Fair Complexion Care, Clear And Improve Complexion

Oil For Complexion Care

To really improve your complexion, place 1 cup calendula leaves and/ or flowers into 1 cup olive oil. You can also use any of the vegetable oils in place of the olive oil. Allow the herb to soak for several days. Strain off the herbs and flowers and smooth the oil gently into the skin at night. This can also be used to heal skin abrasions and cuts. It's good for bruises too.

Fair Look, Oily Skin Face Mask

Make a paste by mixing papaya, honey, milk, and milk powder. Apply on face and leave for a few minutes and wash, your face will look fairer.

Dull Skin Color Improvement With Pineapple Juice.

This recipe dissolves the top layer of dry skin. Saturate a clean cloth with pineapple juice and place on the skin as a compress. Leave on at least 30 minutes. Rinse face gently. Break open a vitamin E capsule and apply to the face. Leave on overnight.

Caution: This recipe is not for everybody. My daughter is extremely allergic to pineapple and can not even touch the juice. Please try a skin patch test before applying to the face. It works well for those who can use it, but again, try the test before use.

Chicory Complexion Improvement Face Mask

Chicory has long been used as a coffee substitute, but the beautiful blue flowers can be used as a tea to help clear the complexion and give it a healthy glow. Pour 1 cup boiling water over a small handful of chicory flowers. Cover and steep 15 minutes. Strain and sweeten. Drink at least 1 cup a day.
