Make a paste of oatmeal and water (you can also add a little honey), apply it to your face, leave on for 15-20 minutes and rinse off. The oatmeal make your skin really soft, absorbs excess oil and soothes any minor skin irritations. Honey is a natural antiseptic.
beat some egg whites till they form stiff peaks (like when making a mirangue) just put it on your face like that. it supposed to help purify your skin.

oatmeal and water mixed to a paste is cleansing and softening
egg is drying and tightening
depends on your skin type which you choose
It isn't as easy as you may think. A lot depends on what kind of skin you have - and you may even find your skin may react negatively towards some of the ingredients.
Some of the ingredients could be to acidic for your skin and porridge (oatmeal) if not used correctly could even damage your skin because of the roughness if not softened properly/left too rough. - could in fact create small cuts/grazes, facial skin is a delicate area and can be very easily damaged.
