DIY Lemon Olive Oil Facial

I stumbled upon this amazing Lemon Olive Oil Mask DIY on TotalBeauty.com the other night, and since my hormonal skin is needing a little pampering I thought I'd give it a try. It's the perfect pick me up for a night out on the town and perhaps another holiday party. Here's the scoop,  the olive oil moisturizes, the lemon brightens and helps out those troublesome blackheads and blemishes, oatmeal treats blotches and the egg whites tighten your skin. And though olive oil is best for dry skin (and has been known to treat acne), the combination of ingredients is great for normal, combination, oily and acne prone skin. All the benefits of a facial straight from your kitchen, yes please!
