Banana
Nourishing skin with a banana peel can help make your skin feel refreshed and soft because of the minerals it contains. Peel a banana and rub what's left on the peel on your face and leave it on for 10 minutes.

Honey
Everyday Health recommends that for dry skin, try using a honey mask. Put honey on your face for a few minutes and then rinse with warm water. The honey helps to open and clean pores while moisturizing and rejuvenating your skin.

Olive Oil
Olive oil can give you a great facial if you rub it on your skin, just be sure to use an extra-virgin variety and wash it off after a few minutes. Olive oil is full of vitamin E and other antioxidants that slow the appearance of aging by fighting free radicals.

Oatmeal
Using an oatmeal face mask can add a glow to your skin. Restorative properties in oatmeal works to enhance the texture of the skin and makes it plain and even. Also if your skin is damaged due to sunburn, it can be cured effectively with cooling oatmeal. All you need is 5-6 tables spoons of plain prepared oatmeal, spread on the face and let dry 10 minutes. Wash normal and enjoy the results.
