Natural skin care

I got this really great magazine all about caring for your skin. A few tips and recipes I remember are:

Face masks - mixing egg whites together and leaving it on your face for a few minites. This tightens and makes the skin firmer.
Papya skins - repairs skin, elimiates dead skin cells and visible aging.
Avocado and honey - this is ideal for all skins just mash some avocado and add honey for a perfect mask.

Wiping milk with cotton balls over your face every morning is great for your skin.

A good toner is a herbal tea. Just make some tea, take a bath/shower and by the time you are ready to put it on, it will be a perfect temperature. My personal favourite is honey, chomomile and vanilla. Your skin will love tea toners.

A nice natural body exfoliator is brown sugar. After a bath or shower just gently rub on brown sugar all over your body.

I've heard honey is a good exfoliator but I might be wrong. I haven't tried it myself I would probably get in a sticky mess.

Hope my tips help!
