Home Facial 1

During the spa parties that I work, I offer 2 types of complimentary facials. One is an avocado yogurt facial (containing: avocado, plain greek yogurt, fresh squeezed lemon juice) and the other is a honey, oatmeal facial (containing: honey, a splash of milk and ground oatmeal). They are easy, safe for all skin types and really good for you! I am a big fan of DIY fresh facials, so I thought it might be a nice idea to share some good recipes I find here and there. In these difficult economic times, not many people can justify a trip to the spa.
