9 Foods to Smear All Over Your Face - Part 2


There’s more thanks to Reader’s Digest! Go raid your kitchen now!

 

Mayonnaise

Why waste money on expensive creams when you can treat yourself to a soothing facial with whole-egg mayonnaise from your own refrigerator? Gently spread the mayonnaise over your face and leave it on for about 20 minutes. Then wipe it off and rinse with cool water. Your face will feel clean and smooth.

Yogurt

You don’t have to go to a spa to give your face a quick assist:
1. To cleanse your skin and tighten the pores, slather some plain yogurt on your face and let it sit for about 20 minutes.
2. For a revitalizing facial mask, mix 1 teaspoon plain yogurt with the juice from 1/4 slice of orange, some of the orange pulp, and 1 teaspoon aloe. Leave the mixture on your face for at least five minutes before rinsing it off.

Mustard

Pat your face with mild yellow mustard for a bracing facial that will soothe and stimulate your skin. Try it on a small test area first to make sure it will not be irritating.
 Lemon
Create a facial that both exfoliates and moisturizes by mixing the juice from 1 lemon with ¼ cup olive oil or sweet almond oil.

Egg

Who has time or money to spend at the local day spa, paying someone to tell you how awful your skin looks? For a little pampering, head to the refrigerator and grab an egg. If you have dry skin that needs moisturizing, separate the egg and beat the yolk. Oily skin takes the egg white, to which a bit of lemon or honey can be added. For normal skin, use the entire egg. Apply the beaten egg, relax and wait 30 minutes, then rinse. You’ll love your new fresh face.

  7. I think this is a better option than applying egg on your face. This stuff does not smell bad after all. And in between if you have a long tongue you can lick it off from the face and eat too. I like to lick of mayonnaise from my fingers.
