You can find any number of facial masks in your grocery, health food, or beauty store, but you can also make facial masks at home from all natural ingredients in your kitchen.
Here are a few facial mask recipes you can try at home. Try some and see which you like for your particular skin type. Feel free to modify, tweak, or even invent your own, too!
Of course, all these masks will need to be washed off. Use warm water only or warm water and a soft wash cloth.
If you have acne or oily skin, try this Apple Zinger mask: one medium apple, grated and mixed with 5 tablespoons of warmed honey. Leave on for 10 minutes.
Another recipe for oily skin takes a little more time, but you’re worth it! Beat 1 egg white until it’s fluffy. Then add 1 teaspoon grapefruit juice and 1 teaspoon sour cream. Leave on your face for 15 minutes before rinsing off.
And a third mask good for acne prone skin is a tomato-lemon mask. Scoop the insides from an overripe tomato and put it in a blender. Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon instant oatmeal. Puree the ingredients in the blender and apply to your face. Let it sit for about 15 minutes.
For fresh, revitalized skin, mash up half an avocado and leave it on your face for 15 – 20 minutes. Yep, that’s it. Just avocado.
How about a combination of ½ mashed banana, 2 tablespoons of yogurt, and 1 tablespoon of honey? Double the recipe and you can use half for a mask and half for breakfast. Try that with a store-bought facial mask. Well, no…DON’T try that with a store-bought mask!
