- Wash your face with sandalwood paste. It is known to be anti-inflammatory and will help kill acne-causing bacteria. It will also remove dirt and excess oil from the skin without drying it out as soap does.
- Cut a ripe aloe vera leaf open. Apply the gel on your face and leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes before washing it off. This will help remove impurities, shrink pores, tighten skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. It’s also great for sunburns!
- You can also cut an aloe vera leaf in half, mix equal parts of coconut oil and aloe vera gel, apply it to your face and leave it on overnight.
- Make a cup of black tea, then use the same cup to mix in 1 tablespoon of honey until it dissolves. Apply this mask directly onto your skin, leave it on for 10 minutes before washing off with cold water. The honey and tea will help exfoliate your skin, tighten pores, and even out your skin tone.
- Using an egg white as a face mask is not only beneficial for your hair, but it’s also great for the skin. Beat the egg white with one tablespoon of raw honey until thick and creamy, then apply to your face. Leave on for 10 minutes, then rinse it off using cold water.
- Mix one teaspoon fresh lemon juice with two tablespoons of sugar. Mix until sugar is fully dissolved. This mixture works as an exfoliant and has antibacterial properties that can help reduce blemishes and remove dead skin without drying your face like commercially made facial scrubs can.
- Take a slice of a cucumber and thinly slice it. Put the slices in a clean bowl, then add one teaspoon of milk cream (or heavy cream) into it. Mix well, then apply on your face for 10 minutes before washing off with cool water. This will help reduce inflammation, tighten pores, reduce blackheads and dark spots, and also reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
- Rinse your face with warm water and apply a small amount of honey on your skin. Honey has antiseptic, antibacterial, and moisturizing properties that will help rid your skin of acne scars and blackheads while moisturizing at the same time.
- Do not rinse your face with warm water for 10 minutes after applying aloe vera gel made from 100% pure aloe vera gel. Aloe vera has many skin healing properties which will help soothe sunburns, reduce inflammation, hydrate the skin, and also even out skin tone.
- Grind equal amounts of fresh tomato and cucumber into a pulp, then add one teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply this mixture on your face for 15 minutes before washing off with cold water. Tomatoes contain antioxidants that will help improve skin tone, reduce the appearance of acne scars, and tighten the skin. Cucumbers have anti-inflammatory properties which help soothe sunburns and reduce redness.
