HOMEMADE FACIAL PEELS

The following recipes are all from www.skincareresourcecenter.com

Skin Firming Peel

• 1 packet unflavored gelatin
• Juice of 1 lemon and 1 orange
• Heat together gently to dissolve the gelatin then let cool slightly

The gelatin has a softening effect on the
skin and as it dries will help firm and tone while the lemon and orange juice will exfoliate, stimulate and diminish hyperpigmentation.

Gentle Fruit Peel

• 1 cup fresh pineapple
• 1/2 cup fresh papaya
• 1 tablespoon honey
• Puree fruit together then add the honey and mix into a smooth paste

Pineapple and papaya contain natural
enzymes and alpha-hydroxy acids that remove dead skin cells while the honey
moisturizes the skin.

Youthful Skin Peel

• 1/4 cucumber, peeled and seeded
• 1 egg white
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Puree ingredients together until mixed well

The cucumber diminishes hyperpigmentation,
and reduces fine lines and wrinkles, the
egg white firms and tightens, and the
lemon juice exfoliates.

PH Restorative Peel

• 1 tomato, pulp only
• package unflavored gelatin
• 1 tablespoon orange juice
• Gently heat ingredients to dissolve gelatin, then puree until smooth

The tomato helps to restore the natural PH
of the skin and is an excellent natural
remedy for the treatment of blemishes.
The gelatin helps to firm and
tone the skin while the orange
juice exfoliates.

Skin Revitalizing Peel

• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp honey
• 1/8 cup fresh citrus (lemon, orange or lime) juice
• 1 packet plain gelatin
• Mix together thoroughly

The egg yolk moisturizes and firms, the
honey moisturizes and the citrus juice exfoliates the dead skin cells away, stimulating new cell production.

Hydrating and Moisturizing Peel

• 1/4 mashed avocado
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 egg white- beat until stiff
• Mix into a smooth paste

The egg white firms while the avocado
reduces hyperpigmentation, moisturizes,
and its' healing properties diminish scars.
