    • EricaStolman Reply

      If you keep it in the fridge it should be good for a week or so. You can use the mask 1-2 times per week!

  13. irma Reply

    Just wondering how long can you store once its mixed together ( dull skin)

  14. Linda Reply

    How long should the dull skin recipe be left on the skin? (It’s the only one with no time.)

    • Erica Reply

      Sorry I wasn’t clear about that! The dull skin recipe is actually a toner so just put it on and leave it on (best to use before bed)!

    can you put the acne scar treetment in the fridge?

  20. Alannah Reply

    Do you know your body absorbs a lot of synthetic beauty products you use? Scary. Anyways, I have two suggestions :) Make your own beauty products like the picture. OR you can visit this site: http://www.thenaturalbeautystore.com/cart.php?m=affiliate_go=b0062851bff418cbe2d12f9b91b7ef12 They have some really great natural products that are mostly organic and cruelty free; be nice to your body and the environment! Super plus!!

    • Erica Reply

      yes, just be careful with using too much tea tree oil too often as it could dry out your skin!

  22. khanh Reply

    For the acne scars mask, mine turned out very watery. Is it supposed to be like that?

    Nice post about skin issues.

  24. agezim61 Reply

    Thanks for these tips….. I like the fact that the remedies are in expensive to make. I will be trying the one for dry skin! Can you clarify why “real” mayonaise has to be used rather than salad cream? Just curious!!

  25. Jen Reply

    Hey just wondering what other dairy item you could use instead of yogurt, could you use cottage cheese or sour cream instead? Thank you.

    • Erica Reply

      yogurt is your best bet because it is filled with great probiotics!

  26. Jessica Reply

    My acne one came out runny as well. Is that okay? And how long can it be kept?

    • Erica Reply

      That’s normal!! I would keep it for a week, in the fridge and use it as often as you like :)
