Fabulous Citrus Face Mask: This all natural concoction is safe for any skin type once per week. Mix one teaspoon fresly squeezed orange juice with one teaspoon plain yogurt. Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water. The lactic acid in the yogurt nourishes without stripping natural oils, and the OJ packs a pure dose of wrinkle-fighting vitamin C. Out of fresh OJ? Substitute with orange or mandarin essential oil.

Americans Take Health Care Into Their Own Hands: The Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) recently released the results of a study on the self-medication trends of Americans. According to survey results, Americans are increasingly comfortable managing their own health. The study found that 59% of Americans say they're more likely to treat their own health condition now than they were a year ago. In addition, 96%, an overwhelming majority, say they are generally confident about the healthcare decisions they make for themselves. The survey also revealed that Americans rely more on themselves than on physicians when feeling under the weather. (HerbalGram 52, yr. 2001)
