Can't wait for your Organic Pharmacy shipment? Marrone suggests three easy ways to treat stressed skin in a pinch.

By Ariel Childs

Soothing skin remedy
To Soothe

Once a month, steam your face for five minutes over a bowl of hot water and two teaspoons each of fresh or dried thyme, rosemary, mint, chamomile, and lavender. When done, rinse with the water.

 
Honey-and-yogurt mixture to moisturize
To Moisten

Mash together three tablespoons thick Greek yogurt, one teaspoon honey, one tablespoon ground almonds, and two fresh strawberries. Apply to your face, wait 10 minutes, and rinse with warm water.

 
Kiwi renews skin
To Brighten

Cut a kiwi in half, rub it on your cleansed face, then rinse with warm water after five minutes. The fruit acids will exfoliate and bring a healthy glow without damaging the skin.
