A little DIY can be fun so here are a list of widely available ingredients that you can use to whip up your own homemade mask and treatment.
EggWhen egg whites dry, they have a temporary tightening effect which can help tone and and shrink pores. Simply beat up an egg white and apply onto the face for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. As for the yolk, it can also be used on its own as a mask for healing blemishes. Egg yolks also very high in vitamin A and you can mix it with a little honey for a moisturizing mask.
Baking sodaThis works great as an exfoliator. Simply mix with a few drops of water to form a paste. Massage onto the face gently in a circular motion to smooth rough skin and rinse with warm water. Baking soda can also be used as a teeth whitener. Sprinkle a little on your toothbrush before the toothpaste goes on and brush away.
HoneyKnown for its moisturizing and healing properties, honey has always been used by models and pros for all kinds of treatments. To treat chapped lips, simply apply a thin layer onto lips before you go to bed. Reapply during the day if necessary.
