This may seem weird at first, but egg yolk is filled with cholesterol. Cholesterol is a molecule designed to carry other nutrients throughout the body. Egg yolk is a carrier of a multitude of skin-nourishing nutrients, such as essential fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins. The yolk is a perfect nutrient delivery system. Instead of eating it, apply it topically to feed the skin.

Separated the yolk from the egg white and beat it. Use your fingers to spread the yolk evenly on your face while avoiding the eyes. Let it dry without cracking. Wash it off with a wet washcloth. The egg yolk mask leaves you with plump and youthful skin.

Reduce dryness and fine lines with coconut oil. It might seem counterintuitive to put oil on the skin to cleanse it, but moisturizing is key to healthy skin. Coconut oil has antibacterial properties that set it apart from other pore-clogging oils.

Use coconut oil on its own or add it to sugar to make a scrub. Either way, spread it evenly across your face. Place a hot, wet washcloth over your face after spreading on coconut oil. The heat will allow the coconut oil to get deep into the skin. Wipe it off, and you are done.

To keep young, we need to slough off the old. The best way to use sugar or salt in your home is to make scrubs with them. Use fine grain sugar for delicate skin, such as on the face; standard grain salt or sugar for large surface areas of skin, such as the legs; and coarse salt for rough skin, like heels and elbows.

Combine one cup of white sugar, half a cup of solid coconut oil, half a teaspoon of any preferred essential oil, and a splash of water for a smoother texture. Apply to the desired area and wash all those unwanted skin cells away while moisturizing.
