Edible skin!

Its been a long time since I’ve had a facial, not just because of the chemicals that they use, but hey, I can do a lot with 50 bucks! Our skin is the largest organ, so anything we apply to it should be eatable. I found a facial exfoliate and a body scrub recipe that takes a few minutes to make and you probably have the ingredients in your kitchen cabinets now!
The facial exfoliate consists of 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon of honey and 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric. Mix in a bowl then apply to your face. Leave on for about 10 minutes, then wash off.

So you want to exfoliate?
Here is a simple recipe for a quick body scrub:
Mix 6 Tablespoons of sugar and 3 tablespoons of coconut oil. (You may need more or less depending on your size and how much you use.) Once you have mixed the ingredients, rub in a circular motion all over your body then rinse it off. The heat of our skin will melt the coconut oil.

There are so many other things that we can use on our skin that we can eat. For example there is an oatmeal bath (pour a couple cups in a warm bath)....mmmmm smooth and creamy for the skin! How about cucumber slices over your eyes....great for those who are on a computer all day. My favorite is an avocado and mayonnaise for a facial moisturizer. And finally, lemon as an astringent. Not only is this healthy for your skin, but if you add a little onion and cilantro you have guacamole!......Yummy!
