Three Choices


Depending on your skin type, here are some great masks to try. For oily skin use some plain Milk of Magnesia, rub it on and let dry, then rinse with lukewarm water. It absorbs oil wonderfully!





For Normal/combination skin mix one egg and 1/2 cup cooked instant oatmeal and a teaspoon olive oil until smooth. Spread on your face and leave 15 min then rinse.





For dry skin, mix one egg yolk, one teaspoon honey and a teaspoon olive oil and some vitamin E oil if you have it. Smooth on and leave on for 15 min. , rinse in lukewarm water and pat dry. If your skin is a bit dry you can put a dab or two of either olive oil, or any other light oil, or plain crisco if you want something heavier, on your moist skin after washing or a mask and your face is set without the $$ some people spend for the same look.

replenishes your skin.. but what u should do is mix honey and sugar use that as a face scrub to clean it good and get all the dead skin cells off then after you wash it off mix oatmeal with milk and wash your face with that and it will leave your face glowing and stunning try it... Good luck!
it tightens the skin and the pores. making it looking radiant just form a paste by adding milk and apply. once its dry, add a little water on ur face and exfoliate. so it acts like musk when wet and scrub when dry.
