Image via WikipediaDo you have oily skin? Have you tried expensive, store-bought products that didn't really help, or caused irritation? Well, here is a gentle, natural facial cleanser, made with ingredients you already have in your kitchen that really works!The magic ingredients are lemon, yogurt and cornmeal. Lemon with its astringent properties controls oil production. Yogurt soothes and hydrates the skin. Cornmeal buffs away dry skin cells that can cause blemishes.
All you need to do is combine 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1/4 cup of yogurt and 1/4 cup of cornmeal. Gently massage it into freshly washed skin and leave it on for 5-10 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water and pat your skin dry with a clean, soft towel.
If you have any left over, you can keep it in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed jar for 2-4 days.
