse off using warm water and a face washer. People always comment on how good my skin looks. When it is looking a little sallow, I just mix some lemon juice in with the mayonnaise and proceed as before.
Vegetarian Diet
Posted by Ana (Porto, Portugal) on 01/28/2006
★★★★★
Hi! Since I became a vegetarian my skin has improved very much. I used to have very oily skin and acne in my back as well. It's all gone thanks to whole yeast, plenty of fruit and vegetables every single day, lots of water, tofu and nuts. I walk 2 hours per day as well.
Lemon Juice Exfoliator
Posted by Kerry (Saraland, AL) on 11/30/2005
★★★★★
I exfoliate my face with lemon juice every other night. I also use a moisturizer and most importantly I eat lots of veggies, nuts, and fruit. I also take cod liver oil every other day, plus vitamin/mineral supplements. I don't smoke, I drink very little alcohol, and I use sunscreen. I'm 42 and people tell me I look like I'm in my late 20's
Smiling While You Moisturize
Posted by Harriett (Savannah, GA) on 10/14/2005
★★★★★
Make a big smile while cleansing, and moisturizing your face. There is something about the massaging effect of your face while it's in a smiling expression that makes it give off a beautiful glow. Also, smiling at your reflection while giving tender loving care to your skin somehow has a positive mental effect on your complexion, and your entire day!!
Flaxseed Oil
Posted by Deirdre (Los Angeles, CA)
★★★★★
I started taking Flax Seed oil as an Omega 3 supplement. However, almost immediately I noticed that my skin became noticeably softer and more supple. I increased the dosage to 3x a day (my system had to get used to this, mind you, as it is a laxative) and I swear the wrinkles on my face are much less noticeable!
Facials

I get a facial whenever I can afford to. That's my secret to looking younger!
Witch Hazel, Coconut Oil
Posted by Terri (Carlisle, PA)
★★★★★
I cleanse my face before bed with Witch Hazel (natural toner) and apply organic coconut oil very lightly. My face is so smooth and soft. I am 50 and everyone thinks that I am in my late 30's. I also use coco butter alternately. Coconut oil applied directly on an acne area will dry up the sore. Have done it many times, it works great!
Vitamins A
Posted by Coty (Fortblackmore VA)
★★★★★
Vitamin A, which is found in carrots, Vitamin C found in apples and washing my skin with a mild antibacterial soap twice a day morning and night.
