I LOVE the aspirin/honey mask. I leave the mask on for at least 10 mins (but sometimes I just sit on the computer and will leave it on for like an hour).....then I SCRUB it as I am rinsing it off of my face. My face feels super super smooth afterwards, as opposed to the normal little bumps of like blackheads. It feels so good that you want to do it like everyday, but I have heard that you should only do it like twice a week. I prefer to do it on a night when I know that I am going out, so my skin feels extra smooth/clean when I apply a face full of makeup 
Also I have been using vaseline as a moisturizer on my face. Yes. Vaseline. I do have very oily skin (well I use to before I started doing the OCM-oil cleansing method).....but I have found that using the TINIEST bit of vaseline (like the size of a pea or 2) is a great moisturizer. I make sure to blot my face with a towel afterwards so my face isnt shiny (and it WILL be if you dont).
OCM-Oil cleansing method (www.theoilcleansingmethod.com) has seriously changed my life! Hands down.
And I know this isnt a recipe or anything, but I have really found that something that makes the world of difference in my skin....tanning. (NO HATERS please!) Tanning def clears up my skin.

Joan Crawford recommended a half castor oil and half vaseline mixture to stimulate eyebrow and lashes growth.
I used to do this.. a few days after, I had blurred vision. Ended up needing glasses.

Lips: I use a mix of honey, olive oil and sugar, I rub it over my lips to exfoliate then wipe away to sugar to leave the rest, it's super moisturising!
Face: I mix a half cup of oats, a half cup of milk and a table spoon of honey for an exfoliator and follow up with plain old sorbolene because I have super sensitive skin. Also a nice tightening and brightening masque is to just put egg-white all over your face until it dries and then wash away with warm water!
Body: Just sugar and olive oil, it's as simple as that!
Hair: I like to use 2 table spoons of extra virgin olive oil heated for my hot oil treatments and for just a moisturising mask I mix one egg with and avocado and 1tbs of extra virgin olive oil, apply and leave for a half an hour to an hour.

Coconut oil FTW!
I use it for so many things... removing my makeup, moisturing my body (and especially cuticles!), putting it in the ends of my hair after straightening, shaving my legs, and making body scrubs.
I also love bentonite clay for face masks. You can mix it with anything you want. I personally love water, apple cider vinegar, and a few drops of tea tree oil.

I love making body care recipes at home. I love making body scrubs it lessens the cellulite in my skin. Coffee grounds are the best it makes my skin smooth and soft. It also lessens the appearance of my cellulite. Coffee has antioxidants and it is good for the skin.

I tried the DIY lip stain. I use lip stains almost everyday, it occured to me, why not do my own lip stain? I searched the net for DIY lip stain method and it brought me to this site, http://goo.gl/HDnKhh. Their methods are simple and easy to follow and the finished product is actually effective.

Homemade recipes is actually fun to do, especially if you found out the your DIY recipe in actually working. Plus, you are sure that the ingredients are safe for your skin because you are the one making you skin care. Good luck on your first recipe.

Mine is bodycare. 125g unrefined shea butter melt in double saucepan and add 1 tablespoon jojoba oil, remove from heat, place in a clean container (that has a lid), but continue stirring occasionally until mixture solidifies again. Place lid on and store in cool place. Mine is on my bathroom shelf. Great and very reasonably priced body, foot & hand cream. I love shea butter!

I got a natural Japanese silk facial treatment mask from Essenzza Health and it has three varieties. My current favorite is their anti-aging mask with carrot seed and coconut oil. Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer and it has Vitamin E which is good for the skin while carrot seed has beta carotene which helps prevent premature skin aging like blemishes, wrinkles, pimples, etc.
