Facial From Your Pantry

You'll need:
  • a cup of quick-cooking oats
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 2 tsps fresh milk
  • 4 tsps honey
  • ice cube

Here's how:
  1. Make a thick paste of the first-four ingredients.
  2. Using your finger tip, apply the paste to your face and scrub lightly. Leave it for 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water.
  3. Gently scrub the ice cube to your face (this step will tighten your pores). Rinse again but this time with cool water.

Storing Cookies

  • Crisp, thin cookies should be cooled then stored in containers with loose cover. If they become soft, it can be reheated in a 300 degrees Fahrenheit oven for 5 minutes or until crisp again.
  • Soft cookies must be cooled down. Then kept in tightly covered containers to retain their moistness.
  • Bar type cookies may be kept covered with plastic wrap in the pan.
  • Uncooked refrigerator cookie dough must be well-wrapped then stored either in the refrigerator or freezer.
