Easy But Effective Facial Mask, Good For Desperate Teens

I heard of this facial mask that is good for everyday face cleaning, and your skin will turn out softer. I myself have used it, and my best friend actually came up with it, and she used to have the ugliest skin, but then she came up with this, and it is so awesome!
1 1/2 cup (instant) oatmeal oats
1 egg white
2-4 Tbsp. honey
1/2 Tbsp. baking soda (optional)
1-2 Tbsp. corn starch (optional)
A couple drops of milk
2 Tbsp. butter (natural works best) Mix all ingredients and let sit in bowl for about 10-15 minutes or until it is up to your desired thickness. The thicker, the better so it will stick to your face. Then apply, and let it sit on your face for 15 minutes to an hour. It doesn't matter how long you keep it on, as long as you keep it on for at least 15 minutes. My friend says that she loves this and will never stop using it. It really works.
I gave up a long time ago, my face was just too unmanageable. A couple of weeks ago, my friend introduced me to this recipe, and she finally got me into trying this, and I loved it so much. I don't think that I will ever stop using this either. I swear, this is a recipe worth trying. You won't regret ever trying this. a lot of my friends tried it, and they all love it. I mean, what do you have to lose?
It is easy, and kind of fun to use everyday. It makes me feel much more confident in myself everyday. I swear, it works.

What natural ingredients is best to use as a facial mask

Honey. Use warm cloth to open pores, smear on honey, leave on 15 to 30 minutes, rinse off with warm water, and then use cold water to close pores. Use for 3 days in a row and then once a week. Sometimes I mix a little gound oatmeal with the honey, which makes a great mask.

Egg whites. Just beat one egg white until it is frothy. Spread it all over your face. Wait until it dries. Rinse it off. My face feels very clean and "tight" after this application. And then I use the yolk for cooking.

Egg yolk. just apply the raw yolk to your face and neck for 30 minutes and rinse with cool water. Egg yolks are high in vitamin A. The mask is very effective in healing blemishes.

Match Mask to Your Skin Type

For trouble-prone skin, mix oatmeal with water to form a paste.
For normal to oily skin, use an egg white.
For dry skin, use an egg yolk.
In all cases, spread mixture on face and allow to dry. Rinse thoroughly with cool water.
For oily skin, witch hazel makes an inexpensive toner.
For dry skin, you may want to add moisturizer while skin is still damp.
