Why don't you...whip up a face mask.

I got this mask from Martha Stewart's magazineThe recipe comes from Elena Arboleda, salon director at Mario Badescu Skin Care.  I have done it a couple times and love the soft, brightening effect it has on my skin.  Egg white's high protein content and Lysozyme enzyme help tighten pores and hide wrinkles giving skin a smoother look.  Honey is a natural moisturizer that attracts water into the skin.  Olive oil is rich in antioxidants and vitamins making it highly effective at neutralizing damaging free radicals and delaying the signs of aging.  Lemon juice contains enzymes which help exfoliate and tone skin.

Whisk together:
1 egg white
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Smooth on a thin layer from the hairline down to the decolletage and let sit 15 minutes.  Wash away with cool water, pat dry and apply your favorite moisturizer.  Easy.
