I made a facial mask today using coffee, olive oil and salt. it actually works and exfoliates your skin.

Here are a few:

Almond and Blueberry Face Mask
Ingredients:
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
3 t. powdered oats
1 t. finely ground almonds
1 t. wild flower honey
First, add the oats, and turn on the food processor for a few seconds, until it forms a fine, powdery meal. Now add the almonds, with the skin on and turn on the food processor
again. The almonds will be coarser.
Place these two dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, now add the fresh blueberries (you can use frozen if they’re out of season, look for organic!) to the food processor and pulse a
couple times until the blueberries are mixed, but still chunky.
Add the blueberries to the bowl of dry ingredients, and add the teaspoon of honey.
Apply the mixture to your face, or if you are using fresh blueberries and you want to cool it, put it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before applying. Leave the mask on your face
for 10 minutes them rinse off, pat your face gently with a towel and apply moisturizer.
ALMOND AND BLUEBERRY FACE MASK:
Recipe:
4 tablespoons fresh blueberries
3 teaspoons powdered oats
1 teaspoon finely ground almonds
1 teaspoon wild flower honey
Step 1: First, add the oats, and turn on the food processor for a few seconds, until it forms a fine, powdery meal. Now add the almonds, with the skin on and turn on the food
processor again. The almonds will be coarser, but the consistency together will create a smooth mixture for your mask.
Step 2: Place these two dry ingredients in a mixing bowl, now add the fresh blueberries (you can use frozen if they’re out of season, look for organic!) to the food processor and
pulse a couple times until the blueberries are mixed, but still chunky.
Step 3: Add the blueberries to the bowl, and add the teaspoon of honey.
Step 4: Apply the mixture to your face, or if you are using fresh blueberries and you want to cool it, put it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before applying. Leave the mask on
your face for 10 minutes them rinse off, pat your face gently with a towel and apply moisturizer.
Almond and Turbinado Sugar Scrub
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups turbinado sugar,
3/4 cup ground almonds
1/2 cup olive oil
1 capsule vitamin E
Place the ground almonds in a clean bowl, and add the turbinado sugar.
Add in the olive oil.
Stir mixture together and apply to a clean face. You can use the recipe up to three times a week.

This is a classic; exfoliate with coffee grounds. Cheap (if you or someone in your household is a coffee addict) and very effective. Plus there's nothing like the smell of coffee to get you going in the morning. By that I mean while in the shower, not that you will walk around smelling like coffee all day.

This thread reminds me of this:

2000 B.C. -Here, eat this root.
1000 A.D. -That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer.
1850 A.D. -That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion.
1940 A.D. -That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill.
1985 A.D. -That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic.
2000 A.D. -That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root.

Just because you take a bunch of random, unproven shit and save money doesn't mean it is genuinely effective. Sounds pretty god damned naive to me. Cosmetics companies spend billions on scientific research, and are required to keep up an effectiveness for their products. You just sound like you read a cosmetic book written by Kevin Trudeau and took it to be fact.

For one, spending billions on research is no guarantee in itself that you will end up with a miracle product. What is and isn't scientific research is highly debatable. A company conducting a test on 100 women, not necessarily representative of the population, and have them rate the real or perceived benefits they experience from using said product, is that science? Adding artificial ingredients to a product and giving it some "scientific" sounding name does not make it more or less effective. Many diet shakes have a proven effect, and like to credit this to its revolutionary, highly advanced ingredients. In reality, consuming 800 calories a day, whether they come from a diet shake or bananas, will result in rapid weight loss in most people. If I suggest olive oil is as effective in moisturizing your skin as many expensive creams on the market, here's how you find out: Apply and observe the results. That is probably the most comprehensible empirical data you will ever get the chance to study. If I can buy an exfoliation cream for $10 or use old coffee grounds and the results are the same, how am I naive not to go for the cream? Because it has a list of 80 ingredients that I don't even know what they are? I am not saying all natural recipes will work but neither will everything that comes out of the cosmetic companies.
