Facial Treatments From Fruit Recipes

1. 

   Mix 1 cup of over-ripe strawberries and 1/4 cup of cornstarch to make a drawing facial mask for deep-cleaning the skin. Leave on for 30 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

2. 

   Make a cucumber mask by peeling a cucumber and pureeing it with 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 egg white and 1 teaspoon of witch hazel. This facial mask is cooling and refreshing.

3. 

   Combine 1 egg yolk, 1 teaspoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of honey. Smooth over your face and rinse after 15 minutes. Honey is popular in facial treatments for dry skin.

4. 

   Remove the peel and pit from a fresh peach and whip with one egg white. Peaches contain an enzyme that tightens up loose pores. Use as a facial mask, by smoothing over the skin and allowing to sit on the face for 15 minutes before rinsing.
