    Avocado

    • Chop up half of an avocado flesh and mash it. Stir it with some water until it has formed a paste. Apply this to your skin (face or body). Leave it on for about 10 to 20 minutes and then remove with warm water.

    Egg White Mask

    • Apply this mixture to your face for 15 minutes to dry up excess oil. Whisk one egg white until stiff and add six drops of witch hazel and six drops of lemon juice. Apply until it dries on your face, soaking up all of the excess oil.

    Make Your Skin Tighter

    • Mix one peach and one egg white in a blender until smooth. Apply the mixture on your face and let it sit for 30 minutes. Rinse with cool water for a smoother and tighter face.

    Dry Skin Relief

    • Mix half of an avocado (peeling away the skin first) with 1 oz. of orange juice, 1 tsp. of honey, 1 tsp. of molasses and five drops of chamomile oil. Spread the mask on your face (it can be used on other parts of the body that are affected by dry skin as well) and let sit for 30 minutes. Remove with warm water and a slightly rough wash cloth (such as flannel or cotton).

    The Beauty Bible Mask

    • According to the book "The Beauty Bible" by Paula Begoun, applying a bottle of milk of magnesia to oily or acne prone skin for 15 minutes will help treat your skin. Remove the mask with cool water.

    Relief for Irritated Skin

    • For relief from sunburned or irritated skin (do not use on cuts, however), mix 1/2 cup of oatmeal and 1 cup of cold natural yogurt. Apply the mask to the affected area and let it sit for 15 minutes. Run a wash cloth or paper towel under hot water and let it sit for a few moments before using it to remove the mask.
