DIY Beauty: Do it Yourself Citrus Beauty Recipes for Your Skin


Grapefruit Toning Facial Mask

This recipe is especially great for those with oily/combination skin. The citrus juices from the grapefruit exfoliates and eliminates extra oil that may accrue over the days time. Oh, and it smells

great, too! Here's what you need to gather:

1 tsp. Grapefruit juice

2 teaspoons honey

6 ounces plain yogurt

8-10 almonds

1 tablespoon rice

Once you've got everything together, combine the ingredients in a blender. Blend on high for 1-2 minutes. If you notice that there are large chunks of almonds left then blend again. It may help to crush the almonds pre-blending!

Wash your face with your normal cleanser and pat dry. Apply a generous amount of the mixture to your face and spread it evenly. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes or until it has hardened. Rinse with warm water. Make sure you remove everything - you don't want yogurt residue on your face! Splash your face with cold water to tighten pores and then gently pat dry.


Cream Cheese / Orange Facial Spread


I love this recipe because if you have any left over it makes a perfect spread for a toasted bagel! It's a refreshing, creamy blend of goodness that does wonders to your face. Here's what you need:

1 small-medium sized orange

½ teaspoon lemon juice

1 tsp. honey

2 ounces cream cheese (soft)
