What it does: Eggs are absolutely nourishing for your skin. The water and fat content in egg yolks make it a natural water-binding agent while the protein-rich egg white can help tighten the skin. With an egg mask, you not only get rid of wrinkles, you lock in moisture too. This makes eggs great for erasing fine lines and achieving a youthful glow.

What you need: 1 Egg

What to do:

1. Beat the egg until the egg yolk and the egg white are mixed together.
2. Apply the mixture to the face and leave it on until it dries.
3. Wash it all off with lukewarm water.

What it does: Wrinkles are not only caused by age, they’re also caused by dryness. And guess what dryness’ greatest adversary is? Moisture. This avocado and honey mask is perfect for giving your skin the moisture surge it deserves. Avocados are rich in fats and vitamins that evens out your skin and boosts its moisture content. With its humectant properties, the honey binds the newly-produced moisture to your skin. Together, they rejuvenate and smoothen your skin, and promote collagen production. Here’s a pro-tip: warming the honey will cause the mask to penetrate even deeper into your skin.

What you need: 1/2 ripe avocado, 1 tablespoon of honey

What to do:

1. Remove the skin from the avocado and cut it into pieces.
2. Mash the avocado with a fork or a potato masher. Unless you like it chunky, mash until you’re left with a smooth and creamy consistency.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of honey to your avocado mix.
4. Spread the avocado and honey concoction on your face and leave it on for 15 to 30 minutes.
5. Wash the mask off with lukewarm water.
