Instructions

1. Mash an over-ripe banana. Add 1 tsp. of almond meal and 2 tbsp. of plain yogurt. Mix all the ingredients. Apply the mixture to your face except the eyes. Rub some on your neck as well and leave it on for about 10 minutes. This facial is great for any type of skin, as it'll exfoliate dead skin cells and soften the skin. Rinse with cool water.

2. Take an egg from the fridge, separate the egg yolk and the egg white. Apply the egg yolk to your face if you have dry skin. If you have oily skin, rub the egg white on your face and neck. Leave on for about 30 minutes and rinse off.

3. Cut an avocado and mash a small piece. Apply it with your fingertips to your face and neck. Let it dry for about 10 minutes and rinse it off. Dry skin will benefit from the avocado's natural oils; copper and other nutrients, as well as the oil in the avocado will moisturize and soften your skin.

4. Look for ingredients in your fridge like yogurt or sour cream. Mix some yogurt or sour cream with some honey to make a facial. You don’t have to measure any specific amounts. The enzymes and lactic acid in dairy will soften any type of skin skin. Honey has a cleansing effect and is good to moisturize.

5. Blend one cucumber, strain it and keep the juice. Mix the cucumber juice with ½ tsp. of lemon juice if you have dry skin. Stir the mixture and add 1 egg white beaten. You may add 1 tsp. of witch hazel for toning purposes. Apply the mixture to your face, and leave it on for about 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water.

6. Slice an apple and put it in a food processor, select the chop setting. Pour the chopped apple in a small bowl and add some honey, stir the mixture and put it in the fridge for about 10 minutes. All types of skin can benefit from the antioxidants in the apple and the honey; additionally, apples contain phenols, which protect the skin from UV-B from the sun. Place some mixture on your fingers and use a tapping motion to apply the mixture on your face. Leave on for about 25 minutes.
