 We all want to have beautiful healthy skin, the problem is that the products you can buy are so expensive. If you want to have great looking skin but cant afford the top products why not make some. This article will give you some tips on improving your skin in the kitchen.

It is hard to believe but there are actually a lot of products that we have in our own kitchen that are great for our skin. The best thing about them is they cost you a fraction of the price of shop bought products and can actually be just as good for your skin. Most of the products you will already have in your cupboards or they can be picked up for a very low price at the supermarket.

If you want to relax you skin then there is a very easy way to do it. Simply put a camomile tea bag and some spearmint in a pan of water and bring to the boil. Once the water has boiled, remove from the heat and place the water in a bowl. Place you your head over the bowl and put a towel over your head to make a tent and keep the vapours in. If you then inhale the vapours coming from the water for around 15 minutes you should find you skin is relaxed and clear.

You can make yourself a great cleanser at home with cider vinegar. Just simply mix one part cider vinegar with 2 parts water and you have your cleanser. To apply it just use a cotton wool ball and dip it in the mixture and then rub across your face. Just continue to apply the cleanser until the cotton wool comes off clean. You will then find you have clean and fresh skin.

You can use coffee grounds as a great exhfoliator and it is really simple to do. Simply make yourself a cup of fresh coffee and use the left over grounds. Just rub them into your face and then rinse off with warm water. You will find this really helps to clean up and close your pores.

If you have tired or slightly puffy eyes you can use cucumber to deflate them. This is an age old trick and is really cheap and easy to do. Just place a slice of cucumber over each eye and lie back and relax for a few minutes. When you are done just throw the cucumber slices away and you will have fresh looking eyes.

The best thing you can use for a body lotion is safflower oil. For your face use a very small amount but you can use more on the rest of your body. You will soon find that you have smooth, soft skin all over your face.

There are plenty of things that you can use from your kitchen cupboards, you just need to do a little research. One of the best things to use is avocado, softened and mixed with a little lemon juice makes a great face mask. There is so much goodness in avocado that you will find a lot of it get absorbs into your skin. Be imaginative and find out the products with the best qualities to use. Remember good skin care does not need to be expensive.

 If you suffer from oily skin you are probably looking for ways in which to control the oil production and keep your skin looking fresh. The aim of this article is to give you some advice and tips on how to care for your oily skin.

The first thing to note is to stay away from any products that make claims about drying out your skin. This is not a good route to go down. The main reason for this is that the oil that you see is produced by glands under the skin and it is the brain that instructs these glands to produce oil. If you use something that removes all the oil and dries out your skin your brain will think there is something wrong. As a result your brain will instruct your glands to produce more oil and you will probably be in a worse situation than when you started.

The next thing to remember is to keep your skin as clean as possible and the best way to do this is to use a cleanser at least twice a day. It is best to use a light cleanser to avoid any striping down affect of the skin. It is a good idea to use a foaming cleanser or something you can wash off as this will help to keep your skin looking clean and fresh. Avoid the thick and heavy milky cleansers as these will not clean your skin in the way you need and will only help to bog down your skin.

After you cleanse it is a good idea to use a moisturiser but stay away from the thick heavy moisturisers. Use a very light one that will lift your skin and only give your skin a very thin colouring. If you cleanse your face more than once a day, try to us your moisturiser only once to reduce the build up on the skin.

If you are applying make up, stay away from any foundations or face make up that is oil based. This will only make your problem worse by adding more oil to your skin. To reduce the appearance of the oil you can use a loose translucent powder and apply it regularly throughout the day.

It is a good idea to regularly exfoliate your skin as this will help to clear out your pores, remove dead skin cells and add extra life to your skin. A product that contains salicylic acid can be great as it is oil soluble so will have a great affect on your skin.

We would also recommend using a clay face mask twice a week. These are deep cleaning masks that you usually have to leave on for at least 10 minutes. These are great for cleaning out your pores as well as getting rid of blackheads.

Finally we would like to say that you should not worry if you have oily skin. Firstly your skin tends to get dryer as you get older so your problem will reduce with age. Also it is dry skin that tends to suffer from wrinkles more. So if you have oily skin your chance of staying young looking is much greater than you friends you have dryer skin than you. Remember there is always a positive to everything and as long as you look after your skin properly there is nothing to worry about.
