* Tomato Facial Mask
Terrific for normal skin. Cut a small sized raw tomato into two halves and gently rub both halves on your face in a circular motion. After the tomato face pack has dried, rinse your face completely, tone and moisturize.

* Easy Egg White Mask
Improves skin tone. Massage egg white all over your face. After mask has completely dried, rinse your skin thoroughly, tone and moisturize. Leaves your pores feeling taut and refreshed!

* Peachy Honey Mask
Works like magic and tastes great! Mash 1 large skinned peach (or nectarine) and 3 tsp. honey together, and add 2 tbsp. yogurt until you have a workable paste. Pat evenly over your face and neck and around your eyes. Lie back and relax for about 10 minutes. Rinse well with warm water, tone and moisturize.

* Cool as a Cucumber Facial Mask
This mask is perfect for any skin type; for best results, apply weekly. Place 1 cup oats and 1 tbsp. wheat bran in a blender and grind to a fine powder. Add 2 tbsp. buttermilk, 2 tbsp. whipping cream, 1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice, 1 tbsp. plain yogurt, 1 tsp. fresh mint leaves, and 1/2 medium diced cucumber. Blend until consistency is smooth. Apply to freshly cleansed face and leave on for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water, tone and moisturize.

Hey the Peachy one, makes me hungry though...

What about cucumber, or sliced potato over your eyelids? They work wonderrs with bags under your eyes......

i just rub lemon juice on my skin whenever it needs a brighten up, about 15 minutes before a shower. it just seems to really cleanse and tone it.

Lemon juice? What are the benefits from doing that? Sorry, I'm just curious!

it is gentle acid and it also has a mild brightening effect, i think it also has antiseptic properties if you have a pimple or whatever. it was used a lot in the past, its also great for that hard dry dark skin on your elbows, might take a few applications to get the benefit though.
