Thursday--Spa Day

Here's a couple of videos I found to show how easy it is to make many of the skin care products we all use.  By making your own, however, you control the ingredients and the outcomes.  Home made skin care products also make lovely gifts, so it is a good thing to know how to make these.

Thursday--Spa Day

I love when I find a recipe for a skin care product I use frequently, but find very expensive.  One of these things is the Biore pour strips -- very expensive but necessary!  Imagine my excitement when I found this recipe and tried it, only to discover that this works just as good if not better and only costs pennies!  That to me is a miracle in the making.  So, here is the recipe.  Try it, you'll like it!

Homemade Biore Pore Strips

Make your own homemade pore strips, similar to Biore

After a week of wearing makeup,  washing your face, moisturizing your face, and slathering all sorts of things all of it, a homemade pore cleanser can be the perfect remedy for big, clogged pores and lackluster skin.  The homemade pore strip is a quick homemade beauty remedy that is easy to make and will yield wonderful results.

• 1 Tbsp Knox Unflavored Gelatin
• 11/2 T Milk
• Makeup brush (preferably large eye shadow bristle brush)
• Water
• Witch Hazel or Toner

1. Mix milk and gelatin in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 10 seconds.
2. Using a clean make-up brush, apply thin layer of water and Gelatin mask to problematic areas, staying clear of the eye area. 
3. Let mask dry for 10-15 minutes.
4. Gently tear off film once it's hardened.
5. Rinse off skin areas, making sure to remove any excess film.
6. Follow by applying a toner or witch hazel
