If you want to make a natural facial at home, you should head to your kitchen. You can use a variety of different things from your refrigerator for a good facial treatment. Personally, I’ve used everything from avocado to watermelon.
Here’s a great homemade facial that uses chamomile tea, papaya, honey and banana (sounds like a good drink).
