Hydrating Facial Recipe
Reverse and control symptoms of old age before it's too late. Follow the four simple steps below.

Steaming
3 chamomile tea bags
1 tablespoon fennel seeds
1 (1-quart) pot

In pot, brew tea bags and fennel seeds. Bring to boil and let steep for 5 minutes.

Remove tea bags and bring to boil again. Remove from stove.

Place your face (skin should be free of all makeup and cream) over the steam, keeping your eyes closed. Use a large towel to cover your head and the pot. Save the tea solution. Chilled, it makes a great skin tonic.

Facial Mask

Squeeze half a lemon and mix the juice with one beaten egg white. Leave on your face overnight or, for a quick pick-me-up, just 15 minutes. Splash warm water on your face to rinse.

It helps to removes blotches, because the lemon works as a bleaching agent.

Egg, Avocado & Mud Facial Mask
(best for oilier skin types)
Clay is available in powder form at any health food store. Mix 1 tablespoon dry clay with 1 egg yolk, 1/4 of a mashed avocado and enough witch hazel to create a smooth mixture. Mud dries excess sebum while the egg yolk and avocado replenish lost moisture. Witch hazel tones.
