You will observe a smooth and even skin with a beautiful tone and mixture.

• Avocado Face Mask – For dry skin to be soft and smooth you can use avocado, lemon and non-fat powdered milk. To prepare, mash a large avocado in bowl. Then add 2 toss of lemon juice and about 4 to 6 toss of powdered milk that is non-fat. You may use mayonnaise as an alternative. Blend well until you make a smooth paste. Apply the paste to the face to form a mask and use the excess mixture on your arms, neck, nape and other surfaces of your skin that were regularly exposed to wind and sunlight. Let the mask stay for 15 minutes before going to sleep. Do this regularly every 2 to 3 days. After several weeks, you will observe a mark improvement on your skin. This mixture is also a good facial treatment. However, it is not applicable for those with oily skin.

• Honey exfoliates – As an exfoliate that can even out rough and blemished skin, use honey, egg whites, oatmeal, and non-fat powdered milk. To make a paste, mix together 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 egg white, ½ cup non-fat powdered milk, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Rub the paste vigorously on rough or blemished skin and allow it to stay for 5 to 10 minutes. Do this before taking a bath at least once or twice a week.

• Pandan Leaves Facial Treatment – A good skin toner, this mixture will improve the tone and texture of a tired dry skin. You can use as a facial wash a warm tea made from boiled panda leaves, a dash of anise seeds, with a few sprigs of mint, basil, and rosemary. Do this every now and then in the morning and evening.

Cuticle Remover and Softener

• Cuticle Remover – Due to irritation caused by overuse, the soles of our feet, our elbows, and sometimes the palms of our hands thicken and develop calluses. To make the skin smoother and remove the callus or thick skin, firmly rub the specified area with a mixture of crushed raw papaya and pineapple in the evening. Do this daily or every other day for at least a month.

• Cuticle Softener – To soften the cuticles of your fingers and toe nails, so it can be easily removed, make a solution of 1 tablespoon vinegar or baking soda to a cup of water. Soak your nails on this solution for a few minutes before trimming.

More Body Odor Tips

• Scalp, Foot and Armpit Odor Remover – Rinse your scalp or rub your armpit with a solution of 2 cups of vinegar to ½ cup water and 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Allow it to dry for a few minutes before rinsing it with warm water. Also massage feet while being soaked with the same solution. Let it dry for 5 minutes then rinse with warm water. If done twice a week, this solution will also whiten armpit and feet.

Portable Spa

• Herbal Bath - For a soothing herbal bath that will relax your mind and body, prepare 2-4 cups mint leaves chopped coarsely, rosemary, minced; 1 cup chamomile leaves, chopped coarsely; 2 cups rose petals, minced; ½ cup fresh oregano leaves, chopped coarsely; a few drops of tea rose oil; 2 quarts boiling water; 6-8 quasars warm water.

Procedure: After mixing together mint, rosemary, oregano, chamomile leaves and rose petals in a clean container, preferably clay, ceramic or enamel-coated, pour boiling water and allow to drench for 30 minutes. Strain the liquid with warm water then add drops of tea rose oil for bathing or after rinsing. To relax yourself before having a massage, you can also double or triple the recipe and use it while you submerge yourself in the bathtub for about 15 minutes.

As an alternative, you can replace rose petals with coarsely chopped 2 cups of orange peel with tea rose oil and 6 toss of orange rind. And as replacement for oregano, use 2 cups of crushed eucalyptus leaves. For tea rose oil, use a few drops of eucalyptus oil. Depending on your preference and mood, you can do variations.
