Beauty tips

1. A facemask of egg white and honey gently removes the tan from your face.
2. Mix oats with honey, yogurt and ground almonds. Apply this in your face, leave it for five minutes and wash with lukewarm water.
3. Cucumber is a natural cleanser. Mix cucumber juice with milk and use it instead of a cleanser.
4. Take 1/3-cup cocoa, three teaspoons of heavy cream, 1/3-cup ripe papaya, 1/4-cup honey and three teaspoons of oatmeal powder. Mix it all together. Apply on your face. After 10 minutes, wash your face with warm water. This is best for oily skin.
5. For oily skin, apply a mixture of grapes, lemon and egg white. Leave it for 20 minutes and rinse with warm water. While lemon acts as a natural cleanser, grapes will soften your skin and egg whites will tighten it. Don’t be alarmed if your skin tingles.
6. Cut the lemon and rub the wedge all over your face. Leave it for about 20 minutes, and then rinse off with cold water. This will refresh your face. Avoid doing this if you have dry skin.
