Re: Homemade Skin Care Products

No problem. I think homemade skin care products are fun and fresh. They

also keep the cost down. Most of these recipies are very economical.

Hope you all enjoy,

Hi Kareemah,

I already tried the one you gave yesterday for the all purpose scrub. I

didn't have sunflower seeds so I substituted walnuts. It was a little messy

putting all that food on my face, but I did really like the results. Thanks,
