Recipe 1: Milk Cream, Sandalwood and Turmeric Face Pack

- Sandalwood has cooling and skin tightening properties
- Milk cream nourishes your skin
- Turmeric is known for its anti-bacterial and skin brightening properties
Preparation
Take one tablespoon sandalwood powder, a pinch of turmeric powder and one tablespoon milk cream. (Boil some milk for about ten minutes and let it cool for sometime, you will be able to see a thick layer of cream on the top). Mix it together and apply on your face. Rinse off after fifteen minutes
Note: Turmeric can stain your cloth so make sure you don’t wear any light colored cloth while applying this mask.
Recipe 2: Coffee and Plum Exfoliator
- Coffee exfoliates and revitalizes your skin and has anti aging properties
- Plum is another effective antioxidant
So this combination of coffee and plum works great in getting rid of the oldest dead skin cells and makes a wonderful anti aging exfoliator.

Take one tablespoon fine ground coffee and mix it with 3 mashed plums and one teaspoon honey. Apply it on your face and gently scrub off after ten minutes.

Green Tea and Chamomile is a very effective anti aging toner. This toner not only takes care of signs of aging but also soothes puffy eyes and lightens your complexion.

Boil one cup water and steep one green tea bag and one Chamomile tea bag. Let it cool for sometime. Apply it on your face with the help of a cotton ball. Do NOT rinse.
If you follow these recipes religiously it can easily take 10-15 years off your face!

These recipes look amazing. I am sure going to try them out. I have one question: Can we use these face packs around eyes to remove wrinkles/crow’s feet around eyes? If so, doea that mean we can apply these face packs on the whole face even eye area?
I would appreciate your response.
Thanks!
Hi Anna,
I would not suggest exfoliating your eye area as it is the most delicate part of your skin. If you are looking for a recipe specially for crow’s feet then try massaging your eye area with rosehip seed oil mixed with castor oil or sweet almond oil. You can even rub some fresh lemon wedges directly on your crow’s feet to get rid of crow’s feet.
Hope it helps:)
Thanks Anna for helping with this question and your tips.

Sure worth a try, sounds better than surgery.
Thanks Kathleen, for taking the time to comment. I hope you’ll visit often a give us your feedback. It’s greatly appreciated.
Hello all – I would like to say that I tried Estee Lauder Creme de la Mer its it did NOTHING for my skin.
It is very expensive at $165 for 2 ounces! It was supposedly to heal burns received in an accident; The reality is that this very chemical laden cream doesn’t contain anything particularly extraordinary ingredients. In fact, the majority of ingredients can be found in CVS-Brand Moisturizers.
For long term effect on wrinkles and a treatment that naturally aided my skin, I used the Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum from the Made from Earth skin care line. This serum uses natural organic ingredients to improve your skin cells around your eyes and I have already seen a MAJOR DIFFERENCE AROUND MY EYES.
In 3 days around my eyes, I have seen a reduction in the fine lines. . You can actually feel it working right after you put it on. . . .I highly recommend it as an EX-crème de la mer user….and a woman who is healthy…and a woman who is tired of all the different expensive creams out that that make promises that they do not live up to….you can find them at madefromearth.com.
I recently switched to only using face creams that contain real plants, fruits and/or juices. No more chemicals for me! Chemicals in skincare products will cause your skin to sag in the long run. That’s because those chemicals don’t belong there and impact your skins elasticity.
Thanks Paula for sharing your story. I’m pleased to learn you found a product that worked for you.
I do hope you’ll visit often and continue to share your thoughts.
Your recipes sound Wonderful. I am sick of buying products that don’t live up to there promises/expectations.
I am very excited to give yours a go.
Thank you very much for sharing.

I’m having trouble finding sandlewood powder. Is there an alternative ingredient I can use instead?
Thanks for your comment and question Laura. I was able to find several sources for sandalwood powder on eBay.
