What type of skin do you have? Oily skin, dry skin, combination skin, acne marked skin, or sensitive skin -no matter what the problem is, you can find a solution just for you in the market. The cosmetics industry makes billions of dollars each year from people's quest for great skin. While many chemical products are very effective, they can be very expensive. One trip to the mall can result in hundreds of dollars of cosmetics. So, before going to the mall, try looking in the refrigerator or grocery store. Maybe there are cheap, natural and safe skin solutions!

Masks 面膜

Masks are used mainly to clean pores and tighten skin. To create a natural mask to draw out impurities and tighten your pores, look no further than your refrigerator. An egg is the solution.

Beat a cold egg with a teaspoon of water. With your fingers, carefully spread the egg all over your face. Allow the egg to dry. Your skin will become very taut and the dried egg will crack. Rinse off with warm water and pat dry. Your pores will be visibly smaller and your skin will feel taut and clean.

Scrubs 洁面

Scrubs are used to remove the outermost layer of dead skin. By doing so, fresh skin is revealed, resulting in a smoother texture and healthy color. A scrub involving honey, oatmeal, and orange juice is appropriate for all skin types.

Thoroughly mix one-half cup of oatmeal, one egg, a tablespoon of honey, and two tablespoons of orange juice all together, and gently scrub your face with it. Do not scrub too hard. Hard scrubbing will damage your skin and strip away too much of its natural oil. After scrubbing, rinse off with cold water and pat dry. Follow with your favorite toner and cream.

Astringents 收缩水

Astringents are meant to dry up oil and tone the skin. The best natural low cost astringent for all skin types is witch hazel, a natural substance. It is very gentle and can be used anytime for a quick refreshing of the skin.

Simply apply it to a cotton ball, liberally smooth it over the skin and allow it to air dry. In addition to its soothing qualities, it also smells clean and natural.

Tips:

Remember that clear skin is a lifestyle and not something that comes from a bottle. Chemicals, whether natural or manmade, will not help the skin if a healthy lifestyle is not maintained. Three important lifestyle habits necessary to healthy skin are good hydration, regular exercise, and consistent and adequate sleep. Before you spend lots of money on the latest cure-all facialremedy, turn to your kitchen, run around the block and wake up to new skin.

你拥有哪种类型皮肤？油性、干性、混合性、粉刺显著型还是敏感性皮肤？不管问题何在，你都可以在市场上找到一种解决办法。化妆品产业每年从追求美丽肌肤人士那里赚取数以亿计的美金。许多的化工产品效果越好，价格也就越昂贵。去大型商场逛一次，化妆品动辄就要花掉好几百。因此，在去商场之前，仔细检查下冰箱或者去杂货店看看。没准在那能找到便宜又天然安全的应对措施。

面膜

面膜主要用来清洁毛孔和收紧肌肤。要调一款排出杂物、收细毛孔的天然面膜，那就去你的冰箱里看一看吧。一只鸡蛋就是解决的办法。

敲开一个冷藏的鸡蛋，加入一茶匙清水调和。用你的手指，仔细地将蛋液铺满你整个脸。静静地等候蛋液变干。你的皮肤会变得紧绷绷的，水分已被吸干的鸡蛋面膜也会裂开。用温水将其清洗干净，然后轻轻拍干。你会发现，毛孔明显收细了，肌肤紧致又清爽。

洁面

洁面用来去除最外层的死皮。经过此道程序，新鲜的肌肤得以显露，质感光滑，肤色健康。用蜂蜜、麦片和橙汁洁面，适于各种类型皮肤使用。

取麦片粥半杯、鸡蛋一只、蜂蜜一茶匙和橙汁两匙，彻底搅拌均匀，用混合液轻轻擦洗面部。洁面时不要太用力。用力擦洗会损伤你的皮肤，赶走太多的天然油脂。之后再用冷水清洗，轻轻拍干。接着你就可以用上你喜爱的化妆水和面霜了。

收缩水

收缩水就是平衡油脂和调节肌肤的。各种皮肤类型都适用的最天然又最低廉的收缩水是一种自然物质，北美金缕梅。金缕梅非常柔和，随时能用来快速清爽肌肤。

操作非常简单，用一个棉球蘸上金缕梅，大面积地涂抹，让其自然风干。金缕梅除了有舒缓的效果之外，其味道闻起来也很清新自然。

额外提示：

切记洁净的肌肤乃一种生活方式，而不是得自于瓶瓶罐罐。如果不保持一种健康的生活方式的话，那么化学制品，不论是自然的还是合成的，都对我们的肌肤无益。以下三个重要的生活习惯，对于健康的肌肤来说，很有必要，即：多饮水、有规律地锻炼和坚持充足的睡眠。在你花费大量的金钱用于最新近的美容补救万灵丹之前，转向你的厨房，跑遍街区，去唤醒你全新的肌肤吧。
