This collection of homemade organic facial masks is sure to please. Note that citrus ingredients are better for taming oily skin and that you can always substitute another fruit in place of a citrus fruit if you have dry skin.
Bananas are best for dry skin, but you may find that substituting an apple may work better in certain recipes (like the citrus delight mask). Remember to always use organic ingredients so that your skin is not absorbing more chemical toxins.
The Citrus Delight Mask
This mask for oily skin is a luxury in exfoliation, scent, and moisture; a true skin treat and quite tasty, too. Because of the way the natural chemicals in the foods work together, this mask should be mixed just before use. Attempts at storage greatly reduce its effectiveness. Mix your lemon and cream cheese and apply liberally to a clean face, staying away from your eyes. Lie back and relax for 15 minutes, rinse well with warm water.
Ingredients
1 organic lemon, peeled, seeded, and mashed
3 ounces organic cream cheese, softened
The Herbal Honey Mask
This mask delivers essential nutrients as well as infusing your skin with moisture. Mix the following ingredients well and use immediately after use for optimal effects. This mixture can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 10 hours. Apply to a clean face (away from eyes) and let sit for 20 minutes, rinse with warm water. Although the mask is edible, it does not taste good!
Ingredients
Leaves from 2 small bunches fresh organic parsley (cleaned and chopped extremely fine)
2 tablespoons organic honey
3 drops organic lavender essential oil (may be a scent of your choice)
1/2 teaspoon 5000 IU Vitamin E oil
1/4 cup organic yogurt
The Hydration Mask
This is a quickly made 2 step mask that is excellent for dry skin. Mix ingredients and apply to clean face (away from eyes). Let sit for 15 minutes and remove with warm water.
Ingredients
Your favorite organic cream moisturizer
1 or 2 tablespoons organic honey
The Mean Green Mask
The skin softening effects of avocado have been known for centuries. This is an easy, inexpensive mask you can make which combines benefits of two of nature’s best kept skin secrets. Mash the avocado and honey together immediately before use as this mask does not do well with storage. Apply to a clean face (away from eyes), allowing it to sit for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
Ingredients
1 large ripe organic avocado, peeled and sliced
1 1/2 tablespoons organic honey
The Pore Stomping Mask
A little known secret is that tomatoes are excellent pore reducers. This trick should not be used if you have allergies to tomatoes. Peel a tomato and mash well. Apply to a clean face (away from eyes) and let sit for 15 minutes. Cleanse as usual.
Ingredients
One small/medium tomato
The Secret Banana Mask
Bananas and cream make this mask one of the most nourishing and hydrating masks you can use. Bananas hoard away tons of great things for your skin, especially for dry and/or aging skin. For use as an anti aging organic skin care, this mask should be applied 3 to 4 times per week.
Mix all ingredients immediately before use. You want the mixture to be a very thick cream. If it seems too runny, add a bit more oat flour. Apply to a clean face and allow mask to sit for 25 to 30 minutes.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons fresh organic cream (heavy)
1 organic banana
1 1/2 tablespoons organic honey
1 1/2 tablespoons organic oat flour
The Very Berry Mask
This incredibly fresh mask is sheer organic temptation for your skin. The raspberries’ natural acids refresh and invigorate your skin to give you a beautiful, healthy glow. Blend all of the ingredients except oat flour on high for 30 seconds, pour into bowl and add oat flour to firm the mixture (it should be a very thick cream). Apply to a clean face (away from eyes) immediately after mixing, allow the mask to set for 30 minutes, and rinse with warm water.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons organic cream (heavy)
2 tablespoons organic honey
2 table spoons organic oat flour
4 drops organic lavender essential oil
1/2 cup organic raspberries

Incredible! He looks so life like. Just amazing…and what a beautiful subject
1. Glue-like sweet smell of propanone. Colour changes from orange to green.
2. The propan-2-ol is oxidised.
3. Done. It's a ketone.
4. No change in colour. Tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidised in this way.
5. Acidified KMnO4.
6. 2-methyl propan-1-ol.
Just because the meat says organic doesn't mean they weren't caged in tight spaces. You want to look for packaging that says free range on it. Those animals are allowed to graze and are feed a good diet.
Great talent Der Mann.
Wow, the things people come up with to separate people from their money.
It's a complete scam and I would wonder about a store that carries such items. Either the owners do not understand what organic foods are or they are into ripping off their customers by selling such useless and likely expensive items. Either way I would find another health food store that is honest and knowledgeable

yes, but with most things… there is an added expense to "organics" when dealing with things such as vegetables so it would be a cost disaster unless it was the same price as other sources.
You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.
As the other girl mentioned, organic tampons are probably made of organic cotton. Organic cotton is like a ZILLION times better for the environment than regular cotton. Cotton is a crop that has REALLY high pesticide use, so organic obviously, would be way better than that….
Tampax are a blend between rayon I think and cotton or just rayon? They're at least partially synthetic.
organic foods dont have growth hormones in them, causing early puberty and metapause [spelling?]. other chemicals can cause brain damage, liver & kidney damage, and even some cases of learning disabilties. i grew up on organic milk because the cows arnt fed growth hormones to produce more milk and fruits & vegatables because they arnt sprayed with pesticides.
Brilliant Willy, Just Brilliant =D
Very nice!!
Excellent work. Pleasure to watch. Perfect music

organic is supposed to be more heathier for u/more "organic". my parents like to buy the organic one but i dnt like it i stick with regular.
Nice work, you did pretty good.
Hey MissLiss,
I've heard meats and dairy since the fat in these foods tends to absorb more of the pestcides and growth hormones used in conventional farming. However, I've also started to use organic, unbleached flour in my baking and found that everyting I baked turned out nicer. Of course, organic fruits and veggies (when they're in season) are tastier and healthier. You might even find that there's a co-op organic farm nearby that you can get a membership tp for not too much money.
