Do this daily or every other day for at least a month.

Allow it to dry for a few minutes before rinsing it with warm water. Also massage feet while being soaked with the same solution. Let it dry for 5 minutes then rinse with warm water. If done twice a week, this solution will also whiten armpit and feet.

Facial Cleanser For Smooth Skin

• Tea Astringent - Warm tea is a very good facial cleanser and also as a skin cleanser. It has astringent effect. Wash your face, neck, and arms with warm tea in the morning to remove excess oil, and again in the evening before sleeping to remove the dust that have accumulated in the pores of your skin. Tea contains elements that stimulate tired skin, and relaxants that soothe tense skin. This is also a good body scrub.

Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly blended. Apply several layers on the skin until a “firmly” texture is achieved. Allow to dry 10-15 minutes then remove by peeling slowly. You will see the dirt coming off together with the peeled egg white and will result to a smooth skin. Do this facial cleanser mixture once a week.

• Cucumber Lotion - Yogurt and cucumber can be made into a lotion that can refresh the skin and add up to your natural beauty. It is also a good body scrub. It also helps relieve sunburned skin and restore the damaged skin tissues fast. Combine a cup of yogurt and cucumber cubes with a teaspoon of honey in a blender. Mix until smooth then apply on sun burnt or irritated skin for 10 minutes. Do this daily for 5 -7 days. Store the mixture in a chiller when not in use.

Wrinkle Remover and Skin Whitening

• Olive Oil Wrinkle Remover - Olive oil, especially the extra virgin variety, gives aging dry skin a new and healthy life. Rub the oil on the face, arm, neck, and back. Massage the skin lightly for 10 minutes everyday. Massage your face upward then sideways, using your finger tips to stretch the skin and remove wrinkles. Do this daily for 1-3 months.
