Caring For Your Skin

1. Dry Skin - Mix one large spoonful of rosewater to 2 of glycerine and smooth onto face, leave overnight. This can be done whilst around the house during the day.  After several hours, wash off anything remaining.  It has a slightly sticky feel but should be worth it.

2. Body scrub - Make sure skin is damp with water, then rub in salt crystals.  This removes dead skin and allows moisturisers to penetrate into the skin more easily.

3. Toner for oily skin - Take a tomato, some cucumber and a double measure of Vodka, liquidise together and then rub into skin.  Leave for three minutes, wipe off with damp cotton wool.  This is an excellent astringent for oily skin.

4. Face mask for oily skin - Take the white of an egg and mix with 4/5 drops of lemon juice.  Apply to skin with brush.  Leave ten minutes and then remove with hot water.

Face mask for dry skin - Mix an egg yolk with one spoon of honey.  Spread on face and leave for ten minutes.  Rinse off with warm water.

Ingrowing facial hair - Mash up some chick peas and water, use as facial scrub 2/3 times a week.

Use sheets of toilet paper rather than tissues or cotton wool for removing makeup and nail varnish.

Baby lotion is a good substitute for make-up remover.
