The Fountain Of Youth doesn't exist, but that doesn't mean you can't create one at home. As you get older, the after years of sun exposure and personal habits really begin to take it's toll on your face. Normal face cleansers just won't cut it anymore. Luckily, there is a face cleaning regimen that you can adopt with natural ingredients found right at home. The advantages to using homemade ingredients are many, including natural and safe ingredients and being able to create a face cream that works best for your skin. In order to maintain a youthful glow to your skin, incorporate these easy to make and natural beauty products into your daily routine.

Face Scrub

Now ever before it is important to wash your face once a day. This is remove dirt and the bad oil that builds up on your skin throughout every day life. In order to make your face look younger and healthier is to provide the skin with natural antioxidants. A great source for antioxidants is found in walnuts and yogurt. The walnuts, full of their own antioxidants, will work as a buffer to remove the bad oils and will remove dead skin, leaving your skin looking fresh and with a healthy glow. Yogurt is full of lactic acid which does wonders to your skin. Lactic acid will shrink your pores, making it harder for dirt to get stuck inside. Dirt gets stuck in larger pores and that's how you get black heads.

To make this mask you just need two crushed walnuts mixed in with two tablespoons of plain yogurt. With two fingers, gently massage the scrub into your skin, avoiding the your eyes. You can massage the scrub into your skin and the biggest problem areas you have for two to five minutes before you rinse your face with lukewarm water.

Oil Reducer

Some oils on your face are important to keep your skin hydrated. If you use a product that removes oil, you will find that your face is very dry, especially if you are moving on in your years because it is harder for your skin to hold onto the good oils. Instead of using and oil remover, you want to use an oil reducer. To do this, you can create a facial mask made of lemon juice and egg whites. The egg whites will pull out the oils as it dries on your face while the lemon juice acts as an astringent, making it harder for bad oils to stick.

Making this mask is really easy because all you need is one egg white beat into five drops of lemon juice. Apply a thin layer of the mixture around your face and neck and let it dry for ten minutes. While the mask is drying, you will literally feel it in action because your skin will start to tighten. After it has fully dried, rinse your face with lukewarm water and pat dry.

If you are vegan and don't want to use the egg whites, you can substitute them for black tea. Boil a pot of black tea and lemon juice on the stove and wait until it cools to a warm temperature. Place an old rag in the tea, wring it out completely and place it over your face for ten minutes. The black tea has the same effect as the egg whites, however, it will take longer for you to see results.

Just because the calendar tells your real age, doesn't mean your skin has to be truthful. With the facial scrub and oil reducer listed above you will be well on your way to lying about your age and the greatest part is that everyone will believe you.
