Are the heat, sun exposure, and dry summer air making your skin look  like a piece of parchment? If so, then don’t panic. You can take some simple steps at home to transform your skin from a piece of parchment  to skin with a healthy glow. In this article we give you three simple recipes to exfoliate, cleanse, and nourish your skin.
>>> Healthy Skin Recipe #1: Exfoliant <<<
One of the keys to having glowing healthy skin is to remove all the dead or sun-damaged cells that have accumulated on your skin. You can make this simple skin scrub with ingredients you will find in your kitchen cupboard.

Mix 1 part cornmeal with 1 part organic oatmeal, and store in a sealed
container. (If you have sensitive skin, mix 1 part cornmeal with 2
parts organic oatmeal for a softer scrub.)

To use this mix, dampen your face (or any part of your skin you want
to exfoliate) with warm water. Pour a handful of the mixture in your
palm and gently rub it on your skin. If the mixture starts to feel too
dry, just add more warm water. After you are done scrubbing, rinse the
area with warm water, and then pat dry. Moisturize with an antioxidant
lotion. NutraBeautiful is an amazing restorative lotion. Glimpse and Burt’s Bees products are also wonderful.

Healthy Skin Recipe #2: Cleansing Mask <<<
Another key to having glowing skin, especially on your face, is to
cleanse and tighten your pores. A mask is the perfect way to do this.
This simple recipe works well, and gives you that requisite salon
“funny green face” look.

Mix 2 capsules of acidophilus, 2 capsules of enzymes, and 2 capsules
of blue-green algae with spring water to form a paste.

To use this recipe, apply it evenly over your face, paying special
attention to any problematic areas, such as the oily T-zone. Avoid
putting this paste around your eyes. Allow the paste to dry, and then
rinse with warm water. Pat dry and moisturize. The acidophilus and
enzymes will pull toxins and other pore-cloggers out of your skin,
while the blue-green algae provide direct nourishment to your skin
cells. This formula also works well on skin problems elsewhere on the
body, including feet that feel itchy from foot fungus.

Healthy Skin Recipe #3: Moisturizing and Soothing Mask <<<
If you have dry skin, this cooling mask is perfect for you. It will
soothe and moisturize your face, and is simple to use.

Mix the whites from 2 eggs with 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt. Be sure
to mix well.

To use this mixture, apply it to your face and leave it on for 2-4
minutes. Rinse well afterwards with warm water, and then pat dry with
a soft washcloth. Moisturize as needed, with lotion or creme from Glimpse.
