11 Easy Food Facials - Homemade Recipes
When mixing food items for facials, make sure to use sterile utensils and containers.
Wash hands really well so they’re clean before applying the skin treatment.
The first time using a recipe: Apply a bit of the prepared mask to the inside of your wrist before using on your face. You want to make sure your skin won’t have a bad reaction to it (allergies). If your skin begins to feel irritated or burning, remove mask immediately.
First step is to apply a warm cloth to your face to open pores, then apply the facial mask. Wash the mask off with warm water and rinse with cool water (to close pores).

Hey! I use the a great facial recipe!
1cup oatmeal
1 tbl spoon honey
1 half mashed bannana
1 tbl spoon plain yogurt
And leave on 15 to 20 minutes
After I used it I felt Great!
Oh And Sarah how long do you keep the sugar and olive oil on? And how much do I use?

My tip is similar to Sarah’s but I found that coconut oil and sugar make a great scrub for elbows, knees and feet. Just rub on, work in and rinse. Also use it to soften hands after scrubbing, painting, gardening, etc. Skin feels baby soft.
