Cleanse, Tone, Moisturize…the Natural Way!

Cleansing, toning and moisturizing are the 3 essential steps to healthy skin care. Here, we’ve broken down 3 super easy recipes for the skin that take care of these steps the simple and natural way.

Step 1: CLEANSE

Tomato & Almond Cleanser

This terrific recipe allows oily skin to be cleansed and renewed while getting rid of any unwanted grease. You see, tomatoes are wonderful, natural, deep-cleaning agents that provide a quick cleansing to our skin’s clogged pores. The crushed almonds quickly absorb excess oil while naturally exfoliating your skin.

1/2 small organic tomato
2-3 oz. of blanched, skinless almonds

1. By way of blender, food processor or coffee bean grinder, blend almonds until they become small crumbs. Rinse apparatus.
2. Peel tomato, removing skin, then pulse in blender.
3. Add small spoonfuls of crushed almonds until nice paste is formed.
4. Apply to face and allow for it to set for 25-30 minutes.
5. Rinse mask from face with warm water and washcloth and seal cleansed skin with a splash of cool water.
6. Disregard any excess.

STEP 2: TONE

Mango & Yogurt Toner

Mangos are well-known to be a vitamin-enriched food that when applied topically, can also leave skin fair, soft and with a healthy glow. Plain yogurt is slightly acidic and can act as the perfect agent to return your skin to a healthy balance.

1/2 cup of an organic mango (mashed)
1 teaspoon of organic, plain yogurt

1. Mix both ingredients together thoroughly.
2. Apply mixture to face gently with fingertips.
3. Allow to set for 15-20 minutes.
4. Rinse with warm water and washcloth and seal toned skin with a cool splash of water.
5. Disregard any excess.

STEP 3: MOISTURIZE

Honey & Avocado Mask

Both honey and avocados are terrific moisturizers and when combined together, they act as superb moisturizing superheros for our dry skin.
