Health and natural skin products

Bananas
Use for dry or sensitive skin, mash a whole banana and apply to the skin. Leave on for about 10 minutes, then rinse off completely.
Honey
This is great for dry skin, a tablespoon of honey, a lightly beaten egg white and a teaspoon of glycerin, mixed together with finely ground oatmeal to make a paste, this will make a great moisturizer. Apply to the skin and leave on for about 20 minutes.
Glycerin
This can be bought from chemists, it's also good for mouth ulcers, apply a couple of drops on a fingertip to the ulcer. It helps slough off the skin, and speeds up the healing process.
Canned coconut milk
Half a cup of canned coconut milk, warmed in the microwave until runny, mixed with two tablespoons of honey.  Massage into the skin, rinse off after about 10 minutes.
Cider vinegar
A good skin toner for oily skin, can be made out of one teaspoon of cider vinegar and two tablespoons of water. The cider vinegar does smell rather strong, though.
Tomatoes
These are beneficial for oily skin because they contain natural exfoliants and acids. Skin a ripe tomato and puree briefly, then apply, washing off after 15 minutes. It's a bit difficult to get it to stay on the face. :)
Oatmeal
A bit of raw oatmeal, mixed with half a cup of lemon juice and a lightly beaten egg white to make a paste, does wonders for oily skin. Rinse off once the paste has fully dried out.
Strawberries
Oily skins can be balanced out with strawberries. Crush a handful of strawberries and apply for five minutes. Like tomatoes, a little difficult to keep on the face.
Pawpaws
These contain a tenderizing enzyme. Mash half a medium-sized ripe pawpaw, mix with one well-beaten egg white. Rinse when the mask is almost dry to the touch.
Vitamin E
Wrinkles may be kept at bay with a Vitamin E mask. Mix one egg yolk with the contents of a Vitamin E capsule (you want the oil inside the capsule, snip off one end with scissors and pour the oil carefully into the egg yolk, Rinse off after fifteen minutes.
Apple
Stew an apple gently in milk for 20 to 30 minutes. Puree it and apply, warm but not hot, and rinse off when cool.
