5 Simple DIY Facial Masks and Cleansers
The following are 5 easy recipes that use foods and other low cost things you have at home to help you create a yummy spa day.
Dry Skin Mask:
1 Banana, mashed
¼ tsp pure honey
Simply mix the ingredients together until they form a paste. Gently rub on your face and neck. Allow it to dry (about 15 minutes) and peel it off. It should leave your face smooth and full of moisture. You can do this treatment about once a week.
Skin Tightening Mask:
2 tsp honey
2 egg whites
2 tsp rip avocado, mashed.
Mix together and pour off any extra liquid. You just need the paste. Gently rub it on your face and neck. It is important to rub on the neck as that is a place many people see aging first, as the neck does not have as many oil glands as the rest of the face. Rinse off with warm water. You can do this treatment once every 2 weeks.
Strawberry Fun Cleanser
6 Large Strawberries
¼ cup White Vinegar
1 Tsp Plain Yogurt
Mix together and gently apply to face. The seeds will help exfoliate your skin and it smells really yummy! Wash off when you are done cleansing. You can do this as often as you want, but once a week is ideal.
Sensitive Skin Mask
1 Tbsp Instant Oatmeal
3 Drops Rose oil
1 ½ Tsp very ripe avocado
1 tsp Honey
1 drop Lavender oil
½ tsp Pure Coconut Oil
Mix all the ingredients to create a paste. Gently apply to your face and lave on until dry. Wash off with warm water. This mask will help exfoliate and hydrate at the same time,
Oily Skin Formula Cleanser
1 ½ tbsp Witch hazel
½ tsp plain unflavored yogurt
1 ¼ pure Aloe Vera juice
1 tbsp instant oatmeal
Blend into a smooth paste with a food processor. Add more oatmeal if you need to, to make a paste. Apply as you would a cleanser and wash off with warm water. You can do this treatment once a week.
