Use what you have
Homemade skin recipes are really no-fail. Build your own products by mixing ingredients together according to the skin care goal(s) you want to achieve. Once you know what products achieve what outcome you can play with mixing different ingredients until you get a desired result. Remember that every one's skin is different so what works the best for you may not work as well for your best friend.
Note: Drinking the recomended 8-10 glasses of water per day is crucial for youthful, healthy skin.
