ubure Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Okay, this is a cry for help!I'm 36 now, and I've neglected my skin badly during the last years. Now I'm determined to do something before it's too late.As I have no experience in making b&b stuff I'd like to aks if you have some spectacular recipes for creams, scrubs, masks etc. for my eyes and my face (rather sensible skin with pimples on my skin, my cheeks, my throat). maybe somebody could make such products for me?I don't care how exclusive and expensive the ingredients may be (okay, I almost don't care - let's see) but I want something that helps to reduce my eye wrinkles, that makes my pores smaller and clearer etc. etc.OH, I FORGOT MY DÉCOLLETÉ!! I want to look like a 20 year-old!!Also, if someone thinks she has THE product for me, tell me!!! If you can convince me, I'll buy it!!Thank you,Inez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Wow, tall orderI can only tell you what I have been using for the past month or so I am 47 with oily skin with breakouts usually the nasty kind /cysticok I have tried oil cleansing method , alot of sotre brand facial cleansers and was not for me...still had cystic acne.so I know honey and sugar are great for your skin so i created face scrub recipe with these things in mind and also added teatree and peppermint oilhttp://www.candletech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54059&highlight=sugarbeeyou can tweak this by adding more liquid soap or shower gel to your desired consistancy...the key to washing with this is to put on dry face and rub in to exfoiliate and when you prefer less exf. you can wet your hands and rub in for about a whole minute , then rinse with a soft clothas for wrinkles i have a lotion but cannot sell it as of yet but not sure it qualifies as antiwrinkle but makes me feel like I lood great.hope this was helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubure Posted August 5, 2007 Author Share Posted August 5, 2007 Hi Katshe,thank you for posting your tips! It is so nice to share your recipe with me, and I'm excited to try a few things....I did make a mask with only honey, but my skin was so soft afterwards, so I'm sure your scrub will be great!

katshe Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 let me know how you like it , I totally love it cause my skin has never been clearerjust a note here: I put this face scrub in a squeeze bottle with a flip top I bought at walgreens, its a 3oz bottle so I bought a few...I also used a all natrual liquid soap this time and still turned out the same as with shower gelI also used 4 tbls of that liquid soap to make it a smidge thinner.i think I added more ewax alsoI hope this isn't too confusing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I got everything out and was going to try this one but I can't find where I hid my honey so the kids wouldn't use it all What does the honey do in this recipe? Can it be omitted or replaced with something else? If it will make or break the recipe, I will wait until I go to the store and buy honey. *sigh* loloops, I meant to post this under the recipe thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 no do not leave honey out is is great for helping skin retain moisture and it's an antimicrobial agent and can aide in skin rejuvenation.I believe honey is the most important ingredient here.

Jami Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Thanks katshe! I got out in our 110 degree heat today just to go get some honey. Does that mean I am a full fledge addict?

The_Dallas_Texas_Dean Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 There is nothing on the market that actually minimizes pores. There are MANY things on the market that makes the pores APPEAR smaller. ( ie. glycolic acids, papaya enzyme masks etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katshe Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Thanks katshe! I got out in our 110 degree heat today just to go get some honey. Does that mean I am a full fledge addict? I will be trying this tomorrow. I will let you know how it comes out Jami, can't wait to hear how you like this scrub. This B & b stuff is so exciting and rewardingI just made hubby some shave creamy lotion and he loves it, It took me three days of research to build a recipe that I thought would work and for him to actually use it and say it's nice, feels like all that research was worth it.only thing is I wish I could make it foamy natrually, but I think the only thing I can add to that recipe would be sls and that is not a natrual product. or I guess I could make a shaving soap but again more researchEnjoy you face scrub and let me know how you like it.
