Why it works: Tomatoes contain lycopene, which studies say helps improve collagen production and fights skin-damaging free radicals.

Ingredients:
1/3 cup cornmeal
1 cup tomatoes, peeled and crushed
1 egg white
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

Directions: Combine all ingredients into a paste. Apply to clean skin and leave on for ten to fifteen minutes. Rinse off the mask and follow with a hydrating gel, if needed. 





Skin-Restoring Avocado Face Mask
Skin-Restoring Avocado Face MaskTry it: When your skin is all kinds of confused

Why it works: Brown rice flour soaks up excess oil, while the healthy fats in avocado balance oil production, so your skin doesn't go into overdrive to replace lost moisture.

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon brown rice flour
1/2 avocado
1 tablespoon fresh apple juice

Directions: Mash the avocado with a fork in a small bowl. Sprinkle in rice flour, combining until you make a paste. Stir in apple juice. Apply mask and allow to dry. Rinse off with warm water. 






Acne-Eliminating Greek Yogurt Face Mask

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 probiotic capsule (optional)

Directions: Split open the probiotic capsule (if you have one) and mix it with the Greek yogurt in a small bowl. Apply the mixture to your face with a cotton ball. Wash off with warm water after 10 minutes. Pat dry.
