Wrinkle-Fighting Papaya Face Mask
Recipe:
- Blend ½ of a fresh papaya (seeds removed and diced)
- 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon white tea (brewed and cooled)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 organic egg white in a food processor (or use a fork) until it forms a paste
Apply to face and neck; relax for 20 to 30 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water.
Anti-Aging Cocoa Face Mask
Recipe:
- Combine 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 egg white
Apply to face and let dry before rinsing. The powerful ingredients make this a multi-tasking wonder-cream: Sour cream is a form of lactic acid that hydrates as it gently exfoliates; honey is a humectant that also boosts hydration while the protein in the egg white tightens and firms skin.

Exfoliating Sugar Face Scrub
Recipe:
- Mix 1/2 cup brown sugar and 3 tablespoons of honey in a small bowl and stir until a thick paste forms
- Add two tablespoons of an oil of your choice (olive, almond, or coconut) and blend until it integrates with the paste to make it a little lighter
- Spread the paste all over clean skin — your face, neck, and decollete
- Leave it on for five to 10 minutes and rinse with warm water
You can use any leftover scrub on the body for the same effect.
Clarifying Oat Face Mask
Recipe:
- Combine 3 teaspoons ground oats and ¼ teaspoon apple cider in a bowl until a smooth paste forms
- Add ¼ tablespoon lemon juice and ½ tablespoon brown sugar; stir until the mixture is even
- Apply to freshly cleansed skin and let sit for five to 10 minutes, allowing ingredients to penetrate top layers of the skin
- Then rub in circular motions to exfoliate and increase blood-flow
- Rinse off with warm water and pat dry with a towel.
