Egg White & Lemon Face Pack {Mask}

1 Egg white
2 Tbsp.  Lemon juice
Few drops of honey

Combine and whisk into a frothy mixture. Apply to clean face and neck. Allow to dry for ½ hour. Rinse with tepid water. Tone and moisturize.

Lemon juice removes dark spots, dead cells, and excess oil. Egg whites firm skin. Honey replenishes lost moisture.

Vitamin C Serum

1 tsp. Vitamin C powder {L-Ascorbic Acid}
1 tsp. Distilled water
1 tsp.glycerin

Dissolve Vitamin C in water, mashing down all clumps to make a smooth liquid solution.  Dissolve completely, you do not want a grainy serum. Add glycerin and combine well.
Serum is ready to use. Use within 1 week because Vitamin C is very unstable and breaks down quickly. Thusfore, serum loses it's properties after a week. Store in dark place, as light causes the Vitamin C to break down as well.

Salicylic Mask (Acid Peel)


Aspirin Mask 

 
6-12 Uncoated Aspirins

Lemon juice (very small amount)

Baking Soda

Water

Mash the aspirins into a powder; mix with a small amount of lemon juice to make a paste. Apply to face: let set for 10 minutes. To remove: Take about a half teaspoon baking soda and mix in ¼ - ½ cup water-use this solution to remove mask. The baking soda neutralizes the mask.

This mask brightens the complexion, helps reduce/fade dark spots, and is very good for acne.

I use weekly and it does itch as it dries, but the results are amazing! Follow with a moisturizer.
