Planning on a sex change operation Joe? :D

It's supposed to be a fairly decent acne treatment.

Skin care. This is a homemade beauty product that replaces expensive stuff we females might otherwise pay lots of money for.

HMW, check your PMs.

Recipe request.

How much yogurt and how much sugar? I've never heard of this before.

I have used a honey/egg masque-- 1 egg yolk and a tablespoon of honey. Leave it on til firm and rinse with warm water, followed by ice cold water.

[MsDoodahs]

I've been using 4 aspirins (uncoated plain generic kind), I put a couple of drops of liquid from the yogurt container on top to dissove them, then 2 good pinches of sugar, and a spoonful of yogurt. Mix it up real good, then apply to clean dry skin. I let it sit for 10 - 20 minutes, then warm water on my fingertips and massage it around a little (super gentle, the aspirin is still kinda coarse even dissolved), then rinse with warm water.

If you google 'aspirin masque', you should find a bunch of different "recipes," and I'm sure I've seen some that use honey in their versions.

I was playing in my lab today, so I tried it. It's great!

All I had was coated aspirin, so I pulverized it with the mortar and pestle, then separated the coating from the aspirin with a piece of relatively fine mesh. Using the mortar/pestle made the aspirin pretty fine, so when I added it to the yogurt, there was no coarseness whatsoever. I added the sugar until I got a decent texture as an exfoliant.

I applied it and massaged at first until it started to get too sticky from drying, then let it sit for about 10-15 minutes and washed off with warm water and a washcloth. Skin feels great!

Thanks for sharing. I'm working on a different super-top-secret cosmetic formulation. If you hear about it again, you'll know it worked. :)

For your amusement, my very cluttered, not yet finished "cosmetic" lab:

So.... Wtf is lyophilization?

[amy31416]

So.... Wtf is lyophilization?

Oh, it's the technical term for vacuum-assisted freeze-drying. Used in the pharmaceutical industry to stabilize various drug formulations. I used to work on a giant one.

Pretty high demand for people who know their way around one, they're very temperamental.

There's an entire textbook (a large one!) devoted to vacuum-assisted freeze-drying...?


Too many danged people on this planet.

Dude. I have a huge notebook with tons more info on it that you don't see in the pic. I attended a 3-day conference in Chicago on it. You have no idea how complicated it can be, especially when you're trying to lyophilize a 5-drug antibiotic cocktail and it keeps collapsing, rendering $20,000+ worth of product absolutely useless.

The stuff I worked on was for tuberculosis diagnosis, had to be lyophilized because 3rd world countries aren't always up to snuff on refrigeration, among other things.

the kitchen?

[amy31416]

the kitchen?

Nope. Semi-spare room that has a desk built-in. I know, weird counter-top for a room, I'm pretty sure the former owner used a lot of remnants from other projects to do things in this house. There's tile in strange places. Hard to explain.
