Skin Care

Topics: Bathing, Beauty

I noticed how expensive skin care is in Japan and it doesn't work so well for my skin. However here are some tips for those who want to save money and look good.

Glowing skin and smoother texture that also cleans the stomach...

Lemon juice in water, but enough so that you pucker your lips somewhat when you drink it: 2 tablespoons with a cup of water 2 times a day does the trick. Also you can rub the lemon juice on your skin to clean up the oil and dirt and also as an antiseptic. (Be careful that you haven't recently scratched your face as it can hurt like h*ll if you put the lemon on it.)

Also oatmeal packs are good for the skin texture and removing dead skin.

olive oil rubbed on the face does a good job too and you can combine that with the lemon if you want to lessen the strength of the lemon.

I have no info on natural moisturizers now but I'm looking because it's so expensive in Japan.

Also, for the ladies, I started this group:
