Egg whites

Egg whites act as a mild astringent, helping to firm and tone the skin. Apply to the face and leave to dry for 10 minutes before rinsing off. As the egg whites dry on the face, they lift dirt and debris out of the pores and soak up excess oil, making it a good choice for those with acne.

Honey

A natural antiseptic, honey has been used for wound healing for centuries. Because it kills bacteria, it is sometimes found as an ingredient in natural products for acne treatment. Best suited to those with dry skin.You can apply directly to the face as a moisturiser.

Coconut oil

. If you’re prone to acne, avoid heavy oils (like olive oil) and opt for coconut oil, which is less likely to block the pores. Smooth on to damp skin for an ultra-hydrating moisture boost.

Oatmeal

You will find oatmeal in a range of beauty products. Famed for its skin-soothing properties. Add a handful of oats (the same kind you eat for breakfast) into a bath and soak for 15 minutes to soften the skin. To make a gentle exfoliation, mix oatmeal with warm water and apply to the face in circular motions, then rinse off.

Green tea

Green tea isn’t just good for your health, it can help improve your skin too. Take two bags and dampen with cold water then apply to the eyes for 10 minutes to help reduce puffiness and dark circles.

Natural yoghurt

Good for your digestive health, plain natural yoghurt can do wonders for your complexion. Apply directly to the face and leave for 15-20 minutes to cleanse the skin and tighten pores

Banana

For a natural moisture boost, try mashing up a medium-sized banana into a smooth paste and apply to the face and neck. Leave for 15 minutes and then rinse with warm water.

Turmeric

Used in Indian and Eastern cooking, tumeric is celebrated for its anti-inflammatory properties, to speed wound healing and to help treat eczema. Studies show it may help firm ageing skin too. If you want to try it, mix a little turmeric with your normal face cream. Used neat it can cause irritation.
