Create a complexion mask for oily skin by adding just enough milk to a cup (or so) of uncooked oatmeal to make a paste. After spreading this concoction on your face, wait 10 to 15 minutes and then wash it off.

Now, after you've had a luxurious shower or bath and a facial, don't you feel battery You're rested and relaxed, your skin's all aglow, and you're ready for that night on the town! Later, when you' come home, unwind with a cup of rose hip or chamomile tea. As you sit back and sip, place the tea bags (or cotton pads soaked in the tea) over your eyelids to ward off or ease redness and puffiness.

Then, before going to bed, try dabbing on just a little plain mayonnaise. The natural emollients in this creamy dressing will soothe you right off to sleep.

And there you have a full day's quota of back-to-basics cosmetics. Frivolous? Perhaps. But once you get started, you'll find that at least occasionally devoting yourself to the cultivation of your "natural beauty" can be spirit-lifting and harmless fun!

EDITOR'S NOTE: With a "patch test, " check for allergies to any ingredients you've never used before: Put a little of the substance on the sensitive skin inside your elbow, and cover it loosely with a Band-Aid for 24 hours. If your skin shows no sign of irritation after that time, the ingredient is probably safe for you to use.

For further reading on natural cosmetics, Jeanne Rose's books can't be beat.
