No spa is a true spa without a facial, am I right? There are many options based on your skin types and what you feel like, but since it's the middle of winter and my skin has a tendency to dry out, I used a mask for dry skin and a lip exfoliant to keep my lips from drying out. Afterwards, I also used a pore reducer, just for fun.
Avocado Mask: Mash one ripened avocado and mix it with half a teaspoon of lemon juice, and one egg white. Then I applied the paste to my face and waited for it to dry and rinsed it with cool water. Many of the recipes I found also included honey, so you can add a tablespoon or two if you want to experiment.
Lip Exfoliant: The instructions read to have one part brown sugar to one part honey to one part olive oil. I used 1/4 Tablespoon of each and it made a good amount for using one time. You could also use 2 Tablespoons of each, keep it in a small jar, and use it in the future.
Pore Reducer: Whip one egg white and 1 tsp. of cornstarch and apply the froth to your face. Let it sit for 20 minutes, or until it's dry, then rinse off with cool water. I wouldn't recommend this face mask because I didn't see any reduction in the size of my pores, and it seemed to dry out my skin back to the point of where it had been before the avocado mask.
