   Egg works wonders on the skin, you need to have some kind of moisturizer in there and avocado lemon or cucumber are good at clearing and refreshing your skin. as an extra you could get little sand-like crystals to give you that extra smooth finish.

   you can find instructions on line and the most important thing is to wash it of before it sets, if it sets on your fase your skin will dry, crack and then produce oils to hydrate your skin. I f you was all of it off your skin will be refreshed and went get greasy.

   good luck and have fun!

   I tried this one at my sleepover party a few years ago.
   Egg, Avocado & Mud Facial Mask Recipe

   Clay is available in powder form at any health food store. Mix 1 tablespoon dry clay with 1 egg yolk, 1/4 of a mashed avocado and enough witch hazel to create a smooth mixture. Mud dries excess sebum while the egg yolk and avocado replenish lost moisture. Witch hazel tones.

   It was a little itchy for one of my friends but I LOVED IT! You should try it!

   But I doubt you will be able to get clay before a sleepover TONIGHT. So try one of these other ones I found in my "Facial Book" I have at home. The ingredients are more common in these.

   If you have oily or normal skin try:

   CARROT HONEY MASK
   Ingredients:
   2-3 large carrots; cooked and mashed
   4 1/2 tablespoons honey

   Stir ingredients together. Apply to freshly cleaned face – do not massage in – and leave on for 10 minutes. Wash off with warm water and pat dry.

   OR LEMON TOMATO MASK
   Ingredients:
   1 over-ripe tomato; inside scooped and mashed
   1 tsp lemon juice

   Puree all ingredients in a blender. Apply to freshly cleaned face and leave on for 15 minutes. Wash off with warm water and pat dry.

   OR STRAWBERRY LEMON MASK

   2 egg whites
   3 tsp honey
   1 cup strawberries

   Blend with a blender ingredients well. Apply to freshly cleaned face and leave on for 10 minutes. Wash off with warm water and pat dry.

   If you have dry or normal skin try:
