Anyway, I make my own cleansing oil and it costs me pennies. Oils such as Olive, Sunflower, Corn, Safflower etc. are great. Just put a little bit in your palm, rub your hands together and massage over your face. Remove with a dampened cotton pad. You will be amazed by all the dirt that comes off. Alternately, you can apply oil on a water dampened cotton ball or pad. In my opinion, a dampened cotton pad works better than a dry one. Just try it for yourself. Wipe the pad all over your face. It is great for removing lipstick and eye makeup. If you wear heavy eye makeup, make sure that you let the pad sit on your eyes for about ten or more seconds or so and GENTLY wipe away.

I like to wash with a natural soap afterwards (I make my own) and then tone with homemade vinegar and water toner (one part vinegar to eight parts water). Sometimes I use full strength vinegar – but not everybody can!

I have not used any commercial skin care products for more than ten years – all are homemade. I am 48 years old and am often asked what I use on my skin. I love it when the young girls ask me what they should do about their skin. I should also add that lifestyle is very important (i.e. no alcohol, drugs or smoking, eating a healthing diet)
