SOOTHE INFLAMED SKIN WITH WITCH HAZEL

HONEY/ORANGE 5-MINUTE MASK

Apply one-half cup honey with one-half cup orange juice to blemishes. Leave on five minutes before rinsing. The honey contains hydrogen peroxide, which inhibits bacteria, while the citric acid in the juice will dry up excess oil.

Wash acne-prone areas with a little tea tree oil mixed with an equal amount of warm water.

BLACKHEAD REMOVER

Here’s a way to get rid of blackheads naturally (and without squeezing!). Dissolve one table­spoon of unflavored gelatin in two tablespoons of milk over low heat. Let cool and apply to face. Leave on thirty minutes. As you peel off the mask, you’ll peel off the blackheads.

COMPLEXION-CORRECTING

FACIAL

This two-step process has two wonderful ingre­dients. The banana is full of vitamin В to nourish your skin, while the egg white will absorb oil. Step 1

Mix together one teaspoon of honey with one egg white, and apply to face. Allow to dry and rinse.

Step 2

Mash one banana with a tablespoon of avocado. Leave on for ten minutes and rinse.

CHAMOMILE COMPLEXION CALMER

Mix one-half cup of powdered chamomile with enough water to make a thick paste. You’ll find powdered chamomile at health food stores. Spread over entire face, avoiding the eye area, and allow to set for five minutes. Rinse with cool water.
