Lemon and lime





- Bring to a boil a quarter cup of lemon peel, a quarter cup of lime peel, and lemon leaves


- Steep for five minutes and add a tablespoon of lemon juice, two tablespoons of oats


- Add a tablespoon of wheat germ


- Let cool, then apply on the face


- Rinse off after 30 minutes





theres also a scrub (not a mask) that I cant remember--but I know it includes sugar to scrub the cells off the face--its was really nice and refreshing!!
although it may not be a product in your everyday pantry but if you go to whole foods and buy dairy biokulturing it does wonders to acne





keep on for 10 mins


and rinse with warm water
Try mixing sugar and honey... then apply it to your face for 15 minutes. then rinse off.
I put baking soda on my face at least twice a week. It has anti-oxidants in and its really good.





The other thing you can use is mix few drops of lemon in half glass of milk. Then add 4 to 5 drops of vinegar. It will help reduce the pours in your skin.
Here are 2 simple healthy masks.

- one half banana


-2 tbsp. yogurt


-1 tbsp. honey





Mash the banana with a fork then mix in honey and yogurt. Apply to your face evenly. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off with cool water or soft wash cloth.

exfoliating:


mix 2 parts brown sugar or granulated sugar with one part milk, scrub for one minute then rinse off with warm water.





pore tightening:


egg whites:


apply one egg white all over face, leave it on until it completely drys, then rinse with warm water.





lemon:


apply lemon juice all over face like an astringent.

it's the yellow powder and the green one which I can't remember the name of right now,, wait I got it. ghasil. and ask your mom the name of the other one. They're both really good for skin, but if you put on the yelllow one, it will literaly make your skin yellow, you'll come out of the bathroom looking like an alien.
