Homemade Cucumber Facial Cleanser

This is a gentle cleanser for dry skin.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Cucumber
  • 1/2 Cup Whole Milk

Directions:

Peel cucumber and liquify it in a blender or food processor. Use some cheese cloth to strain the seeds out of the cucumber. Then put the cucumber and milk into a bottle or jar. You will need to refrigerate this solution in between uses. It will keep for 5 to 7 days. Don't use it if it smells like it has turned and pretest it on your arm if you have not used this cleanser before.

I was really surprised that it worked for my skin. It's great though! Love it!

any fruit works, really, as long as it has vitamins and you're not allergic to it. I either blend it, 2 make a paste (with yogurt), or i puree. Cucumbers are terrific because they have many nutrients.

I made this basil toner. It's real simple. Use cheese cloth, if u dont have that, a small piece of a cotton cloth will work. Use a Tablespoon on basil and place it on the cloth, then close up the piece of fabric, rubberband it shut. Place in boiling water, do this for about 5 minutes or so. Then take the basil bag out and let the mixture cool. Place in an empty bottle. It has a great shelf life. It helps pull all the nasty stuff outta your pours.
