There are tons of expensive products and procedures for beautifying the skin and keeping it looking young and fresh. Try some of these all-natural, low-cost do-it-yourself recipes you can use to keep your skin young and glowing.

Natural Skin Peels
Instead of expensive and possibly skin-damaging prescriptions, use eggplant, tomatoes or pineapple – they contain natural acids. Thinly slice the ingredients and place them on your face, covering the skin thoroughly. Leave on for 20 minutes, remove the fruit and veggie pieces and wash with warm water.

Smooth your Skin with Yogurt
Yogurt contains lactic acid, a naturally occurring alpha-hydroxy acid that gently peels off the dead skin layer, giving you a smooth skin texture. Over time, yogurt can also lighten spots and even out a patchy skin tone.

Remedy Rosacea with Cucumber
Peel the skin off of a fresh cucumber and puree the insides in a blender with one egg white. Coat your face with this mixture, leave on for 30 minutes. And then wash off with cold water. Use this mask daily and you should notice improvement within a month.
