Moisturizing orange face mask. Hey, pretty face! If you’re anything like me, you are a fan of having clear skin. Clear skin = happy skin = happy me. You’re probably wondering why I’m talking about skin and your face. I know some stuff, dudes. I’m really into making things from scratch. Since your skin is your body’s largest organ (sorry, boys), what you put on it is as important as what you put into it, right?

I’ve been making my own homemade masks, exfoliants, face scrubs, hair masks, body polishes and the like since then, and I’ve decided to launch a new section on the site devoted to homemade natural beauty products. Anyhow, this orange face mask is amaaaazing for adding moisture and radiance to your face. Freshly squeezed orange juice is packed full of zinc and antioxidants, which your face loves a whole lot. Plus, if some of this mask accidentally drips into your mouth, you can totally just eat it.

How to Make Your Own Beauty Products from Scratch - Lifestyle. Let's keep things simple this week. When it comes to personal-care products, we are big believers in streamlining what you use—see "Eight Products You Think You Need But Don't" for a refresher—buying less in general, and getting creative.

Or that the mild acidity in lemon is an effective—and gentler—alternative to chemical-laden products? Next time your locks need a lift, save money by using one of these kitchen fixes. For All Hair Types "The [raw] egg is really the best of all worlds," says Janice Cox, author of Natural Beauty at Home.

The yolk, rich in fats and proteins, is naturally moisturizing, while the white, which contains bacteria-eating enzymes, removes unwanted oils, she explains.
