Or you can peel cucumber and put it in a blender with some other ingredients. Avocado - rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, D and E and oil. A good choice for dry and sensitive skin. Honey - Has hydrating, toning and tightening effects. Papaya - Contains papain, a protein-digesting enzyme that dissolves the dead outer layer of the skin. Don't use if your skin is already irritated or sunburned. Eggs - Egg whites tighten and tone the skin. Yogurt - Contains natural lactic acid, which helps exfoliate the skin.
