Keep Your Skin Healthy

lotionExfoliating: Once a week, cleanse your face with oatmeal mixed with a small amount of water. Massage gently and rinse thoroughly. Pat your face dry and apply a moisturizer.

Moisturizing: Always apply moisturizer when your face and body are slightly damp. This helps prevent evaporation of moisture from the skin. Use a lightweight skin moisturizer during the day, and a heavier cream at night when sleeping.

Makeup Removing: Apply vegetable shortening to your face and then wipe off. It works well and is very economical.

Astringent: Mix 1/2 cup water and 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar, add 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar. Shake well before each use, and apply with a cotton ball.
