Smooth Skin 101
May 4, 2003, 00:10

Hydrating, firming, smoothing. All words that we want to not only hear but feel when it comes to our face! Some of my best tips for all of those are really very simple to create and use. Feeding your body from the inside is extremely important, however we can also feed our bodies from the outside, too!

A firming mask that is wonderfully hydrating as well, is my egg and honey mask. Take one egg white and approximately two tablespoons of honey (or until mixture is thick enough to spread) whip up and smooth all over face and throat. Rest quietly for about 15 minutes and rinse well with warm water and a soft cloth. Your skin will be hydrated and temporarily tightened as well, it is a great little instant face lift for an evening out or a busy day of meetings and appointments.

For peaches and cream skin, you can use just that! When in season take a fresh peach crush to make pulpy, add to fresh cream (half & half or whipping cream before whipped is great)! Mix together in a bowl, apply to your face and throat, relax for a few minutes and wash with lots of water. Your skin will feel smoother and even have a bit of a glow. It tastes good, too!

Another great exfoliator for your face is oatmeal and cream. Pour a small amount of cream or half & half into a bowl, add enough uncooked oatmeal to make a spreadable paste and lightly scrub your face and throat. Rinse well with warm water and then a splash of cold. Your face will radiate and all those dead skin cells will be sloughed away.

An excellent follow up for all of these yummy at home remedies is Deneane's Moisture Balance moisturizer. Filled with vitamins and healing botanicals it helps to nourish, hydrate, firm and calm all skin types. Have a great day and all the best to you!
