Please bear in mind that these things I have tried myself, and have recommended on to others. They may not work for you as they do for me, and ALWAYS check to see if you are allergic to any of the things you use on your face BEFORE applying them to your face. The skin on your upper inner arm is a suitable, and easily hidden area to test on.
OMG!! I just used neat lemon juice on my face after a good scrub with my facial scrub. It tingles just like a fruit acid peel, except without the whole burning thing. Afterwards, my skin felt AMAZING! So soft and plump ... simply not like a woman of my generous years. I will definitely do this again, but bearing in mind it must be at MOST fortnightly,and stay out of the sun for at least 24 hrs as citrus products can make your skin photo sensitive, discolouring and perhaps burning more easily. This would so undo what I tried to achieve, so where is my straw hat?
One of THE best fresh food facial masks is egg white and honey. Simply take one egg (doesn't matter if chicken, duck or goose or whatever ...) and allow to warm to room temperature. Whip to stiff peaks. Add 1 tbl spoon natural honey (can't use the supermarket stuff, sorry) and continue to whip for a minute or 2. Apply to face and allow to dry for about 15-20mins. Wash off. You will certainly notice a difference here, as the protien in the egg white will strengthen and firm your skin, the honey is one of the best cleansers around.
At home microdermabration is achievable if you use sodium bicarbonate powder from your kitchen cupboard. Put a little into a container. Wet your face and hands. Dip fingers into powder and rub into facial skin. You need to keep this up for about 5 mins. It really does work!

Cleanse as normal
steam facial with herbal combinations (see herbal combinations page) - boil your kettle, tip boiling water into a solid plastic or glass dish. One that won't tip over. Add dried or fresh herbs.
Using a towel over your head, lean over bowl and allow steam to reach all parts of your face.

I have done this since I was a teenager, which is more years that I care to divulge. My skin, at my age, is still firm, clear and has small pores. Even my nose!! So, it works for me, but there of course is no guarantee that it will work for you, sorry. You just have to try it out!
