Much of the recent literature reviews plant-derived ingredients, which may include herbs, roots, flowers and essential oils, but natural substances in skin care products include animal-derived products such as beeswax, and minerals. Some natural products and therapies may be harmful, either to the skin or systemically. People prone to allergies should pay careful attention to what they use on their skin.
Raw Honey:
Raw honey is an ancient remedy for infected wounds, according to a study published in the Asian Pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine. Its antimicrobial activity fights bacteria, while enzymes and antioxidants lock in moisture.
(Mix 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon with 3 tablespoons of raw honey for a (literally) killer acne-fighting mask. Spread the mixture on clean, dry skin and leave for up to one hour before rinsing with warm water).
Egg White And Lemon Mask:
Egg white works to remove built up dirt from your skin and tighten your pores. Lemon brightens and exfoliates your skin. The citrus fruit also is a good source of alpha hydroxy acids and vitamin C. Combining the two ingredients gives your skin a healthy boost. To make this mask:
(Gather 1 egg white and juice from ½ a lemon.Beat the egg white until it becomes frothy.Add the lemon juice to your egg white.Mix together.Apply the mask to your face).
Yogurt:
Yogurt is a common ingredient used in homemade facial masks. It helps to absorb excess oil and makes your skin feel tighter and smoother. It also helps even out skin tone and has anti-aging properties that help fight free radicals.
(Take 1 tbsp of yogurt.Add juice of ¼ of an orange.Mix well and apply on the face taking care to avoid the eyes. Leave for 5 min and then wash it off.)
