Try aqueous cream with 10 % olive oil. I have been using it for years and it is very cheap. Aqueous cream is available for about AU$13.from chemist and olive oil from your kitchen. You can use it as moisturizer, soap, and make up removal.

Half an avocado with an egg yolk, mash together and place onto clean fresh skin, leave for 20 minutes, wash off with cool to tepid water. This will not only freshen skin and leave you feeling fresh it will replace vitamins you have lost through over use of animal fats in soaps.
Use the other half of the avocado with the egg white whisk egg white to a froth in single bowl, mash avocado in separate bowl when egg white is whisked enough place together and mix well, place onto face and leave 20 to 30 minutes, wash off with cool to tepid water, this will leave your skin rehydrated and fresh.

Ingredients: Rose Water (see recipe below), Sweet Almond Oil, Beeswax Pick rose petals (3/4 of a mug) infuse in water and leave for 5 days in a warm sunny spot (a window is most suitable) Strain and keep the water.
1. Warm 3/4 of mug of sweet almond oil with 3/4mug of beeswax gently in a basin over a pot of simmering water (like melting chocolate) don't let get too hot, the slower the better stirring gently. 2. Warm the rosewater in a separate pot gently. 3. Add rosewater to first mix and whisk vigorously for 5 minutes. 4. If you want extra boost for dry skin take a vitamin E tablet and burst into mixture. 5. You should be left with a cream coloured moisturiser. 6. Add 3 drops of lavender, and 1 drop of rose or sandalwood essential oils.
Store in fridge....

Honey turns into sugar, not literal poison, when boiled. This guy has details: http://lifestyle.aol.ca/article/Healthy-Foodie-Honey/31913/

Maria, I could find NO evidence in any reputable source of honey becoming toxic when boiled and have NEVER heard of that. And honey is heated to very high temperatures in baked products all the time with no toxic effects - so I am curious how valid this is. Please, what is your source for that information? Thanks

I just use plain Extra Virgin Olive Oil! I use it every night and wake up with soft, smooth, silky and literally glowing skin! It works wonderfully on my dry skin and absorbs very quickly. If you're not so crazy about the scent, you can just add a few drops of essential oils to make it smell nicer, but I'm alright with the scent. Besides, the smell does go away within a couple of minutes. It's cheap, natural and probably sitting in your kitchen cupboard right now! (You should use Extra Virgin because it's least processed, meaning all the good 'stuff' is still in it, meaning more nourishment and it'll work more effectively)

Oh, another thought; being a "shower" (as opposed to "bath") person, I keep a plastic squeeze bottle (like a ketchup/mustard dispenser) filled with some kind of vegetable oil, scented with a bit of essential oil, in the bathroom, and use just a bit, overall, while I'm still wet...great for winter!

i use virgin coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil. a little goes a long way! for lips, dab with raw honey and let set. it will mostly soak in if your lips are really dry. great for cold sores too. you can add a couple of cups of whole milk or milk and cream to your bath. to that you can add a half to one cup of honey. pat your skin dry. don't use anything with a petroleum base if you can help it. anything you put on your skin eventually ends up in your body in minute amounts. that is the theory behind all these patches of medicines we see these days. that said...the closer to natural, non man-made the better.

I use the shea butter mixed with a small amount of natural coconut oil. For aroma I will add a few drops of almond oil or some other essential oil. This truely will moisture and not leave an oily film.

Go to the dollar store and buy a large bottle of baby lotion (dollar store brand) a small jar of vaseline, and a jar of vitamin e cream. mix all and put in containers ( i use funnel and put back in original containers.) If too greasy, you can use 2 bottles of baby lotion. This is great for moisturizer, cheap, and lasts a loooong time.

I buy pure (and not chemically processed) shea butter from www.womensgold.com, mix it with a bit of "carrier" oil (such as sunflower or almond), and use it year-round. It is amazing; it is the only moisturizer I will use, and my son, daughter, and son-in-law are hooked, too.

I wash with ivory soap, moisturise with Johnson's 24 hour moisture lotion and use extra virgin olive oil when I get really dry. I will dab it on my face, elbows and knees as needed. If I feel really dry and itchy I add some to my bath. I stand up before the bath drains and I am covered in a light layer of moisture that I only pat dry. Hope this helps....
