    Rubbing pineapple or papaya on your skin also works great in place of a toner. Great natural astringent and passive defoliator. Rub it on, let it sit for a few, and rinse lightly with water.
    Fresh is best, but you can use canned if you rinse the syrup off very, very thoroughly

    I like to make large amounts of home made skin care products. Will it keep in the fridge? If so for how long? Can it be kept somehow outside of the fridge? I've read that grapefruit oil preserves some recipes. Help!

    salt, honey and milk are good cleansers.
    Take 2 teaspoons of milk and 2 tablespoons of honey. Mix both ingredients until form a paste. Apply it to face and neck, leave on for 15-20 minutes. After dry, wash with lukewarm water.
