1. whichhazle (sp?). To lighten red skin you can use peroxide. Just swab it in with a Q-tip
2. You could use Timewise Even complexion Essence. It works awesome! Checkout other great products by Mary Kay at www.marykay.com/amanda.griffin
3. Homemade Toners Here is how you can make a toner at home. For quickly refreshing your skin, grate a cucumber. Then use a wash cloth and apply the cucumber juice to your face. Cucumber juice is a natural astringent. It can tone and tighten skin! Eggwhite Toner Clean face thoroughly using any natural cleanser. Apply raw eggwhites to the skin and leave on for at least 15 minutes. Wash off with tepid water. Lemon is a strong astringent, dilute with water before using, being careful to keep away from eyes. Lemon Toner 1/2 cup lemon juice 1 cup distilled water 2/3 cup witch hazel Combine all ingredients. Pour into a clean bottle or decorative cosmetics container. Shake well before using. Apply with a clean cotton ball. Protein Toner Beat together 1 Tbsp milk, 1 tsp honey and 1 egg. Apply to face and neck. Leave on as long as desired. Rinse off with warm water followed by a splash of cold. Strawberry: Mash strawberries, use as an astringent and cleansing face mask. Witch Hazel: Use an extract of witch hazel as an astringent, a skin freshener and to soothe skin irritations. =)
