11 Easy Food Facials – Homemade Recipes

Picture of Strawberry & Honey Fruit Facial - Tipnut.comWhen 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.

Skin Preparation:

  • 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).

    The baking soda and water paste is excellent. I use it at least once a week as an exfoliant.

    Oh And Sarah how long do you keep the sugar and olive oil on? And how much do I use?

    • Jacquie says:

      My friend and I made your recipe! it was very nice, but it was a little chunky, and it didn’t really stick to our faces. But its almost just as fun to make a its as fun to put on our face! Thank you for putting your recipe online! Yay!

  8. Gloria says:

    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.

  9. Mrs s says:

    Milk cleanser

    2 tbsp Full Fat Milk
    1 tbsp Honey

    Mix the ingrdeients together. Soak cotton wool pads in the mixture and then use to cleanse the face.

    Skin will feel clean and soft.

  10. Helen says:

    Try powder milk and whole or low fat make. Mix together and make a thin paste. Apply over face and neck and remain until dry. This facial closes your pores and gives you a clear complexion.

  11. Gina Walker says:

    Thank you all so much I am going to try and use all of these, Im going to use my hubby as the guinea pig and see how he looks with each new result.

  12. Rebecca says:

    For soft skin i use this mixture every two to three days. my skin is like a babies! mix all of these together in a small bowl and apply to rinsed face with fingers.

    A quarter size amount of body wash
    A quarter size amount of face wash
    A quarter size amount of body scrub (optional…don’t use if your skinis sensitive)
    A quarter size amount of face moisterizer
    and A quarter size amount of hair conditioner

  13. vanitha says:

  14. Racheal says:

  15. PErson says:

    Peanut butter? Umm does it actually work?

  16. Darlene Enderby says:

    I was watching a ‘morning show’ a couple days ago and was excited to see someone making this ‘recipe’! Its ‘called’ face cream but its a cleanser and moisturizer for your face, as well as your body! Can’t wait to try it!

    ***You can also put it in a pretty jar with a ribbon on the lid, for a basket-gift!

    ***For the BeesWax, call a local honey farmer. You’ll be able to get it ‘very cheap’ that way!

    Homemade Face Cream
    By Jen Schubr – on Living with Amy

    1/4 teaspoon borax
    1/4 cup water
    1/2 cup olive oil, or oil of your choice
    1/2 ounce (by weight) of grated beeswax (2 slightly rounded tablespoons)

    Dissolve the borax in the water. Set aside.
    Combine the oil and beeswax in a small double boiler or 2 cup glass measuring cup. Heat over hot water until melted and clear.
    In a separate pan, Heat the borax/water mix almost to boiling.
    Slowly pour the borax/water mixture into the oil/beeswax mixture, using a stick blender to mix as you pour. Beat well with the stick blender until the mix is glossy and thickened up somewhat. It will thicken more upon standing.
    Pour the face cream into an 8-ounce jar with a lid.
    Cool to room temperature before using.

    NOTE: If you don’t have a stick blender you can beat the cold cream with a whisk or in a regular blender, but the cleanup will be much more difficult. By using glass measuring cups and a stick blender you will be able to simply wipe most of the excess off with paper towels, then wash in hot soapy water.

    To use as a cleanser and makeup remover:

    Apply with fingertips, rubbing into skin gently. Remove with tissues. Follow up with a warm facecloth and a cold water rinse.

    To use as a scrub:

    Mix a small amount of face cream with a small amount of sugar in the palm of one hand. Apply gently with fingertips in a circular motion avoiding the eye area. Remove as above.

    To use as a moisturizer:

    Apply a small amount to face and tissue off excess. Blot with towel if needed.

    Hey ya’ll yesterday i was bored searching the web and i decided to look up homemade facial products. I now have a ton of great recipies for masks, scrubs, toners, and creams, and the ones i have tried so far have been infinitely better overall than the nasty store bought chemical filled products. And already my skin is getting clearer;) here’s a recipe for a mask that was great! My face felt super soft:
    ~1 medium sized apple; grated
    ~5 tablespoons honey; warmed
    mix together, apply to face, and leave on for 15-20 min. My face has NEVER felt this soft before!

  18. joan says:

    for a cheep body scrub i use left over coffee grounds. in the shower with olive oil its great and i always have it on hand. the baking soda for black heads is great too . and if you have a big blemish you need to get rid of quick just mix honey and cinnamon dab it on the spot cover with a bandaid and go to sleep, wake up and it is almost gone repeat each night as needed. hope this helps.
