RE: Homemade cosmetics
I said this before in the beauty therapies forum but a good natural pack you can try is by making some plain,non instant oatmeal.. and mixing in a bit of honey.. it should be just a little warm... not too warm, and definitely not hot. Cut a square piece of gauze that is large enough to cover your entire face, and place it losely on your face while laying down. Spread the oatmeal/honey mixture over the gauze... the gauze will keep the mixture from sliding down your face, and also helps with the clean up process.
For you, I think the oatmeal honey mixture would be just perfect. This is a great soothing, healing, moisturizing treatment for your skin.
This would also be good for someone who has sensitive, sensitized, or acneic skin.

I use sweet almond oil for my acne
Sweetalmond oil is very gressy for oily skin, and also leaves a film. Grapeseed oil is lighter, less oily and does not block the pores - it's also cheaper!

There is a book called Better basics for the home by Annie berthold- bond, the book offres lots of recipes for cosmetics as well as a multitude of household recipes for cleaners etc - the downside is that the weights and measures are in American but easy to get past.

Lavender Oil for ezcema
Hi!
I read that you have ezcema and sensitive skin and I know that Lavender oil can help you with both of those issues. You can add it to your face wash, or to an unscented lotion or creme and it will not clog your pores or irritate your skin. Lavender oil is great for many other things too. The scent is mild and relaxing.
Here is some great information I found and a nice site that I use for my lavender oil. I have very sensitive skin and over the counter product irritate me. I actually created a lotion using the lotion base and lavender oil I bought from this site! Love it! and I use it at night and in the morning.
