You always have it in your home and if not, it’s not very expensive to buy. After you wash your face mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with two cups of water as a finishing rinse. This will cleanse and even tighten your skin leaving you feeling younger and great.
For a mask you can mix 3 tablespoons of cider vinegar with 3 tablespoons of water together. Apply the solution to your face and leave it to dry. Wait twenty minutes before rinsing your face with cold water. Apply your moisturizer.

Who needs botox when they have bananas sitting in a fruit basket at home? Bananas can be used as an all natural homemade face mask. This mask remarkably moisturizes your skin, leaving it feeling and looking softer. All you have to do is mash up a medium sized ripe banana into a smooth paste then gently apply it to your face and neck. Let this sit for a few minutes, 15-20 mins then rinse it off with cold water.

Avocado, lemon and egg white

A few weeks ago, a friend of mine needed advise on what do about her constantly oily face. Now because she had oily skin, my girl was always suffering from acne breakouts. While doing my research I came across the avocado, lemon and egg white facial mask recipe. I don’t eat eggs so at first, I thought it was gross.

Asked her to apply it twice a week, while using aqueous cream as a moisturizer. Four weeks later, l got a text saying,
‘I don’t know if it’s the aqueous or the mask but thank you’.

Lemon is a rich source of vitamin C, which is perfect for oily skin, as it has natural astringent properties. Egg white is great for moisturizing dry skin.
Beat the egg white until frothy. Add the avocado pulp. Mix the two together with one teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply a thick layer of this facial mask recipe to your face and leave it on for 30 mins. Rinse well with warm water.
