Natural Body Recipes
Eye Make-up Remover: Mix one tablespoon of castor oil with one tablespoon olive oil, jojoba oil
, or coconut oil
. Wipe the mixture on with a tissue, wait a minute or so, then wipe.
Facial Scrub: Put uncooked oatmeal through the blender, but stop before it is a powder. Wet your face and hands with warm water, massage the oatmeal over your wet skin, then rinse with cool water.
Facial Mask: Add two tablespoons of honey to half a cup of uncooked oatmeal, and apply this to your face. Rinse off after a half hour.
Nail Whitener: Dip your fingers into a small dish of hydrogen peroxide
. Rinse your fingers afterwards.

Age Spot Lightener #1: Dab areas with undiluted Natural Apple Cider Vinegar
and leave on overnight. You can add a bandage to keep the area moist longer.
Age Spot Lightener #2: Mix Natural Apple Cider Vinegar with an equal amount of lemon juice and apply. Don't rinse it off.
Pimple Remover #1: Dab white toothpaste (not gel) or Milk of Magnesia directly onto pimple before bedtime, giving it time to dry. Keep on overnight. A pimple that is just an itch or pain under the skin will go away. A new pimple will shrink and may even be gone by morning. (See more in the "Pimples" section on our home remedies site.)
Pimple Remover #2: Wash and rinse your face before bedtime. Onto damp skin, dab a mixture of one part Natural Apple Cider Vinegar and three parts water with a cotton ball. Don't rinse this off. Your skin will be super soft, and much clearer by morning. A forehead full of very small blemish bumps should be all clear in one or two days. (See more on Acne on our home remedies site.)
Deodorant #1: Half Natural Apple Cider Vinegar and half water. Put on wet or dry skin. (The vinegar smell will not last.)
Deodorant #2: Strong black tea. Put on wet or dry skin.
Deodorant #3: A tablespoon of baking soda
mixed with a teaspoon of cornstarch
. Put on damp skin.
Deodorant #4: Sage leaf
. Put on wet or dry skin.
To rub under your eyes, go from the end of your eyebrow toward your nose or you'll encourage wrinkles. Dab on moisturizer instead of rubbing it in under the eyes.
