juice from 1/2 cucumber
juice from 1 tomato
1/2 teaspoon tumeric powder
1 teaspoon lemon juice
about 4 tablespoons finely powdered cornmeal

2. Add the turmeric powder and lemon juice the the liquid tomato juice or liquid cucumber juice.
   
   
3. Add the cornmeal a little at a time, stirring after each addition. Add just enough corn starch to make a thick paste.
   
   
4. To use, apply Natural Dark Circle Remover gently around your eyes using a soft cotton pad or the light touch of your ring finger. Gently rinse (without rubbing) with warm water.

simple strawberry face mask

ingredients:

2 large and very ripe strawberries
2 tablespoon finely ground oats
1 drop lemon essential oil

directions:

1. Rinse the strawberries and pat away excess water. Set one strawberry side. Using a small food processor, process the other strawberry until it is completely pulverized.
   
   
2. Add the oats and process further until the mixture is smooth. If it seems too watery (because you had an especially juicy strawberry!), add oats a little at a time, processing after each, until a smooth paste forms. You will see visible pieces of strawberry seeds which will aid in the skin treatment process.
   
   
3. The mixture should be paste-like but spreadable. Transfer to a small bowl and add the essential oil. Stir to combine.
   
   
4. Spread Strawberry Face Mask in a thick layer onto face and neck area (avoiding eyes and lips) with fingertips or a cosmetic brush. Rest for 15-20 minutes, while you eat the other juicy strawberry!
   
   
5. Rinse off with cool water. Follow with toner. Add moisturizer if desired, using a bit less if your skin is oily, or more if your skin is dry. Enjoy!
