Pure Peach

2. Peel the peach and mash with a fork.

3. Add 1 tbsp. honey and 1 tbsp. oatmeal, either as-is or ground in a food processor or coffee grinder.

4. Stir to make a thick paste. Apply to clean skin on the face and neck, staying away from the eyes. After 10 minutes, rinse off with warm water.

Peach and Oil

6. Mash to a fine pulp or puree in a food processor.

7. Add 1 tsp. almond oil or olive oil and blend until smooth.

Peach Juices

9. Take a slice from a ripe peach and rub it on clean skin, keeping away from the eyes.

10. Leave the juice and pulp on the face and neck for 20 minutes and then rinse.

11. If only hard, unripe peaches are available, peel and slice the peach and puree it in a food processor or blender to form a paste.

12. Apply that to the skin for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm water.

Peach and Egg

13. Peel and slice a ripe peach and put it in a food processor or blender. Puree to a paste.

14. Add the white of one egg and mix again until smooth.
