Whiteheads. A mixture of one egg (white content of egg) and honey (one spoon) can be applied on the affected area in order to treat whiteheads.

Apple Cider Vinegar. It kills off the bacteria that may be causing all the trouble in the first place. Wash your face with water and pat dry. Using around 1 part vinegar to 3 parts water, dip a cotton ball into vinegar and apply it directly to the blemish. Leave on for at least 10 minutes, or overnight. Reapply several times a day, washing face thoroughly after each time. Make sure to use a moisturizer afterwards as well if you feel like your skin is getting dry.

Blackheads. Mix 1/2 tablespoon of raw honey and 1 teaspoon fine salt. gently rub the scrub on the affected areas. let sit for a few minutes. rinse with cool water. Or you can take half a lemon and drizzle a small amount of raw honey on the open half of the lemon. rub directly onto the affected areas. let it sit a few minutes. rinse with cool water.

Oily Skin. Egg whites will tighten your pores, as it contains proteins that replenish the skin, and remove the excess oil making your skin acne free. Separate the white and the yolk. Mix together, a lemon and egg white and blend it for about a minute otherwise the mixture will be unpleasant to apply. Apply the paste on a dry face and keep the paste for 15 minutes on your face. Once the mask gets dried, wash it off with Luke -warm water.

Aspirin Mask. The acid that is in the pill is a great anti-acne product. Crush the pill with the help of a spoon and a little water to make a paste.

Apply the paste all over the face, for ten minutes. Close your eyes and relax and you shoud feel refreshed.

Dry Skin. The oil in an avocado is a great moisturising. Mash half an avocado until it forms a thick consistency. Mix a tsp of honey and water. Apply it on a dry face for 15 minutes and wash off. And, if your skin is extra dry, use olive oil instead of water.
