Let's face it! Summer travel, the intense heat and continuous dehyradration in the sun can have a damaging effect on your skin. Now while we turn to SPF and a daily skin care regimen to protect us and keep our skin clear, skin treatments are important too.

If you don't have time for a spa facial, the two recipes below will get you in the kitchen creating a beauty regimen that can keep your skin smooth, bright and beautiful. And naturally too! Give it a shot.
