Below are five simple recipes and basic steps that must be taken to maintain the beauty of the skin, in addition to more additional skin care tips .
Note: Always know your facial skin type – such as dry, oily or combination – so you can use the right products. Then do a patch test if you are applying the product to your face for the first time.
Five steps to basic skin care
1- Cleansing - done daily will get rid of all daily dirt, excess natural oils and any makeup.
2- Steaming – Doing it weekly helps open the pores for deep cleaning, and it also increases blood circulation.
3- Facial mask: Make a facial mask periodically, as it helps remove dirt and oils deep within the pores. It will also help replenish essential vitamins and minerals.
4 - Even skin tone - Gentle skin toning can be done daily to help tighten pores and give you an even skin appearance
5 - Moisturizing - Daily moisturizing helps replenish lost moisture and also provides a protective layer against harsh elements.
Skin care recipes
1. 2 tablespoons organic apple cider vinegar.
2. 2 tablespoons distilled water.
3. Mix the ingredients together/apply using a facial cotton/then rinse with mild water and leave it to dry gently.
2 - Steam - for oily and acne-prone skin, do a facial steam with lavender and the preparation method is:
1. 6 drops of lavender essential oil.
2. Approximately 1 gallon of boiling water.
3. In a large pot filled with almost boiling water, add the essential oil or cover your head with a towel, and once you determine that the water is not too hot, place your face over the pot of water and oil – about 12 inches away. For about 10 minutes, then gently dry your face.
3- Facial mask for all skin types. Use honey. Since honey is a natural humectant, it can attract and retain moisture in your skin. The antioxidant properties of honey help protect the skin from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. Dark honey is stronger and the method of preparation is as follows:
1. Always clean your face before making any face mask. Next, warm the honey to make it more liquid. Gently apply to your face and neck without pulling (use your hands for better control, but you can use a spoon) / relax, and leave the mask on for about 15 minutes. Wash with warm water then spray with cold water. Leave it until it dries.

1 - Rose water and moisturizing glycerin recipe.
2 - 2 tablespoons rose water.
