Skin Food

Taken from New Idea Magazine, have no idea which issue this is cause it's a torn-off page.
 
I wonder if the image is clear enough. Due to time constraints, I'll type only the headers and subheadings and little bits of pertinent info:
 
Every second beauty product on the market claims to be natural -- but is it? They may have natural extracts, but it is likely that synthetic substances are making them smell better and last longer. If you have sensitive skin or are concerned about chemicals, with a little time and energy your greengrocer could be your skin savior.
  • Moisturisers:
    Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Cocoa Butter (rich in fatty acids)

  • Masks:
    Avocado (vit b,c,e. mash and leave for 15 min, rinse off with warm water and flannel), cherries and strawberries (mash and smear on face, 10 mins. rich in vit A and C, brightens. remove berry stains with olive oil), potato (puree raw potato and apply as a mask, 15 min. tightening effect.)

  • Toners:
    Lemon (dilute with water before spraying over the face to tone pores. leave on.), Cloves (allowed to steep in mineral water and applied via an atomiser. antiseptic ability)

  • Eye treatments:
    Cucumber (cooled cucumber has a mild astringent effect)

  • Exfoliators:
    Pineapple (smooth it flesh side down over body then rinse off), Salt (mixed with olive oil. eliminates toxins)

  • Body Treatments:
    Milk (smooth a face washer soaked in milk over your body while standing in the bath)

  • Acne Treatments:
    Honey (antiseptic. dab an amount no larger than a five-cent piece, leave overnight), Watercress (cleansing. chop up, wrap in muslin. place in bowl of cool water, apply, let sit for 15 min)

  • Eczema Treatments:
    Oat (calms inflammation. pour into muslin washer and tie corners. immerse in bath then smooth over skin while bathing. avoid hot water.)
