Natural Facial Masks

October 6, 2009

naturalfacialmaskFacial masks can vary from expensive to easily affordable, complicated to easy. Facial masks can be bought from specialty stores or made at home. As you will see, facial masks can be extremely versatile.

For most people on a budget, facial masks are best made at home. Chances are you already have some of the ingredients you’ll need to make the most basic of facial masks.

Making a facial mask at home is simple enough. You’ll need utensils to mash and mix, and sometimes to blend or chop. These facial mask recipes are very flexible, mainly focusing on the benefits available from natural products.

Also have a washcloth at hand to use when rinsing off the facial mask. Use warm water to rinse your face, because water that is too hot can potentially damage the skin in your attempt to clean it.

All of these face mask ideas will help balance moisture, reduce breakouts, and soften skin.

•       Mix a couple of egg whites with a couple tablespoons of plain yogurt, and apply this mixture to your face. Leave the mixture on for at least five to ten minutes, then rinse off with warm water using a washcloth.

•       Take a tablespoon of plain yogurt at room temperature and a teaspoon of honey, mix these together and apply it to your face. If your skin tends to be oilier, add in a little lime juice. Rinse off after 15 minutes.

•       Take one ripe banana and mash it up with a tablespoon of honey. Add a few drops from either an orange or a lemon, and then apply the mixture to your face. Leave this mix on for fifteen minutes, then rinse.

•       For skin that tends to be a bit dry, try a milk mask. Combine a teaspoon of powdered milk with a tablespoon of honey, a teaspoon of aloe vera gel, and a couple of drops of the essential oil of your choice. Make sure to mix these ingredients well before applying them to your face. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.

Give ay of these facial mask recipes a chance, and you’ll be surprised by how effective everyday pantry staple products can be.
